ouR NEW. CRY GOVERNMENT.


With but few exceptions The gentle.
men. who have been entrusted with
tile management Of our city affairs,
are new and uniried men. Not ons
Of those compose The present board OF
seleetmen, hare ever we believe. ser.
we'd in a public capacity. Whether
they will prove the better fitted on
fhut account, must be determined by
their conduct ia office That they
will receive much undersigned abuse,
and fail to satisfy the fault-fndlng and
wholesome potion of The community
is naturally 10 be expected, but that
they may to some extent cbneilia'e the
feelings and crafty the wishes OF the
public Is equally true. One great
big bear In the way Of administering
The ailtiirs Of the city vii be the neces-
si.y Of taxation--a difficulty more
startling than real one really which
the officers breads more than the
people.
It is not SO much the odionsness OF
taxation as that Of becoming unpopu-
lar by levyihg them, which makes it 50
abnoxiuus to the leves. II ever the
t,eol,le aave rs inass revolted against
ju,lirious and necessary tax, how
ever great. it was owing to the false le-
eney Of those whose duty it was to
pxact II and who by poude'ing to q
falser notion Of public favor have begot
Ell on The people disposition to qulb-
bic about heavy taxes.
That the people generally favor tile
principle of taxation is evidenced by
the fact that after SO frequent abuses
of the power by those in authority,
they have ever been willing TO submit
10 fresh imposiions That tho inju-
dicious and ever foolish expenditure Of
funds raised in this way should be-
get kind of honor Of taxes is nat
ural consequence Of the interest the
people feel in the matter, but it's no
reason why they should or will refuse
to be taxed. aud if necessary heavily
taxed for necessary works
Now we consider that The building
of the new wharf was $4,000 or
5000 dollars thrown away and that
the people have a right to complain,
but there nre other works to be made
that will call for further taxation.
We want more eisterns. especially
y
in the lower and back portions Of the
city. We want more street lamps, es-
peeially where we have no convenient
crossings. We want some new pave
menis, especially in the heart Of the
city. where they are most needed and
most lacking. We want a newmarket,
we want and ought to have Lafayette
street opened to the State House, &c,
&c.
Our only desire il, that the new
board Of selectmen may llaye the
courage to levy tax sufficient to car
ry out these measures, and that our
new officers may execute their trusts
with promptness and judgement.
