IHE AalesAl GCftO \" P"POA "H"S'
infuencsand "in thepay" of the AaleSki
Company of last week, publishes the
names of the persons in Independent
School District of that town, who pay
taxes, and list of the property, its
value, and the total amount OF the tax
on the property, and omits the taxa
bic property and the property not
taxed belonging to the zalesN Com
pany.
The Echo does not tell its readers
that the amount of tax it gives is the
total amount for all purposes, but wants
the people to think that the amount is
for School House building purposes
alone, when the amount is for School
House building purposes and tor all
otherpurposes. The editor ofthe Echo
informs us that he will get pay forpub-
fishing the list, above spoken Of from
the zaleski. Company. Now, we think
the rich Company have taken extra
ordinary pains, just at this time, to pay
a man 500 for copying the list of tax
payers in that School District from
the tax duplicate and commanding the
Echo "boy" to publish the same, and
emitting to copy from the duplicate
the taxable and untaxable property of
the Zaleski Company, so as to mislead
those who are in favor of building a
respectable School House in the Dis
trict, and have them believe that the
figures in the Echo stand for School
House building purposes only.
The Zaleski Company pay no tax
on lots numbered from / to IA inclu-
sive-14 lots pay no tax on lots num-
bers II and 90 lots; pay no tax on
lots numbered from 22 to 27 inclusive
90 lots; pay no tax on lots numbered
80, 80, 33, 80, 48, 54, Sc, SO, go to 65
inclusive, 81 to SO inclusive-17 lots;
pay no tax on lots numbered from 80
to 1870 lots; pay no tax on lots
from 121 to I2E4 lots ;
pay no tax on lots numbered 131, 1873,
1876, 1877 to 143 inclusive, 145, 147, 149,
151, 155, 157, 1853 and 16O-18 lots
making a total of 81 lots. And upon
many of the above numbered lots stand
large and valuable buildings from
which the Zaleski Company are receiv-
ing enormous rents-rents nigh enough
to cause the heart of a poor laboring
man to sink within him-and curse the
unlucky day that dropped him down
in the town of English tyrran-
ny and yet this high priced English
Lord" who gallops from house to
house dressed in leather leggings, with
his high priced bills of rent, would
have the people think that the Com
pany Of whom esSsisathessmanager, is
bearing the burthen of the taxes For
shame, "Francis Jones" do not de-
ceive the Company that pay you a big
salary, by trying to make them believe
the increase Of the Zaleski Estate was
appropriated in this way Tell the
truth for once! We know it costs a
great deal to live in this country and
we are not surprised-nor would we
have the people surprised-when we
tell them that a large income is nee
essary to support one who lives as you
would wish to livel Not one cent of
tax, let it be remembered, is paid on
these lots by the rich and aristocratic
zaleski Company for School purposes
or for any other purpose.
In that part of zaleski called Oak
street are a number Of lots valued at
1884 each, upon which stand brick
houses that cost about $500 each, one
Of these houses and lots has recently
oeen sold to John KINNEY for 81 900
Ind upon which the rich Zaleski Com
oany pay a tax Of only S. Go 1, while
Mrs. Betsy Sands, who owns a house
Ind lot adjoining these same lots val
led at 81 900, and pays tax thereon
IF s42 16 6 for all purposes-not for
School purposes alone, as the Echo
wishes the people to think. |
Will & Co. of Zaleski, who own a
dry goods store only, which is valued
at s7,5O2, pay a tax Of $316 33 4 there
on, and sell less than $4,000 worth
Of goods year, while the zaleski
Furnace Company, who own q very
large dry goods store, and sell about
