A sufficient reply 10 all tLe foregoing ia that
tho people to 10 taxed to build tho sewer can
not a1rord to pay $4,000 ut this time for the
proposed improvement. Tlnes are too hard,
and money tuo scarce, aud tho property to be
asscsscd too ulssalnble, to Justify 50 lurgu IN nd
tlltloual burden. The Park Commissioners
offer to sell their 9foot scwer frou, thu Grand
boulevard to tho LUKE for 5000, and perhaps
would take 5000. A fuw thonsaul dollars
will extend thut sewer from State street, md
fur,iish ample, Drainage for number Of years

Tho assessment, II sprcad equally upon tho
estimated 0so acres between 'fhtrty.ntnth aud
Forty-eeventh streets, would largely exceed $40
per acIc, as that rats Of taxation would only
the tax-eatcfs, which would 10 moro thnn s8l
por acre. But II will be difficult to convince
those owning land on Thlrty-ntnth or Forsieth
street that they should contribute SA per arro
