ABOUT CURRENCY EXPANSION.

"A NJ
VIC hear borrowers and Spectators talking
ing bitterly Of the stsingencJ Of the money
market. Similar complaints have been heard
ever since that commodity was invented. If
you ask these croakers what remedy they
propose for the relief Of the tightncss of cur
1eucy, they will answer: further utter
aace Of one or two hundred millions Of
grccnbacIs, or IN expansion Of that amount
OF bank issues. This they profess to think,
would alleviate the financial costivcness and
make every thing pleasant and comfortable.
There could be no greater delusion or fall
1acy. If money is scarce IN the West for
Legitimate business purposes, it is in couse-
quencc Of overtrnding, Of buying more than
We sell. The relief for it. is, economy: buy
lees and sell more, and money will soon be
plenty. The people Of the cities Of the West
have for the past year been indulging In car~
01yal Of ex11aSagance and prodisauty. All

Mr.. LoCKE:-At the request of the
Trustees OF Fin'lay, I beg leave to
present few facts to the public in
regard TO the present administration
of that body.
1t has been almost daily COM
Iplaint that more was not done for the
! town than had been; that the streets
and alleys had not been more fre.
Iqucntly cleansed; and that this or that
Improvement was left unfinished, or
not undertaken at all.
That these things were true was n
source of trouble to none more, if as
much than TO the trustees themselves;
but they have been powerless to act.
BY Il law of late Legislature n tax
OF one half mill is all that we are al
lowed to levy for Improvements, and
a half mill for back indebtedness
no new debts to be contracted. For
some reason the assessment for in
'debtness was last year omitted, leav-
ing us this year only the bare half
mill, or about $500. Eight hundred
dollars, an amount which, when you
have taken from il the salaries Of reg
ular officers (Councilmen get no pay,
leaves balance in the Treasury so
small that little or nothing could be
done. And we feel assured that if
you will take an account of what has
been accomplished, and the amount
we had to do it with, you will be sur
prised that so much has been done
for so little money.
There is at present very urgent
necessity for ut least two hundred
feet of Hose-in fact your Fire En-
gines are almost useless without
them. Yet. although this was the
Unanimous feeling at the last Council
meeting, yet we were powerless; they
would cost $500; but we have no
money, and are forbidden to make
debts, consequently we can only lay
this matter before you and you can
decide whether this machinery OF
safety shall be left in its present con
dition, or whether you will provide
for it by subscription.
We also wish to call public atten-
ton to the necessity OF petitioning
the Legislature for a repeal of the
law allowing taxation of only halt
mill. 1t is impossible to keep your
town cseanly and in course Of i'm
lprovement on so small an amount
You can get Councils to work for no.
thing as we do, but you cannot expect
Marshals, etc, to do so. Their sal.
aries must be paid. You want new
cutters lard, bitches dug, streets KEEP
clean, roads in order, DC, and the
Ipittanca you give into the Treasury
will not do it, Do not complain ther
of any Trustees who canno remode
\ your town once year on $500.
On behalf Of Trustees,
a. LANGWORTHY.
