WHAT TAofAiANY AND ExTRAvAGANoE HAS
DONE.
In addition to the enormous cost of
living in the city, the people are paying
S168 900, 900 annually in interest and
taxes. The real estate of the city is
.mortgaged for 81 600, 900, 900, the inter-
est on which, at 7 per cent, foots up
St52, 000, 000 Add to this the enormous
taxes that have to be paid, and the sum
aggregates enormously. Tamma-
ny has done this for New York.
Ii Ia the most common thing in the
world for an improvement to be ordered
that costs so much as to compel the own
er TO put mortgage on the property to
pay it. Nine tenths of these improve
ments are unnecessary, and nine-tentbs
of the cost goes into the pockets of the
rings who run the politics of the city. |
have one friend who has a lot fifteen
feet wide, on an uptown street, who
was compelled to pay $3.50 for repaving
the street. The opposite fifteen feet
was taxed the same, making nearly
81, 500 for paving fifteen feet of a street.
The actual cost of the work was prob
ably $3.50. leaving the handsome bal
ance of 81 $50, TO be divided among the
thieves. And as these parties had the
whole street, you can see that they made
q very nice thing of it. And the worst
part of it is, that the street did not neod
repaying, and that the old one was bet
ter than the new one. This is only one
way ia which taxes are piled up-there
are as many ways of swindling, as there
are hairs on the swindler's heads. Prob
ably it will be some better hereafter, for
the last election disturbed the rings
somewhat, but at the best there will be
enough of it. The ignorant and vicious
vote of the city is so large, that scoun-
drelIy politicians have but little difficulty
in getting. the power to put their hands
in the pockets of the people. -:-

pect of revival till after the holidays.
The city is discouraged, particularly
when the reports of booming business
comes to us from all other parts. No
one can tell why it is SO, but it is. And
no one can pruphesy when a change
will come. PIETR0.
