JXr. Editor :

In an editorial in your paper of last
week under the head of Jfrownvijle you
solicit the opinion of "our citizens" upop
the policy of 8-treet improvement in the
city of UroYnville and of borrowing
money for this purpose; in compliance
therewith 1 submit a few facts for the
reflection of your city readers.
The grading of the Streets should be
general so that a large proportion of the
property holders would be benefited, apd
such a system should pe adopted as ulti
mately will comletely grade every Street
in the city. Anything short of this
would be manifestly unjust to a few at
least of our many tax payers.
There &eeros to be an imperative de
mand for the grading of a portion or all
of Nebraska, Nemaha, Atlantic, Main,
Water aqd Richard streets, and the crossj
streets up ta and including seventh Street.
and in order to accomplish this the city
charter has cot to be amended to give
the Council power whenever petitioned
therefor to sell the city bonds for such
an amount as will cover the cost of grad
ing such Streets as the petitioners shall
ask for, such petition should be signed by
a majority of the legal voters within the
charter limits.
The last charter assessments gives us
a s v m f .t
ft valuation ot 2l,tov. it me cny; kj
debtedness by virtue of such an amend-
ment as spoken of should be limited to
five per cent of the assessed valuation at
any given time we could now realize by
virtue of such a provision on the sale of
the city bonds the sum of 14,223, with
which to commence the grading.
The councel should have power to levy
a special tax to pay off this indebtedness
within ten years and this interest thereon
semi-annuallv which would require an
r
annually levy of not to exceed eight mills
0n the rJcllar each year until paid. If we
taje iqto apcouqt the increased valuation
0f property for the next ten years by
virtue of such improvements and the cap
ital that would seek an investment in this
city were it brought into shape by such
a system of grading it would not be un-
reasonable to suppose that a tax each
year of five mills on the dollar would pay
the whole in ten years. And I venture
the assertion that the average income of
each tax payer for one day in each year
will pay his tax created by virtue of this
amendment. Certainly there is no one
really interested in the improvement and
future growth of the city who will look
upon this as a burden.
It is really a good investment in a
pecuniary point of riew adding twenty
five per cent to the value of the lots on
an outlay of one eighth of one per cent
yearly for ten years. Now are we in
favor of such a policy? If we are, a
petition should be sent up to the Legisla
ture without delay or else the matter will
lay over another year, and 1868 will find
us, now. with but one badly graded Street
to travel on, and the capital which we
might have secured for this point, gone
elsewhere. Shall we act now or not ?
