"Mr. Bowman , how are taxes coming
In on the now year ? "
"Well , wo have collected 2"iO so fat1. A
great many of the are special assess
ments that were paid for when the
work was performed , and the taxpayers
waul to get them off our books before
they lese or mislay their certificates. "
" \VliyarctliP.vontlio tax books if
they were paid ? " '
"Teat is a hard question , and It is
what I have been trying to find out for
Uio last three years. I will try and explain -
plain how they do u , but why is beyond
my ken. Suppose you own ten lots on
an improved street , and the city hti'l
them graded , paved , curbed and sew
ered last summer , and you paid for the
whole improvement when completed ,
don't you think that ought to end the
matter ? "
"Well , rather , it docs seem so. "
"No , sir , your troubles have just
begun. The city would hire a man and
cut the amount of your improvements
into fifths , making UOO entries and re
cord them against \ou with othoi in a
gigantic volume just as though they
were not paid 'or. and forty of these
items would not appear on our tax books
of 18S8. Now. if you are a careful busi
ness man and uudcistood the pro
gramme , you \\ould \ tear up forty pieces
ol paper and bring them down here and
got the charges oil the tax bookt. so
they would not appear as n lieu upon
vottr property , when no such lion ex
isted. In other words , \ou have to , in
order to clear the books , exchange a
good valid piece of paner that shows on
its face what it is intended for a treas
urer s lax receipt that never ought to
have been it&ucd. "
"Do they put them all through that
circumlocution whether paid or notV
"I think they do , unless they leave
thorn off by mistake. "
"llow can you tell when you adver
tise and hell in the fall whether or not
the special tax lias really been paid':1' '
"Wo cannot , and neither can the bid
ders ; therefore they will not sell , ex
cept in very few caws. "
'
"What is' the good of this roundabout
way of doing business. "
"No good , whatever , and there is the
expoiis-o of the vast amount of labor
putting them on the books and getting
them off again. The treasurer is paid
$7.50 per thousand for folding these pa
pers. Wo turn them over to the city
treasurer as cash. 1 don't know whether
there is any further ceremony wer-
formed. It i.s all tomfoolery. "
"Could not this be simplified in pome
way , to get rid of some of this hum-
bugV"
"Easily enough. Make a collector ,
by ordinance , of the city treasurer or
borne other city olliccr. Make him col
lect all ho can , every year , up to the 1st
day of September. Let him take these
lists we have here up to the city build-
inir , where they belong , and mark all
ho collects permanently paid , and cer
tify the delinquent only to the county
auditor , to bo placed on the tax books.
These volumes are intended for a city
record and a chock on the county treas
urer , to show what was collected by
him. but they have dumped them
all into his oltlcc , the very place
they ought not to bo. All he wants is
to have the delinquent specials put on
the county books correctly , out none
that nave been paid. The law never
intended it should all pass through his
hands. It requires , first , that they
shall bo paid when the work is done.
Second , if not so paid it may bo paid in
installments of fifths , but what is the
use of preparing these installments and
spreading them over page after page of
record when the taxpayer has paid up
in full and don't owe anything. There
are about $ i)7,000 ) of specials on the 1881
bookstand it may bo half paid now for
all we know "
"How is the stone pavement on
Broadway and Main street paid up that
was built four years agoV"
"Very well indeed , considering there
are seventeen injunctions against it
that were brought in December , 1880.
The government lias never paid their
portion and there are eleven other
properties that are neither paid , sold or
enjoined. So far as my observation
goes these injunctions have had no
effect in preventing others from paying
their taxes. I have no knowledge of
any effort by either party touring those
injunctions to trial. The treasurer has
had to keep his weather eye open
for two years , and not meddle with the
enjoined taxes for fear pf getting into
jail for contempt of court. Ho would
like to have them bottled in some way. "

An Arm Uronntl On" .
A very painful accident occurred on
Thursday evening at the meat market
of Conrad Langondorfer on South Main
street. Henry Ul.l , a young luuu cm-
ployed there , was feeding1 n eausnge
machine , when a string bccamo en
tangled in the cop-wheels. In attempt
ing to remove it , his hand was caught
and drawn into the machine , nearly to
the elbow , before the motor could bo
shut olT. When released , the arm was
found to bo in n terrible condition. The
fingers were mashed to a jolly , the
bones in the hand and wrist broken ,
and the llesh terribly lacerated. Ho
was taken to St. Bernard's hospital ,
where ho was attended by Drs. Lnccy
and Macrae. The condition of the pa
tient last evening was as comfortable as
could bo expected , and the surgeons ex-
prc'-.od a belief that the hand might bo
saved.
7 lie Council and
Before adjourning Thursday evening
the city council took tip the electric
light ordinances , and after rending the
Brush and llawkoyo ordinances a third
time , both were pimscd. The rates pro
vided by those ordinances is regarded
as equivale nt to gas at $1 per 1,000 feet.
The charters cover a period of twenty
years. The council then adjourned and
reconvened as a board of health. It
was ordered that the houses occupied
by the Carter and Klein families , near
the transfer , bo thoroughly fumigated
and disinfected before thu quarantine
is removed. These houses were occu
pied by the smallpox cases , and the
families hiue been removed from them.
This Mop is to bo taken to prevent any
possible contagion. It was also ordered
that certain alleys , against which com
plaints have been made , bo thoroughly
cleaned up and put in n p.-issiblo con
dition. The board then adjourned.
The two electric light ordinances
irns-ed In the council are very similar , in
fact , \\itli one exception they arc alike.
The llawkoyo company agrees to fur
nish the city ton lights of Hi-cmullo

Brush company agrees to light the city
building free ot charge. The rate

Men of fashion have curiously enough
abandoned the former methods of wear
ing hair on their faces. The mustache
pure and simple is the fashion , from
such old-timer.s as Leonard Jerome all
the way down to recent developments
like Berry Wall and Billy King. No
man who pretends to bo at all in the
swim wears the Hawing side whiskers to
which Dundreary gave his name , and
beards which were populn > 'i/.od by the
Prince of Wales u few years ago have
gone entirely out of fashion. No won-
dorfor the prince himself has abandoned
them , and he now wears his beard
pointed and clipped eloso to the
face. Boulangur has set the fash
ion for Europe in this respect , and the
crown prince of Great Britain is more
or less of an imitator of the famous
French upstart. Once in a while a man

perial iHustacho and side whiskers ap

was the Marquis do Louvillo. But com
binations of this sort tire not indorsed
by the loaders of fashion. The rule
which prevails is to wear a mustache
and a mustache only , iiml let it take the
course that nature designs.

C S. Montgomery A nniiilcip.il corpora
tion should not break faith with private or
incorporated investors. A consldeiahlo
amount of capital has been invested on up
per Farnam street on the strength of the
vote of the citi/ens locating the city hall on
Us present site. There is a second argument
in favor of the present location- is more
sightly and offers all thu necessary opportu
nities for erecting an imposing and massive
structure. 1 favor keeping nil our public
buildings together. The years' tune of one
individual would ho wasted in running from
one building to another. I favor the Far
nam street site.
fudge ( "ieorgo U. Iako t prefer the pres

Charles Offutt There are many reasons
why Jefferson square is the best site. They
ate too numerous to mention.
John \V. hylic I am not satisfied with
either , but as I nm a Fiirmun street property
owner , I shall vote for the present site. The
money already spent should not be wasted.
11 n. ttstabrook I don't see why the law-
icis should be interviewed on this subject.
Their opinions nru worth no mote
than those of other piofcssions. Of
couise 1 a in decidedly in fuvor
of Jefferson square. I consider that it was u
blunder to put the court house on the apex of
a hill , and 1 an1 opposed to n repetition of
that blunder In connection with the city hall.
Clinton X. 1'owcll If the court house was
located opposite Jefferson squme I woulu
favor the change. As it is locate.1 on Kigli-
iconth and Farnam 1 favor the present site.
It is the most convenient location.
C. U * . yimeral The Farnam street site is
the most convenient nnd desirable. It is
near the court house and one of the benefits
to ba donvcd will be the great saving of time
in going between the two buildings. The
present location Is a sightly one much more
so than Jefferson square. The people have
voted on the question once and rendered
their decision in favor of Farnam street , and
1 am opposed to a change now to witisfy per
sonal caprice. The $25.1)00 ) the board of edu
cation has invested in the foundation should
not be wasted.
William Simeral Complete the city hall
where it was liist located.
John F. llcdiek I prefer the Farnam
street site.
II. G. Atwoil I don't believe in locating
