COMMERCIAL.
DALLAS, August 1.-THE following note speaks
for itself:
DALLAS, August l3-EpiToR HRgALp.-m
your commercial column this morning you
speak of the amount Of revenues colt cted, me
amount of salaries paid officials ana inquire as
To what uses this money is applied 40 you IN
tend to convey the idea that the Couhtlnen are
not working for the interests OF the ChyT Let
me say that every dollar is honestly eN pended,
hut the revenues are inadequate to the wants Of
the city. Why don't tho suburbs sur
rounding come under tho city govern
mcnt and assist in paying for Improvements,
for The owners OF property adjacent
TO the city make their liying by carrying on
business within the city limits, and should bear
their proportion of the expenses ana improve
ments. A TAxrAvBR.
Coming, as the above does, from one whu has
n right ~ speak on the suhj oct Il Is published.
In reply we re,ora,c that. eS cry citizon who IL
taxpayer has IN Interest and right to know
what is done with the $1,000 revenue collected
annually The HERALD did not assert that the
city officials were paid too much for their seryi-
res, but tho public would ike to know what
services they perform which tend to the bone
III and Advancement Of the business intercss of
Dallas. Neither has this paper asserted that tho
money w.s not honestly expended. hut 1t has
asserted that 1t might be expended In improvisg
thv sewers and streets, wnlch wouu hnd 10 me
convenience and health OF the public In genar'
al aud the business community In particular.
The Herald does claim that the revenues Oft
city might be expended IN q more Iudcious aud
beneficial way than they arc appropriated, AS
Tor bringing the suburbs under the city govern
ment, II Is question tho HERALD has not dis
cussed, but II those living outside OF the city
limits should receive no more benefits than those
who are east OF the line OF the Houston Il Texas
Central railroad now do they would be better better
OIL to remain rs they are for the probabilities
are they would never see police
man, have no water or gas pryi-
legcs, aud the only bCncilt they could possibly
derive would bo W pay taxes aud be compelled
TO keep their cows and other stock penncd up,
and be asked TO contribute money IN the way OF
city taxes 10 make temporary improvements In
u part of the city that should have permanent
structures, ~ least respectable III appearance.
IL would be the gtoSs-Sl injustice to those living
outside of the city limits To 10 forced 10 come
mo corporation that would collect revenues
from them without any corresponding benefits
The HERALD would like 10 see the suburbs come
under The corporate limits Of the city, but could
not advocate such measure unless correspond
ing benefits were offered In return. Whenever
the city officials shall eyinCc disposition to inn
prove tho city IN health and appearance, thoro
VIII be no opposition on the part Of those
residing In the suburbs to DO attached to Dallas
II Is well known that some OF the councilpon
are live, active members, and are using tlieir
utmost exeriions TO do all they can for the bone
tit OF tho material interests Of the city but 9TH
ers are not alike progressive, and improvements
iangnish In consequence. This condition OF af
1airs VIII not last forever, and each successive
election Will witness the elevation W ONCE mon
OF more progressive and liberal Views.
