THE WEST SIDE ASSOCIATION.
The Commissioners on the Riverside Park are
Told What to DO and How TO DO 1t.

The Commissioners the Riverside Pnrk are
Told What to DO and How to DO It.
The West Side Association held meeting few
evenings since, at which committee was appointed
to request the commissioners on the Riverside park
to proceed with the completion or their work as
rapidly as may be practicable.
The committee, in pursuance OF their instructions,
sent lengthy communication to the commissioners,
in which they requested them in the most urgent
manner to prosecute the work already begun.
Tney contended in 1t that the west side
must be preferred for building and rapid means Of
transit provided. Until this be done they believe
the land will remain vacant and unproductlve, and
they assert had been properly cared for ten years
ago It would be at present built up and populated.
Greai injustice they say Is suffered by the
property owners from the increased taxation, while
stance in 1855 The Twelfth ward was set
down by the Tax Commissioners at So, 49, $50
ana last year at s42, 1886 The west siders
contend tnat there Is nothing to justify this in
OF valuation; that, In fact the whole property
on the west side would not this year rent for as
much as the tax that is levied on 1t. The tax on
the property Is therefore equal to tax OF ten per
cent on improved real estate, and they claim tnat
when the street improvements which would tend
TO make the properly productive are needlessy de.
layed, the tax becomes great wrong and the bur-
den ntolerable IL Is evident, they say thar II the

plished, II might easily be- within three to five
years, the results would be most advantageous the
property owners To the growth Of the city, to the
real taxable value OF Its properly and TO the increase
Of Its population and business They think, on the
other hand that the present and past slow progress
and delay does not appear to be justified by any
sound controlling reason and WORKS disadvantage
and loss TO all the interests which 1t is the duty of
good administration OF the city government TO
Iect. The committee conclude their communication
TO the commissioners by reterating that they base
their requests for the diligent prosecution OF the
work upon considerations OF the public Interests ana
