THE REASON FOR MOMOIPAti JMPE0U
MI081TY
It ia it fact and a laaiontuble fact tco
that nearly every city in this country is ia a
state of ehronic impecuniosity and is badgered
With debt and tlio just uWunds of creditors
Hurt in Texas we do not know of an incor
porated town or city that is not iu debt and
short of funds. Houston is iu a torriblo con
ditlon In this particular and our own cityi
while its debt is comparatively small and is
not burthonsome to that degreo to make it
difficult te meet interest ns it accrues and also
to lay aiiido ometuitig fur a sinking fund
yot the state of the city treasury is not such
s to enable the city to indulge to tke extent
it ought to di in stroat sanitary aid other
Improvotnoets. Our streets ought to ba
paved and we ought to have a thorough a
ajlleiout system of surface and underground
drainnj;o but the objections raised by many
persona is the lack of money with which to
py for thoso neoded improvements. The
followinp which wo clip from t:.e Now Or
loans City Item pives a clue to the reason of
tho impecuniosity of ao many cities : "A
most importarit real estate salo has been con
umniated. Mrs. Ellen Brook ef Huston
represented by Mr. Henry Shepherd has
Did the butture square in front of the Or-
leans cotton press bounded by Water Front
I nulla and Terpichoro streets to the Now
Orloaui & Texas Pacific railroad company
rjprcienloe by Qoneral Q. M. Dodge. This
transaction secures to Now Orleam boyond
question a terminus of the great railroad tit
a locality most favorable to hor commercial
'Morula. Tho great cotton presses the ship
ana steamboat landia" and other railroad
rrught depots are in nlote proximity to the
elected stto nnd thus will be saved time and
cost In handling tbo groat bulk of products
wnicn the new route is destined in
eiinoiy to bring to this port. The
purchase price for this square of ground
ire learn was $150000. A year a Mr.
HI...I....I ... i .. . .. .
wmiwcru rmusva uuuuu tor ii. u ia as
sessed on tho tax rolls of 1878 as squares 9 A
nnd 10 A for $15000 $7f01 and $7500 a
t)tal for both squares of $110000. Oa the
rolls for this year and subsequent te the re-
ported bid of $80000 tho as.esstnont was re-
duced to $15000 $0000 and $:t509 a total
of $26000. Now that the Item has made
public these factn the authorities should
promptly corroct tho grave errors commit-
ted so much to the publio dolrimt nt. When
th.' roail is finished all the cotton prosses and
much other property iu the vicinity will bear
pretty still increase in valuation for taxing
purposos." Here we see a block of ground
valued at only $25000 when it is returned
for taxes to tho city assessor jot the agei.t
rjfuies to sell it for $90000 ai.d aclully
receives $150000 in cash for it Ia other
wards he renders It for taxes
onesiith of his own vjW
toa of the propoity. Is Now Oricai i
.'one in this matter of undervaluation for
ttxes? We fear not. W do not fsiertthat
property owners in Dallas ur in any othor
city of this stale make false returns of their
p operly but if all propetty were assessud
at what it would tell for at what the owners
duraand when a purchaser approaches would
nt the agirogato f taxable property In
very city in the state be largely increased in
the figures of value and would not the rata
of taxation be proportionately leisoned! It
dos not matter bow much the c!tiz n it
taxed if he get valuo received for the taxes
he pays. The citinen of a cty owning prop
arty way eomplain at bavirg t? pay taxes on
inegroum that the streets in his noitrhbor
hied aro not worked or bcuu?a bit Dortion
of the city hat no sidowalkt.or no fewer or
no gat lights in othor words because bo does
not receive valuo for his t txos. Now it all
the property wero rondored at its lut valua
tion and a sufficiency of money was vearlv
received by laid city to pave its streets put
down sidewalks construct tewori light its
treats at night and support a police force
adequate to iu proper protection and safetj
Would not the tax payer eel value received
f jr the monoy paid out by him in taxea r
What is the remedy for undervaluation of
proporty when it li resorted to by tho tax.
pyerT How would a law do for the an
pointmont of a dislntoresloi board of ap.
pratserj empowered to ptsj upon the
valuation given to
erty rendered and
put ht too small a
it to its just
an me prop
.
v.ncn 11 was
iiijiiro to raise
valuation- or
CmpM the proporty owner to take In cash
from the city the price fixed by himsolf upon
his property ? We do not know that such a
law would ba feasible that Ia constitutional
cut if io would Knot remedy tho evil we re.'
far to wherever It aaav exist. Suppose t man
m k city 1st which he rofusee $1000
eash for taking $1600 for It but vrbich he
rinders at $250 to tb tax assessor ought
not tli at man in soma way to be ra
quired to put a just valuation oa bis lot ! If
ha can sail the lot tor $1000 cash it ia worth
that amount of money. Then if it is worth
$1000 he ought to pay taies on $1000 in
s '.ead of on $250. If such an evil as this
etista anywhoro whost place it it to eorroc
t and how can it be done ara pertinent
questions.

The interesting youag ward of the com-

tic deviltry. A fow weeks ag it wat discov-
ered that be had almost cut his way out of
his iroa-lined cell with a file that bo had
begged borrowed or stolen frim some
one. Probably a member of the humsno
society sent it to him in a tract.
Tea warden told him then that the
authorities had thaireyeon him and that the
guards had standing orders to shoot him at
tight if found outside hit cell. Since thvn be
h'.s put on a refurmfd air. Thero waB a pet

more discreet wa.den than Colunol Chamber-
lain would have given the youth a pet

or sometliini; congenial of that tort ; but i s it
happened they pave him the cat. Somethirg
or other led the guard to inquire it to the cat's
welfare a day or two go. 0i (xamining the

it may find time to look iato the wrongs of
that cat considering it is not a child.
Last year Gen. Butlor in a speech which
contained aore agriculture than politics
ar.d in which ho could have no interest in
stating what was not true said :
" We start in amazement to learn that
three hundred and titty million dollars worth
of butter and cheese have hecu produced in
this country within the last year or oao-
foveath moro lean the value of the wheat
crep in this country and one-third more
than that of the cotton cron." Uutler as
usual didn't tell the truth about cotton.
