New Orleans Republican., 1873-08-06
PARTIAL1TY IN COLLECTING THE
REVENUE

The city Of New Orleans employs and
pays a much higher salary than gentle
men OF their ability can command in
other stations Of life seven Administrators
to look after the public business. Their
duties are chiefly to collect the taxes. and
apply the proceeds to keeping the streets,
sidewalks. bridges. ETC., in good repair.
For this they are paid. and if they fall
short Of their duties they are guilty to that
extent of shirking. 1t will be seen that
the primary object Of their employment is
to keep the city in a passable condition.
1t is. therefore. their first duty to collect
the taxes promptly, contract and pay for
all needed repairs, and last Of all to pay
themselves. But they have, so far proved
themselves unfaithful servants. They
have made only partial collection OF the
revenue; thus making few feel all the
burdens Of the government; they have
neglected for reasons of a political nature
tc enforce the prompt collection of IL
censes, and there are more than fourteen
thousand unpaid tax bills, the largest
number We have ever before seen. Suits
for the collection of licenses which ought
to have been filed in March are not filed
yet; streets that have been out Of re-
New Orleans Republican., 1873-08-06

PAIR Tor year Or more are now worse
than ever; few willing taxpayers have
borne the heat and burden of the day
fourteen thousand have either refuse d OF
neglected to pay cent.
We shall be told that the delinquents
are all poor but honest people, who feel the
preston of radical rule, and deal Of
that kind of fustian. Eu. the list shows
that their properties average several thou
sand dollars in value. Some sentimen-
talist viii come weeping around in.the in
terest of some poor widows and orphans,
who are about to be turned cut because
they can not raise few dollars to redeem
their little homes.eads. But the names
actually given show there are very Few
widows and orphans among the delinquent
taxpayers. When. therefore. our city
public servants relax their efforts and
pause in their work, because they think
the property holder unable to pay. they
put their hands in The pockets Of those
who do. We can see 10 difference be-
tween letting reluctant taxpayer with
hold his dues from the treasury, and per-
mitting a dishonest official to put his
hands in and help himself. 1t is the duty
Of all to pay. and the Administrators are
each paid SIX thousand dollars I. year to
make those do so who are unwilling
Heretofore they have collected about
enough TO pay their own salaries. but
have nothing to spend on the streets.
1t uatters not by what name you cali
such official misconduct, it does not salts
fy the people. especially these who have
paid their licenses long ago. They know
that twc-thirds Of the burdens tha: afiiict
the city and State are ascribable to this
miserable habit Of Sinking responsibility
by the taxpayer and OF duty by the sleek
and overpaid official The people are
heartily tired Of well paid crew who re-
fuse to work the ship.
