Out i of this latter tax will be paid the ! greater part of the (loaing debt, it having been mostly incurred for building purposes and therefore properly provided for by a building tax. The rate totals four mills higher than that of the past year, which will not be generally popular among the taxpayers; but the situation is pe- 1 culiar. With half a million dollars or so expended -in new buildings since the former triennial assessment, the j last assessment shows substantially no j increaiML at al:l, while expenses increase every year with great regular- j ity. When the School Board reaches twenty-six mills of tax-rate, the law , will forbid further increase, and unless -the assessed valuation is raised, there will have to be a curtailment of I school privileges.

There is every indication, however, that it will •be at Hood tide this fall, and there will . be nothing to retard the starting of the local mill. Giving employment to over ono hundred girls at a lair wage, the industry will be a most welcome adjunct here, and the citizens are anxiously awaiting the initial turning of the wheels. All the machinery for the equipment of 'Punxsutawney's newest industry. the silk. mill, has arrived, and within a short time it will be assembled and made ready for use, so that it is probable that the mill be under headway about the first of July.

June 20th, the envelopes will be taken up by the same boys, the bells and whistles of the town announcing the time of the collection.
