the senator having the bill in charge came
to me and stated that if we would Withdraw
our opposition they would amend the bill 50
as to leave it Discretionary with the City
Council of the TaxiDgDistrict TO ratify or
reject 1t. Ny mercantile friend had gone,
and hunted up other friends; and after con-
sultation We agreed TO withdraw the obiec-
lions, and allow the bill TO pass with that
provisional amendment"

cape the bill made OF being approved by the
governor without this amendment attached"
mo; heard nothing OF that until 1 re-

Under the common impression that the
TaIing-District government was formed to
avoid, not evade, the debt, don't you think
We had better go on so, and leave the debt
settlement to the ty-three-and- a-third
commissioners appointed for that purpose"
81 don't think so. If we could agree to g
settlement on a basis of fifty cents on the
dollar, with three per cent. interest running
seven years, and six per cent. thereafter, be-
leve it would be better. But am opposed TO
the City Council rGtyying This blu, because in The
euent they do they virtually irdorse and become
responsible far eUery cent Of the old cits tndebt-
edaess before the courts hare decided iGhetter or
not zoe are responsible for H. In that epent the
boTdholders ,could pursue their suits IN the courts,
pAerein hey are demanding dollar for dollar,
fall back on this compromise, made solid by
the premature indorsement OF the Taxing
District Council. Understand me. / have
all confidence in the wisdom OF our present
city officers, and satisfied they will not
commit themselves to any settlement until
the bonGholders sign an obligation to with
draw all suits from the courts and agree to
accept and abide by this settlement at fifty
cents on the dollar, with three per cent. in
terest until 1890, and six per cent. interest
thereafter. Ii they refuse to do so We are
placed in this attitude: The bondholders al
ready have the thirty-three and one-third
per cent funding scheme to fall back on in
the event they fail, but should they succeed
then they can collect dollar for dollar, audit
would be better to compromise on nifty cents
= a thing for both parties"
"How do you take to the coupons being
good for taxes?"
81 prefer the settlement of the debt with
out the coupons being made receivable for
taxes, because it makes the city receive the
hrst $4,000 in coupons, and understanding
that our sanitary system, which has already
in its imperfect condition wrought SO much
good, is not yet complete, and knowing full
well that our principal streets are far from
being up to the demands of commerce, i
think the city stands in pressing need of
every cent that is levied for sanitary and
streets, to be devoted to the perfecting of
these two important departments of the city
government; and this should be particularly
taken into consideration when any effort is
made to settle with the bondholders."
Captain Hillman was thanked for the time
given the APPEAL man, and the latterre-
tired.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

10 inc ApPcfhAs
To the Editors ofithe Appeal:
l am an humble citizen-one of the class
who owns but little property, but just enough
to feel the amount OF taxes l hare TO pay,
whether / can or not, every year, and take
pleasure in thanking the APPEAL for its
well-directed efforts toward overturning the
catastrophe the bondholders are trying to
fasten upon this community. You make an
excellent point in support of your position
when you say that the members of the Legis-
lature that enacted the pending scheme of
enthrallment were not competent 10 entertain
a question not under consideration before
the people when they-were chosen to repre-
sent them, and you can, in the same spirit of
justice and fairness, say the same thing of the
members of the present Legislative Council
of the Taxing District. When they were
chosen to manage the city's affairs not
word was said about the manner of settling
the old city's debt, and therefore they, to
whom the Legislature, in the exuberance of
its generosity, referred the law for ratifca-
ton, have no right to entertain the ques ton
at all, as their action would not express the
sentiment of the citizens of the Taxing
District. 1t occurs to me that the citizens
should be the referees in the matter, or their
representatives elected with that object in
view. TAXPAYER.
