OUR LOCAD LAWS. We publish this week the ordi nal), es of the town of Walhalla, whirh were recently ratified by tho mw City Council. These laws re main much tho same as heretofore, bul there aro ono or two slight changes. Wo call attention to them because they are important-unite as important, if not more important, to the people of Walhalla, than even tho laws of the stat?! at large. They represent the govern mon I next to thc home. These laws are made for a three fold purpose Hie protection of the law-abiding citizen and the punish ment of the law-breakor, and for the h ? -: ^ l/.e themselves With these laws. These officers are tho guardians of the town, and they should know the laws and seo that they are enforced, lt is not Infrequently Ihe case that members of the Council are the chief violators Of certain sei t inns of these local laws, especially those portions for the protection of Ibo public health. As a matter of fact, if there As any difference whatever to be made be tween (ho private citizen and the memhei of Council, the law should npplj more rigidly lo tho olficlal than to the citizen. We trust that every citizen will lend his onergy toward the enforce ment of these laws and assist the olli cials In i heir unpleasant duty. To be most effective these laws must be (die.ved. hut in tho absence of proper regard Tor them they lUUSl he en forced. In the enumera'ion of the licenses fixed there appears an error with ref erence to contractors and builders. This should read: "Contractors and builders, for ii,ooo or under. each additional $ 1 .OOO or fraction thereof, $1." The error is due to the copy furnished for the printer, but was discovered too late for cor rection in type. The tax ordinance remains the same as for the past two years. This leaves a heavy burden on all persons "Who have honest returns made on? their property, and we reel that it would have been better had the Council seen lit to remove thc extra tax?- However, there are better reason., for tho retention of these extra taxes than there wore for their original levy. Hui lhere ls always dancer of extravagance where un necossary hardens are placed on thc people. Wc believe, nevertheless, that Wal hallas ollVials have Ihe good of tin tern at heart and will aol overlook the fact thal the moneys thal come Into their hands are there as a sa cred trust. Tho people will not com plain greatly If they arc given oppor tunity to see thal their money is bc lng f pent judiciously. "Sil.'iee in Court!" lt la Magis trate A. I*.
