MIR. Benjamin. Babb,


the Front street cotton broker, and one OF
the pioneer citizens OF these bluffs-one who
is perfectly familiar with the trials and
vicissitudes the old government had 10 en-
counter, the causes which brought them
about, and the remedies embodied in the
new form of government inaugurated to
avert those difficulties in future, was asked
for his views on the question. Mr.. Babb
said: 81 am decidedly opposed to the Tax
ng-District government making any attempt
to assume or settle the old debt, or in any
other way having anything to do with it.
When it is settled-and l am as anxious as
any body to get rid of tit should be done
separate and apart from the present govern
ment A commission was delegated by the
Legislature, with authority to settle the
debt at thiriy-lhree and one-third per
cent, but the bondholders refused TO avail
themselves of the advantage of that PROPOSE
ton, except the amount of about tID0 hundred
dollars which leads me to the opinion that
they are not satisfied with that amount
Well, / am In favor OF giving them fifty cents
with three per cent. interest, but l want it
distinctly understood that the Taxing
District is to have nothing to do with il.
We feel-we know-that we owe them some
thing, and that 1t ought to be paid, and il
they will consent to reasonable COM
promise, the Legislature ought to provide
some way TO satisfy them. Every taxpayer
and every citizen ought TO oppose the present
bill, because it bears upon the face of
it an ingeniously conceived scheme to entrap
us into an assumption of the debt, and think
the present Legislative Council has no right
to entertain it, because they are not elected
for that purpose. The only duty devolving
upon them is the administration of the affairs
OF the Taxing District, without regard to any
outside Issues. | do not wish to be under
stood as wanting to evsde the debt, but as
Directing 10 the present effort to saddle it upon
our present government. l appreciate the
great benefits already derived from our
as yet incomplete sanitary system, and am
in favor of pushing it 10 nearer approach
to perfection; and L also appreciate the ne
cessity of paving more streets. After that is
done we can afford to be taxed TO pay the
old debt. At present we cannot stand the
burden OF taxation necessary to do what our
commercial necessities demand and pay the
debt-in word, don't want any thing TO do
with tn at bill

While there are go many matrimonial as

lauehable story about popular jeweler of

Lottery in the way of Kindness and few
days after had $4,000 shipped him in gold

mr.. >. $. Liyermore.

of the Livermore Foundry and Machine
Company, Adams street, thinks the quicker
the debt is settled the better it would
be for the city and all interested in is
commercial welfare. I'VE cannot pay the
face value of those bonds, though" said
Mr.. Livermore. "Our sanitary system is
yet incomplete, and we ought to have
more paved streets, and these must be
looked after first. After these are brought
nearer up to the demands of a healthy con-
dition and Of commerce, then We must
prepare to pay the debt, through a commits
sion, on the best terms that can be obtained
from the bondholders. We could pay at
fifty cents on the dollar, with six per cent
interest, but think fifty and four would be
more reasonable. The Taxing District gov
eminent must have nothing to do with it
under any circumstances. The property
assess ments, L think, are too low, and the
system demands reform. A more equal
system, raising tax values to a more reason
able proportion of actual values, of course,
weuld lessen the rate of taxation, and the
burden would be lighter on the masses"

of Williams & Co., the Second street lumber
dealers, said that he realized the benefits de-
rived from the change from the old to the
new form of government, particularly in the
sanitary and street Improvements, which
benefits must increase as these works ap-
proach nearer to completion. "And," con-
tinued Mr.. Jordan, 81 do not want to see
it interfered with. The new government
must have nothing to do with settling the
old debt. Some compromise should be agreed
upon, and the Legislature should devise the
way to meet it-say by a commission, with
special powers distinct from the city govern
ment. l believe, too. that if the system of
assessing property values for taxing pur-
poses was changed-if the assessments were
more equal-the rate of taxation would be
correspondingly lees and we would be the
better able to meet the responsibility"

mic, which has twice been postponed. 1t is

tomorrow. Those who know the managers
need no assurance that it will be an enjoya-
BILE affair. All can have a pleasant time.

can dance as much as they like. The pro-

fcient to entertain those who don't want 10

of the Chickassw Ironworks, one of the
pioneer manufactures of Memphis, which
was established in 1865, and himself resi-
dent of the city since 1857, was perfectly
familiar with the workings of the old gov
eminent, and had seen the effects of gov
eminent empowered to create debts. In the
new form of government he saw the effect of
the:absence of that power, which convinced
him that we are living under the grandest
government the world ever saw, and he
would never give his consent to any
change whatever. "Had the old gov.
ernment continued in existence" Mr..
Randle said, "ihe Chickasaw Iron
OF the past We never could have withstood
the burdens laid upon manufactures under
the old system. As for paying the old city
debt, / am opposed to saddlipg it upon the
Taxing District government. 1t has enough
to do to manage its own affairs. Our sani-
tary aystem is a good one, but it is not yet
complete, and it being the chief feature OF
the new government, should claim our first
attention. Next comes the street work
more of them should be paved, so that our
business can be transacted without encum-
boring it with disastrous transportation
charges We cannot pay that debt now.
We have to use our tax revenues for sanitary
work and street improvements trst, then
we may be able to pay if reasonable
compromise can be etfected. we never can
pay face value on those bonds. As to the
b isis of compromise, 1 stand now exactly
where did when the Flippin scheme was
inaugurated-ifty cents on the dollar with
four per cent. interest. / think the Taxing
District government should have nothing
whatever to do with it, but settlement must
be effected through commissions outside of
our present governmental existence. A com
mission with power to settle at the lowest
compromise that can be effected with the
bondholders is my idea about it, but not I'M
til the sanitary work and street improve
ments are accomplished. This is the main
idea. We must look after the welfare OF
the wives and children of the me-
chanlcs and employees who cannot afford to
90 away every summer. They claim our at
tentiOn first, else they will have to seek other
localities, where such protection is afforded,
and our manufacturing interests will be the
sufferers. / have watched this matter very
close, and sm thoroughly in accord with the
APPEAL in its position on the question, and
am satisfied you are working for the welfare
of the people and the material interests of
The city. 1 do not think there is uniform
rate OF assessment for taxation. l don't
think our system is correct. L believe 1t
could be improved upon 60 the appointment
of assessors better informed on the question
of actual relative values
