Unpaid taxes and street improv-

A communication was also received from the
City Treasurer correcting statements made by
Mai. Bell the President of the School Board,
which is as follows
To the President and Members Of the City
Council
1 very much regret that the statement re-
ported us made at your last meeting by the
President OF the City School Board, is so entirely
inconsistent with the facts So uni st to myself
and discreditable to the city. that | feel it to
BE- my duty to notice it, and to give the facts
as they ATE.
The President Of the School Board says
IT have been compelled to have taxes collect
ed to paw the Lady school teachers 1t is not
my purpose, nor is it my right or privilege to
make public the private affairs OF any citizen,
but assert without the fear OF successful con-
tradiction, that the President of Tie School
Board, was no more instrumental in having the
tax referred to collected, than the smallest boy
in his school. II he was, let him produce the
evidence. The tax was collected solely by the
persistent effort made through this office.
1t was also stated that the lady teachers had
not been paid since November. Why then did
the President of the School Board take up the
warrants Of Feb. 3, 1876, and net the war
rants for November, 1875? Simply for the
reason that the Lady Teachers haze been paid
reqularlu and had no other warrants than
those OF February 3, lS76-all the others having
been paid.
| It was also stated that the lady teachers had
been compelled to Sell their warrants at from 10
to Is per cent. discount, eiyhty-dVe per cent.
of the entire amount allowed the teachers for
this scholastic year, haves Teen paid ia
| cash. [ know that the warrants lave
been used by the lady teachers dollar for dol
lar. How is it possible, then, that they have
been compelled 10 sell their warrants ut 10 to
Is per cent. discount ]? Can such statement
be justified in the light OF the above facts? |
call the upon the President of the School
| Board to produce single lady teacher who has
been compelled to sell her city warrant at
any discount whatever, during the entire school
! session.
have, as a public officer, extended to the
lady teachers every courtesy and kindness. l
have always told them never to sell their
warrants at any discount whatever; that i'll
such a contingency Wonld provide for them,
and have done so in several instances.
| can but regard the statement made by the
| President Of the School Board, as unkind and
unjust to myself aud injurious to the credit Of
the city.
know it is fashionable to discretlit the city
Finances, but it is only done by those whose
purposes are seryei. thereby, or who are will

THE IRON SIDE ENGINE.-The Staunton
| Iron Works and Steam Engine Company has
just turned ont its first Steam Engine. 1t is
splendid piece of Workmanship, and demon
strates that we have the skill and capacity here
in Staunton to compete successfully with the
large manufacturing establishments of the
North and Eas.. This engine is of a new de-
sign. 1t is twenty horse power, with all the
external machinery encased in walnut cover,
thus protecting it from damage by dust and
dirt. and the action of the weather. This i'm
proyement, which is pronounced by competent
i'll gcs to be one OF the most useful and much
needed, is tie design Of the Superintendent,
Mr.. G. w. Eylcr, and its first appearance has
occasionc1 such general satisfaction, that it
Will be adopted in future in connection with
the Engines turned out from this establish
ment. Another great improvement is the ar
rangemeut OF the waste steam pipe, by which
the water is heated, thus economizing fuel
The Engine was built for Capt. L. X. Menifec,
the Treasurer OF the Company, and is to lie
| used to run q Saw Mill in West Virginia. The
Superintendent is now constructing a portable
Engine on the same plan, only OF lighter
make. 1t is to be a twelve horse power, and in
addition to The improvements mentioned, will
be mounted Oh springs which will protect the
machinery from the damage incident 10
| transportation over rough roads.
| The flash and workmanship of these H.
gincs are subjects of favorable comment by all
practical machinists who have examined them,
and for durability and working capacity, they
will doubtless excel the products of the NORTH
ern manufactures, as special care has been
taken to secure the very best material. All
who contemplate buying Engines, would do
well to examine these, and especially would
we commend them to our home purchasers
Build up these home manufactures. and they
will build up the town.
