The FRAME ADAMS back-tax bill has now
passed both HouseH, and requires only tho
signature Of the Governor to mako It a law.
when It went to the House, amendments
wero added which made It's terms applicable
not merely to Chicago but to all cities which
had been collecting taxes under Bill 800;
these amendments have now been concurrod
in By tho Senate. 80 far o. Chicago Is con-
cerncd, this is by all odds the most i'm
portant measure which has becn passed by
tho Legislature. It will enab1o tho re-asseas-
ment Of tho taxes successfully resisted In tho
courts upon the eamo property, md, unless
defeated by the courts, will save nearly
50, 900 900 to Chicago which would other
wiso havo boon lost to tho city. Tho re-
assessment aud collection Of these unpaid
taxes may DO made this summer.
To somo extent tho law may bo
resisted by those who originally fought the
tax but, as the bill provides that there can
bo no appeal from tho judgment Of tho
lower Court without deposit in the hands
Of the County Collector Of m amount Of
Of money equal to tho amount Of Judgment
and costs, 1t ia not likely ttat the delay will
be 80 groat as usual In Tho caae Of resisting
tax-levy. The collection Of this money
will cnablc tho city to pay Oh It's floating
Indebtedness, construct needed school,
houses, and provide such aowers as ought
to hayo been built from tho funds withheld.
It will be great blessing to this city II It
operates with tho efficiency expected Of 1t.

comparatively few In number and small In

the small army Of Pension Agents and

THE CITY FINANCES.

10 tho City Council on Monday evening haa
boon undoubtedly road by every citizen In
torested In tho progressive recuperasion Of
tho credit Of Chicago. Tho trouble Is, Of
course, tho old one: tho uncollcoted taxes
Of 1879 and 1874, and tho delay In tho pay
ment Of curront taxes. Tho Mayor spoaks
hopefully Of the bill now before the Legis-
latnre for tho collection Of tho. baqk. taxes Of
1873 aud ~, md thinks that II this bill be
passed aud be .judiclal1y sustained, tho
city will bo relieved Of all its embarrass-
ments. The Mayor points out, as IN illusssa-
ton Of tho happy oifocts Of the collection OF
these back taxes, TINT It would enable tho
city to purchase eight sitea for schools mud
pay for the erection Of thirteen school
buildings for which appropriations have
long since been made, and furnish aocom-
rnodations to many thousands Of children
now excluded tho schools. These np-
proprintlons have mover been expended,
tho money intended therefor mover having
been collected. This Is equally .ruc
Of other matters, There are $G0O, 600 appro-
printed ycars ago towards building tho Court
House. and It stands on tho books Of tho city
to tho credit Of that fund, The money, how
over, is not In tho Treasury, aud cannot DO
put there for that purpose until shoso back
lccted rcvonno wero collected, all the ont.
standing certificates representing cxpcnd'.
suroa OF past years could BE- takon up and
caucclcd, aud tho city would be no longer
embarrassed by IN accumulation OF overdue
