cio.__________ ihave the
power to cut down this budget, but in view of the general public sentiment in favor of increased salaries to teachers it is not be.ieved they will be able to do much paring.
The budget for roads has not yet been submitted, but it will be before the levy is made. Nnder the new road law it is made the duty of the Roads Engineer to submit a budget to the Commissioners on or before Lie first of December, which shall contain a comprehensive statement of all proposed expenditures for roads and bridges during the coming fiscal year, and once this budget is approved it will be binding both upon the Roads Engineer and the Commissioners. It is expected that the roads budget, like the schools, will be considerably greater than the current year's appropriation.
The tax rate for the current year is $1.13 for the 8-month period, or the equivalent of $1,69% for 12 months. In view of the inevitable increases in appropriations for schools and roads it is difficult to see how the County Commissioners can reduce the rate for the coming year, although it is not expected that it will be materially increased. While the expenses of the county have increased, the taxable basis has also increased, although not in the same ratio.
But even though the county rate for next year should go up to $2—which does not seem lkely, however, at this time—the burden to be assumed by county taxpayers will not be nearly so great as the burden to be assumed by Baltimore City taxpayers'. The' City authorities, like the County Commissioners, have been working on their new levy, and while the rate has) not been fixed, it is generally agreed that it can not be lower than $3. And assessments, as a rule, are much higher in the city than in the county.
Taxes, like everything else, have increased as a result of the war, but not nearly in the same proportion. And while the rate for the current year has caused some county taxpayers to complain, they should take some consolation from the fact that the rate in Baltimore county is with one or' two exceptions, lower than in other counties in the State, and Baltimore county is, unlike most counties, entirely free from bonded debt.

LEAGUE'S FRANTIC EFFORTS TO ASCERTAIN WHAT FEE WAS FOR
(Continued from Py.ge 1)
the license fees from Pimlico as a matter of right. But inasmuch as the Legislature, largely as the result of Mr. Cook's activities, haa provided that the county should nevertheless receive these fees, why berate the County Commissioners for having employed and paid Mr. Cook for his services?
It has been generally known among people in clos etouch wih county affairs, ever since the 1920 Legislature convened, that Mr. Cook was emAloyed to look after the county's interest in this matter, but it has been regarded as a subject which the County Commissioners could not very well afford to advertise too extensively, through fear that the City delegation, lashed by the city press, might be led to put up a fight for the repeal of the law at the next session. And this is what is apt to happen if the Taxpayers' League insists upon giving the matter more publicity.
It isj not an uncommon thing for municipalities to employ special legislative counsel in matters of this kind. At the 1920 session the City of Baltimore employed former Mayor Preston as its legislative counsel at Annapolis, and paid him a good fee. It was done secretly, but up to this time no taxpayer of the City has been heard to complain about it.

The object pi this suit is to procure a divorce Avinculo Matrimonii by the plaintiff from the defendant Josephine P. Clark. The Bill cites that the parties were married on the 10th day of June, 1916, and that they separated on the 15th day of August, 1916; that there was no issue; that the conduct of your orator has been above reproach and that he treated his wife in an affectionate manner; that his wife without any just cause or reason deserted and abandoned him and declared her intentions of living with him no longer; that such abandonment has continued uninterruptedly for more than three years and is\ deliberate and final and the separation of the parties beyond any reasonable expectation of reconciliation; that the defendant is a resident of Baltimore City and three consecutive Non Est have been returned by the Sheriff of Baltimore City.
It is thereupon this 17th day of November . Ordered, by the Circuit Court for Baltimore County, in Equity, that the plaintiff, by causing a copy of this order to be inserted in some weekly newspaper published in Baltimore County, once a week for four consecutive weeks before the 20th day of December, 1920, giving notice to the said absent defendant of the object and substance of this Bill, warning her to be and apear in this Court in person or by solicitor, On or before the 5th day of January,
1921, to" show cause, if any she has, why a decree ought not to be passed as prayed.
