TIC Fte,c Of T0op0yea'-Some Pertinent
Inquiries.

TIC Fte,p Of Ta;opayea-Some Pertinent
Inquiries.
To the Editor of the Globe.
In the papers of Tuesday and Wednesday
morning [ noticed reports of the proceed
ings of the board Of trade on the subject of
taxation and narrow gauge railroads. First,
The honorable body were going to try and re-
duce taxes SO that the overburde ned taxpayer
would only be assessed one and half cent,
IN place of three, and this by reducing
salaries. Very well, If the city officers are
being overpaid, or the city is in any wav
squandering money, it is we'll that the matter
be investigated and remedied at once. II
such is the cage what have our city fathers
been doing for the last four years? / saw
remedy the evil at once-if it exists. Now,
Nh Editor, not being far seeing on ough to
discover just how the great reduction is to be
made, unless by increasing the valuation,
we would suggest to the honorable board of
trade the proptiety Of detailed report
showing how we are to be relieved of this
one and half per cent. which we have been
paying to run the city, and which the board
propose to save in some unknown way.
Ii seems strange that the honorable board
mas not extended it's sympathizing influence
ere th's toward the oyer-burdened Taxpayers
II your correspondent has not been misin-
formed respecting our Indebtedness, we are
at present paying interest on bonded debt
IN the neighborhood of one and half
million dellars-interest amounting to up-
wards OF hundred thousand dollars annu-
ally. This, of course must be paid-I mean
the interest without any reduction of the
original debt. The city police must be paid
living wages--so must all Of our first class
employees. Now, if we can dispense with
our street lamps and snuff out our lights,
and stop all street improvements, and per-
chance curtail school expenses by getting
cheap teachers, we may possibly curtal.
No. Mr. Editor, if l am not very much out
of the way, predict that this pretense of
the reduction of expenses never would have
been brought up had not the project of bond
ing the city for $3.50, 900 for railroads inter
ested some of the members of the
honorable board. The inconsistency
of one morning grooming under
the lash of taxation, and in less
than forty-eight hours recommending the
bonded debt to be increased $25OOOO, which
VIII increase the yearly taxes $4,000 at
per cent. Why not subscribe il they are 80
anxious to get an additional road-not in
crease the already burdensome taxation of
the laboring classes and struggling business
men by Increasing the interest bearing debt.
If we would take up our mortgages on our
homesteads and learn to pay for garments
before wearing we, as a tax paying people,
would be less predisposed to follow in the
wake of Chicago and places too numer-
GUS to mention. TAX Pawn

Last Night Of Streets Of Nsm FORK.

The Metropolitan company appeared in
f'Streets of New York; last night for the
last time. The audience was large and
greeted the favorite members of the troupe
most cordially. Notwithstanding other al
fractions the Metropolitan has steadily held
it's audiences during the production of the
"Streets of New York. and gained rather
than lost friends and patrons. Messrs
Murray 4 Goodwin, by their enterprise and
pluck, have demonstrated their right to the
very best of patronage, and the GLOBE re-
ioices at their continued success.
Tonight the friends of Miss Garland will
have the opportunity to see this excellent
and talented little lady in g new role, and
one entirely different from anything she has
attempted in this city. The play of Camille
has been in rehearsal for several days, and
will be played this evening for the first time.
