TAXATION Citizens 2Ietin At a called meeting of the citizens of riattsmouth, held at the Court House on Wednesday evening, July vn'lcs " .:r:: : ;";;: Chair and Jno. A. Mat-Murphy elctcd Secretary. Dr. Black stated the object of the lueeting was to devise means to reduce Our present rate of taxation. Mr. Dovey followed, and endeavored to fchow that we were taxed higher in in 4..,m. k :,n in "Vw Vnvlf where the late for oftt tt.ou.Ond dollars w;ts templated improvements, and on the 83 and here, it was 843, He also j subject of our city expenses generally, mentioned - Boston and Nashville as As there has been considerable talk on rities where taxation was less than j this subject, and no little feeling exlub here. Spoke of the reposed grading ited by some of the parties on both on Chicago Avenue and claimed that by having it done now and bonding the city to pay for it the tax payer teally would ht-.ve to pay about $3300 more than if we waited untill the cash was iu te treasury to pay for the tamc- D.

T "While tfco cemmitte on r&oraUons yvexv absent, Atayor Livingston waa loudly called for and coming forward spoke in substance as follows: lie was anxious to see the taxes reduced, as. anxious as any one, but the roads must be fixed either temporarily or perma nently. The Council thought best to fix them permanently. Went into the actions of the former Council, said they left several weoddhUcks on the hands of the present Council, and these Avenues were two of them. Said if the people wanted these avenues fixed he should fix thcin, and if a majority of the people did not want them fixed; they should not, with his consent, be fixed. Said the law in regard to con tracts" authorized the Council to let this contract for grading. Asked, "What shall we do with the Avenues?" The Hon. Mayor then gave the ilg ures for expenses of this Council, claiming that they had been more eco nomical than their predecessors for the same length of time. The" committee on resolutions an nounced themselves ready to rejiort, and Mr. Wheeler read the following resolutions: Whereas, The Mayor and City Council have lrt a contract for grading in the city of Plattsmouth, as shown by the Nebraska Wjitchtnait, which no tice is dated June 25th, 1873. and Wiiekeas, The said notice proposes to pay for said grading in Street Bonds, payable in (1) one, (2) two and (3) thretj years; and Whereas, A contract has been let for the grading aforesaid, at 01 cents per cubic yard, which is at about one hundred per cent, more than the said contract can be let for in cash, if let in divisions, so that our working men, of small means, but with plenty of ener gy and good health to back them, could take the contracts ; and Whereas, The Charter, irl See. 89, expressly provides that the Mayor and City Council shall not issue to exceed S:'.OfiO in Ilonds. without first stlbmit ' ting the proposition to the legal voters of the city; and Wiiekeas, Said bonds, when issued, as provided in section lid, cannot, un der the provisions of section 40, of said charter be issued, payable in less than ton years nor more than twenty years from date, with 10 per cent, interest ; and Wiiekeas, The! Taxes of the city are now so burdensome that some of our merchants and business men, are cur tailing their business and endeavoring to leave the city, thereby lessening the taxable property of the city, making the taxes a good interest on every man's investment in the city, and at the same time keeping out parlies who would otherwise invest in and help build up the city; therefore, be it Ilesolrt'l. That a committee of five be apjMvInted to wait upon the City Council and respectfully ask the Mayor and Council to at once annul the con tract already made for grading, and to stop the useless, and unnecessary ex penses, now being contracted by the Street Commissioner under the orders of the Citv Council. tfrsond, That thg Mayor" ami City Council be, and they are hereby respect fully requested to "reduce the expenses of the city government to a fair, rea sonable, and living basis, reduce the taxes, and do such other acts its an in dividual would do who wits without credit and living on the charity of his friend3. llesolrerf, That the City Council be requested to expend only such an amount as may be necessary to put Chicago aventiein a passable condition, and ve believe such, work can be done for a sum not exceeding $300. The resolutions were received, and lion. Ii, dishing spoke in behalf of the Council. Said in Brownville taxes were G per cent.; in Lincoln on $1200 he paid$9; said the opening and gra ding of Chicago Avenue was indispen sible; justified the expenditures of the past and present Council ; told a story which was received with applause by some Dr. Geo. Black gave an estimate of the City expenses, putting them it $3,000. Two gentlemen holding opposite opinions had a sparring match on the subject of taxes not necessary to print here. The chairman gave his views, and the resolutions were again read by Mr. Wheeler. The last one was stricken off and a vote called for vica roce. The chair declared itself in doubt, and a standing vote was taken,- resulting in ! adopts of the uomtioM bya vote of 3t for to 33 against; Meeting adjourned until Monday evening, July 14th. . OUIi CITY TAXES. In another column of this paper, we havo given the minutes of a meeting of our citizens in regard to certain con- sides, it becomes the duty of the Her ald, as a faithful chronicle erf the news, and a watchful guardian of the people's interests, to give something j more than the bare minutes of that I meeting. j For a number of weeks previous to ! that meeting there had lcen murmurs i on the streets that our taxes and ex i penditures were too heavy, the burden ! of taxation was felt. It was a positive weight, a wet blanket on the spirits of some of our citizens and a source of j uneasiness to alb These ar6 facts that every one knows. Our Mayor and Common Council must have been aware of these rumors, in a small town like this there cannot be a subject of this importance agitated but that almost every one heats of it, and to now corae in and declare tbrst it is a surprise' to them or an insult is simply absurd. It is not this phase of tlte business, however, that the HekIld proposes to treat of at present, nor yet the" propri ety of the contemplated grading, but the mnnncr in -which certain parties errac" &vrn e?-tk? charge of a, puttie mooting in this town thafc T?aa called f cr a epociiied purpose by a j-cspectable portion of this' community, and should have been left in charge of the persona xt ho called it by all the rulea and usages in regard to public meetings in this country, unless it be the deliberate intention to break up such meeting by force and violence. it is not in anger that the Herald desires to speak of this matter, but in sorrow to think that we have any citi zens among us that will lend them selves to Bitch a scheme. The only pos sible excuse for the conduct of certain parties there that evening was that they deemed the Call an jnsult to the Council cr to the Mayor. We shall proceed to show that the call could not have been intended for an insult to either the Mayor or Council, without the greatest absurdity, and secondly if it was and had been an insult that neither then nor there was the proper time nor place for the Mayor and Coun cil to resent an insult, and if our May or or any of the Council have come to such a pass that they must send a lit tle clique of clacftlerit to a public meet ing to avenge their insults they are not the men we think they are, or have sunk far below tlie dignity, of their of fice. To show that neither the call nor the meeting could have been intended as an insult to the Mayor, or to any of the Council, we have Cnly to refer to the original meeting is sift. WHEELER'8 office. We" wcYe passing there accidentally, and were called in. We found there eight or ten of the best business men of the town there was no heat, no anger, no malice expressed toward any individual of the Council, or, to the Mayor. It seemed to us, a calm, deliberate and grave assemblage of citi2er:3, for legi timate purposes. They w;ere of both political parties, and not a man was there but who had warm personal friends in that Council ; not a man was there but tvho had strong political ff iends in that Council, let him call himself democrat, liberal, or republi can ; not a man there but who had vo ted for a portion of that Council. To say now that these men with such di verse political opinions, and social rela tions, assembled there with but one point in common, and that a financial one, would fulminate a call that was a:i insult to some of their best friends is simply to insinuate that you have more natural born fools in Plattsmouth than any where else on the continent, and the gentlemanly friends of the Council weaken their own side when they ay sert that this meeting wa3 an insult. The insult comes from the other way. Again, it is said that the call for a public meeting should not have been issued, they should have etitioned the Council. &c. That may be, a petition probably would have been sufficient, but people do not always do the wisest or best things, and it is very easy to point out mistakes after events have happened. These men certainly had a right to call a meeting cf their fellow citizens to See how many of them would support their views lefore go ing before tlie Council with a petition, and it does not help the cause of the Mayor, Council, or their friends that they came half way, aye more, to meet this call which they deem so unjust and improper. If unjust and unwise why not have let it run its own course and run itself out? Why come to strengthen it by fierce and violent op position? A Democrat, an old citizen, a good man and a Warm personal friend of the Mayor, made the first motion for a public meet ing, at Wheeler's olTiee,and it was to prevent one of the very charges that the Council party now make, that lie gave as a re;ison for so doing, viz.: "That no person mizht say it was the work of a few persons for any personal advantage," and yet it is now charged that it was all the work of two or three east Plattsmouth men. Well, if Jacob Vallery, John Black, Parker Wise, Wm. Stadelmann, C. II. Partnele, C. Hei.el, J. J. Bussell, Jason Streight, W. L. Itobbs, M. L. White, B. Spurlock, Tutt, Hays, and others are east Plattsmouth men, the points of compass have been changed, and if all the signers to that call are led by the nose by two or three east Plattsmouth men, then must the two or three east Plattsmouth men le pretty sharp fel lows to pull their string3 80 Shrewdly as to control your senior County Com missioner, a Democrat, several of your richest and best business men, ir respective of politics, and over sixty others to do their bidding. This posi tion is as absurd as the other, and if there is anV insult in the matter it is to the citizens on that call whom you so cooly hand over to two or three cast Plattsmouth men. AT THE CCfUKT IHTCSC Having disjWsed erf the call, wo come to the meeting in the Court House. It was a large and respectable meeting. It was in answer to a call signed by seventy-nine of your citizens, too large a body, gentlemen, allow U3 to say. to bo ignored in a snlali town like tins. By all the rules and tis'ages of public meetings that meeting should have been in the hands of men that signed the call. ' This is the invariable custom, and Mr. Dovey had a right to call that meeting to order and to nom inate oue of the signers of that call to the chair, and the first intuit offered to any one (if any were offered that even ing) was to Dr. John Black, an old cit izen ami a responsible man among you, in not allowing him to quietly occupy that chair and open that meeting in the visual form. The opposition to his doing so was bad policy, id bad taste and subversive of good order in4ur community, and we are sure all good and true men will agree with us here. It wa3 bad policy on the part of the opposition because it was tantamount to an acknowledgement that their cause was weak, or it was a direct insult to Dr. Black by insinuating that he would not deal fairly awl justly by all persons in that house while in that chair, and that they mu3t have aneber man.' It .was bad tate because it would hara beafl moro dignifla'J an J roanly to have vr ;ited nnUl they eavf what that mooting h:ut to Bay for it self, or until iU eaairmta shewed1 by aonio overt act tliat he was not dFsp03l to givo equal rights to all there. It waa subversive of gJJl ordsr'by teaching our young tnoii to ha rude and disorderly' at public meeting and lead ing them on to suppose that they m ly do so with impunity only provided they have a pretty strOng crowd along with them. Lastly, we dislike to see our young men resort to the warfare of rowdie and roughs and we feel sure that our Hon. Mayor aud the Hon. President of the Council are both tou able ami have too uracil brains with which to light their battles, ever to countenance such claap-trap measures as these to carry their ends and will not thank the men that so aid them, in the long run. THE TRUE COURSE. Of defense for both, the Mayor arid Council, in our opinion, would have been this to have passed that moetinj over in silence and not have coiiis for ward to defend themselves then and there at all, certainly not Until after th3 resolutions were poss-jd on by th j meeting or they were - called on to ex plain by th-j cliainil in orsoim nv.i:nV?r of the party who called t'u ni eting. Why como half way to :njct a chatg that you declare an insult and untrue, and defend yourself before you are called on to do so ? It would bo bad policy in an individual, it is worse pol icy for a public official. With all due respect for our Mayor, and we are sure with feeling of per sonal kindness to him. we yet fe;i bound to tell hint that hs wvakncd his Cause when hep lid any attention to that "call" at that tim and when ho stepped forward by th3 wishes of his personal and immediate friends ho carno more than half way-t j meet a charge of his own friend's inventing, that as yet had no ofliVial stan ling. It had not been endorsed by that meet ing, it was not in a shape for him to handle unless he wishes to answer idle street gossip and the foolish speeches of street corner small beer politicians. Thero are enough of these on both sides we are sorry to say. The Herald liked his speech and agrees with many of his figures arid personally would like to see the" ave nues opened and gr.ded, but claims that then and there was not the time to make that defense. If the Mayor and President .n the Council think honestly that these af en Ues should be oiened (they have an undoubted right to think so and others to dissent) and wished to carry these measures, by far the better course would have been to let that meeting go on, and to have allowed them to pass the wildest ami most absurd resolutions they could. The more severe their strictures the wiMfr their figures the better for the Council part-. When tho meeting had made a shall we say ii, friend Cashing? aborignes of themselves and shown their animw. if they had any, then come forward in a calm, grave and i As it is, they have awakened an op- ; , . , . , -.11 , bonds to be issued without a long and bitter fight we are afraid. t the case as it stands. if i.i t-, cntlomcn. as if vou ' " f,. ...- , J had better drop this matter of the bonds at present, you are even. Xei til er party has the advantage today. In fact, "honors are easy" all round. If it was unwise to call a citizens meet ing, it was equally unwise for the friends of tho bonds to attend that meeting and try to defend them by the means they did. If the opponents of the bonds insult ed the Hon. Mayor and Council by the accidental wording of the "call," the Insult has been returned with interest by the action in regard to the chairman and the remarks of the Hon. President of the Council. If one of our citizens did make some unwise and ierhaps un merited remarks of a personal nature, he got as good as he sent, at the time and place, and certainly the party feel ing himself aggrieved had immensely the advantage in iunt of oratorical effect. If some very foolish things have been said altout the streets on one side, they have leeii more than matched on the other, and if tlie "call" itself, or any actions of the citizens implied a threat to the City Council, it was more than matched by the plain threat of the Hon. Mayor, lhat they must leware of how they worded their letition or the Council would flout it j to the winds. Thus far it is tit for tat ; butter for fat; kill my dog I'll kill yn?f cat. AN OPINION AS IS AN OFiNfON.- Both parties claim to have the opin ion of good lawyers on the validity of bonds issued, t at one of the lawyers depended on says his opinion was only what they term "street corner opin ions." ft was not bis paid legal opin ion, and gentlemen, it recur3 to us that nothing but the decision of the proper judge can really settle the right to is sue these bends, and although we have never read law, we can give you a com mon sense opinion. The charter throws three strong re-, strictions around the issuing of bonds at all by this city, 1st, that not over $2,000 shall be issued without a tote of the people; 2d, that all bonds hHll run ten years, and lastly, that not to exceed 20 per cent, of the taxable property Of the City shall ever be bond ed. This would show that it was the intention of the law makers to throw all the restrictions they could in the wav of bonding the city, and especially without a free vote of the ieople. As it is unusual for any city to allow the Mayor arxl Council alone the power to bond Uie city for any but a small stip ulated amount, perhaps, and it is very PvifVnt that if thev can bond us for $6,000 they can for $OT,Ot)0, iri our; opinion a court would dtide ega'ittst j the validity of these boCds, therefore, ; loys, better" take the advice of ibe? .
