Ertension # The Corporate Limits as proposed by
the action of the Council on Monday last will pro
bably do away with the objections heretofore urged
by the suburbans, and induce most of them to ad.
vocate its adoption as speedily possible. The
Council do not design taxing the new comers with
the present debt of the city, bu to expend all the
revenue received of them, in improving their
streets, furnishing them light and water and giving
them such protection for their lives and property
as can be guaranteed by an efficient police. Nor il
it designed in the extension to take in the old fields
| the county All the friends OF the extension seem
to desire, is to take in such portion of the suburbs
as should rightly belong to the city-that portion
which now enjoys all the city benefts-and as an
| earnest that the extension is not sought merely
to find additional taxable subjects, they offer to
guarantee to the outsiders the expenditure of all
their taxes, for the next ten years come in their
immediate districts, thereby preventing the present
corporation from receiving any portion of the
| enue derived from them. AT the expiration of ten
years, most of the stocks now owned by the city,
| will be paying handsome dividends, so that when
the new partners come into the concern the city
debt will have been provided for, taxes will be re-
duced aud the city, extended, will be of the
handsoanest well as the most nourishing in tho
Union. fe.f
