The Mysterious Axman and the Timber Tragedy
A tale from the woods between the Scarsdales and the Kirchoffs describes a disputed timber tract still standing. After a series of killings during attempts to clear the land Howard Scarsdale abandons his plan following Elsie Kirchoff’s warnings that an unseen axman is at work. The forest remains untouched as a chilling local legend and a house sits abandoned in the clearing.

Officials estimate a 2.6 to 3.0 million surplus, enabling a 1.75 million school appropriation next June. Growth stems from Auditor General efforts and higher corporate capital values, notably rail and utility sectors.
