Mr.. ZEcHER, of the Sixth ward, who
impetuously rushes forward in select
council to the charge that the INTELLI-
GENcER has been "unfair "and "un-
truthful" in its comments on the city
treasurer imbroglio, very cautiously
omits to point out wherein the untruth-
fulness of our statements has consisted.
Mr.. Zecher, being a member Of the
finance committee, naturally resents com.
ment on what we have conceived
to be the unfairness of that committee
to Mr.. Weichans in its manner of con-
ducting the investigation, and in its de-
claration of his embezzlement of moneys,
his accountability for which is matter
| of legal dispute. The committee now
claims to have discovered evidence that
his deficit is larger than at first re-
ported. However this may be, we have
never been able to see why the whole
matter was not one that could
have been left for audit and
settlement at the end of his
term, when the balance due from
him could have been judicially ascer'
tained and collected from his bondsmen,
if he failed to pay it. Perhaps Mr.
Zecher may be able to tell us what the
city mas gained by anticipating this set
! tlement with his custer and the accom-
panying excitement.

The Increased City Tax.

The Ner Era, with cnnmendable
frankncss. ascribes the marked and
alarming increase of city tax just order
ed by councils, to the proper cause and
acquits the present councils OF any re-
sponsibility for the condition of things
which rendered necessary the extra levy.
There uas, as the Era suggests, "a vide
difference of opinion concerning the
propriety of incurring certain portions
of the expenditures which led to this
disastrous result. The Ere might have
gone farther and added that it was only
incurred against the earnest and repeat
ed protests of the mayor. The 1NTLL-
LIGENCER supported those protestA
when it was not " idle to discuss the
manner in which much of this debt Wis
incurred.' We do not remember that
the Era joined in the protest; if it did
not actually te-echo the specious cry Of
public improvement" which was
made to cover a multitude Of abuses
against the law. We believed then, as
we believe now, that under the resolu-
tion of councils, passed January /, 1877,
page 6s, section p, Of the city ordi-
nances, "no debt or contract thereafter
incurred'' was g binding on the
city of Lancaster" which had not
been authorized 10y law and
ordinance and an appropriation
sufficient to pay the same been
previously made by councils;' though
"persons claiming unauthorized debts
or contracts may recover against
the person or persons illegally making
the same" Councils, however, has not
thought it worth while to test this ques-
ton; and since the debt is to be paid this
experience may serve as monumental
warning against future recognition of
the right of unauthorized contracts on
behalf of the city. 1t is fair to say that
the present councils, nearly a year ago,
recognized the time as at hand ito take a
new departure in the matter of street
improvements" 1t was only when one
branch of the city government became
Democratic that the true policy of muni-
cipal administration, ''no expenditures in
excess of appropriations and "no per-
manent debt for temporary improve
ments," could be made effective. 1t was,
we believe, in the year which saw Dem
ocratic common council and Democratic
street commissioner, for the first time
under the reapportioned city government,
that, for the first time since then, the eX-
penditures have been kept within the
appropriation, and the street department
has not left to its successor legacy of
unauthorized debt.

New Era.
The action of councils at their recent
meeting to increase the rate Of taxation
from seventy to ninety cents per hundred
dollars valuation has created both surprise
and alarm among taxpayers. 1t comes to
them with all the more force, in the first
place, because it was unexpected, and,
secondly, because in tho increase is such
an unusual one. An examination of the
resolution which passed councils, fixing
the new tax levy at nine mills on the dol
lar, reveals the true secret Of this %
per cent. increase in the rate of taxation
at single bound. Five mills are required
to pay interest and principal and state tax
on loans, two mills for general city pur-
poses, and tuo mills to pay drredrdges Of
street debts due Juno 1, 1880. These Ar
rearages, We regret to say, reach the very
large sum Of $40, 900. 1t is idle to discuss,
at this late day, the manner in which much
| of this debt was incurred There was wide
difference of opinion concerning the pro-
priety of mourning certain portions of it,
but it is to late to worry over that now.
Suffice it to say there is an overdue floating
debt hanging over the city Of go, 900 or
more. How to meet it was the question
that confronted councils. It was impossi-

part Of the bonded debt Of the city, as the
legal limit Of indebtedness has been
reached within a few thousand dollars.
1t would be impOlitic to leave the debt un
satisfied, as it would grow by delay. There
seems, therefore, to have been only one
other course open, and that was to levy !:
tax to pay off the debt at once. This is
the plan councils have adopted, and, as We
believe, wisely. Indeed, any other course
must have been of q temporizing and un.
satisfactory character. They have faced
the question boldly, and have at one stroke
concluded to get rid Ofthe burden at once
These are the facts in the case. and the
people ought to know them. The present
is, however, an excellent time for council.
to take new departure in the matter o
street improvements. If the necessar!
economy is practiced durin. the new fsca
year, the tax can be reduced to the old fg
ures in 1882, without detriment to any cs
sential city interest.

The Fish Market.

Since the commencement of Lent
there has been quite boom in the fish
market. Dealers in this city say their
sales are more than twice as large as they
were last week. For the first time this
season fresh shad were offered for sale,
the prices ranging from SO cents for very
little ones, to $1.25 for large ones. They
came from the south Atlantic. The other
varieties of fish on market to-day were
fresh herring, pike, haddock, salmon,
white fish, black bass perch, smeltz and
catfish, all of which sold at the usual
prices.
