' Reassessment Bill Prepared. The legislative committee of the Fed erated Association of County Commis sioners, hat adopted the bill providing 1 for a reassessment and . revaluation of property in' the counties. The bill does not affect Baltimore city. It will be Introduced in the Senate by Senator Price, chairman of the Finarice Committee: Because Baltimore city does hot come under the provisions of the bill some of the county members are objecting to it. The bill contains 84 typewritten pages. Governor Crothers will support the re assessment bill. Through its adoption it is believed the taxable basis of the State will be increased many millions of dollars. : ''The Commissioners have also prepared a bill amending the Shoemaker Road law so that the counties will be paid monthly for the road work done under the law. Under the present law the counties do not receive the State’s part of the money until the work is completed. Oovernor Will Receive Applicants And Their Friends.

The State Board of Health has fur nished figures indicating that the loss from tuberculosis among wage-earning males in the State of Maryland amounts to $15,264,850; ‘ among females, $9,140,060; or a total annual loss to the State among wage-earners alone from this single disease of $24,404,910. The cost of the deaths of‘persons other than wage earners cannot be calculated in money, except with great difficulty, but it must be considerable. The annual cost to the State from typhoid fever some what exceeds $5,000,000T The cost of all preventable diseases from the deaths of wage earners alone is never less than $50,000,000 annually. The principal agencies concerned in combating this preventable loss are the State Boards of Health and the local boards of health tbronghout Maryland. Considering the importance of the func tion exercised by these health authorities, the Commission finds that both the State and local departments of health are given extremely inadequate support and that the local governments, with the excep tion of Baltimore City, furnish very small amounts to be expended on health matters. The annual appropriations of the State Board of health for 1908 and 1909 amounted to $20,300 distributed as fol lows: Tuberculosis, $5,000; infectious diseases, $3,500; food and drink $2,500; general expenses, $2,000 vital statistics, $1,800; vinegar $500; salary of secretary, $2,500; salary of medical assistant, $1,000; salary of chemist, 1,500, In the opiniqp of the Commission $50,000 annually e£>uld be expended in addition to the present appropriation, greatly to the benefit of the people of this State in further expanding the work of the State Board of Health. Among the States whose departments of health yield efficient service, Maryland probably furnishes less support to its department of health than any other State. The State of Florida having a popula tion of less than half of that of Mary , land, appropriates over $50,000 annually. The State of pennsylvauia appropriated in 1907 to its department of health $2,059,000. According to population, the appropriation oi Mayland on this basis ' . would be $488,800. The appropriation for|tbe Department of Health of Pennsyl vania was increased last year to over $3,000,000 Condemnation Proceedings. In order to straighten the approach to the western end of their new bridge at Havre de Grace, the B. & O. railroad com pany was compelled to secure new rights of way, aid among others desired to ob tain right of way through the cemetery of the St. James A. M. E. Church which comprises about two acres ;_the trustees of the Church, colored, demanded $6,000 therefor, deeming this only a fair compen sation, to buy new ground and remove the bodies, etc; but the company offered them only S6OO which was declined, and condemnation proceedings were insti tuted. The jury in the case returned a verdict of $3,000 for the church trustees.
