Mr. Lymus wallace.

the colored member of the Legislative Coun-
Gil, had given the matter much considera-
ton, and had arrived at the conclusion that
the act of the Legislature we are asked to
indorse will not answer the purpose 81 am
in favor of letting the old debt alene for the
present, because / do not believe the people
can stand the high rate of taxation neces-
sary to settle it at any compromise and at
the same time carry on our sanitary work
and pave our streets-and this must be done
first. ! do not wish to repqdiate the debt,
but at the proper time, at no very distant
day perhaps, l am ready TO listen to a prop
osition of compromise. L have not made up
my mind as TO whether the Taxing District
government ought even TO assume the debt
on the basis of a compromise. To me it is
dangerous question, and should be well con-
sidered before any action of that character
is taken. / think the debt ought to be set-
tied, when it is dene, in such a way as to be
final, and will favor no other measure. We
must make bargain we can stand by, and
the bondholder mnst be held to his part of
the contract entered into when a compro-
mise is agreed upon" Mr.. Wallace's manner
of giving his views showed conclusively that
he will do nothing until he is thoroughly
advised as to the benefits TO be derived by
the city and the people.

MIR. X. c. Graves.

Mr.. Graves was found at his new Office on
Front street, and at first thought it unneces-

pressed by the reporter, gracefully yielded.
He does not approve of the bill passed by
the Legislature; it is too complicated.
Whatever settlement we make / went to be
permanent, and whatever. bond we give /
want to be good one. L don't want to be-
come the victim of any sharp tricks. /
want to settle the debt on the mort favorable
terms that can be agreed upon as fair basis.
We must meet the bondholder and have a
social, common-sense talk with him, and !
don't think there will be any trouble in ar
irving at a compromise that will be satisfac-
tory to both the bondholder and the citizen.
l want to get the matter out of the courts
and let us settle it outside, so that whatever
up my mind as to the rate of interest
We ought to pay, but think that the
graded system should be adopted
low rate at first and gradually in
creasing as our ability to pay increases. be-
lieve that the beneficial results from the final
settlement will soon enable our people to
pay any reasonable rate of interest / want
to commence paying as soon as an agreement
has been reached, bat don't want our san
itary work neglected, and the street paving
must be proceeded with. don't believe that
a satisf actory compromise with a low rate of
interest to begin with will materially affect
our internal work. / am in favor of no
scheme looking to reputation, or putting off
the payment of the debt to a too distant
period. / don't want the Taxing-District
government to have anything whatever to do
with the settlement. A liquidating board,
created by the Legislature, from whence the
Taxing District government derives all its
powers and authority, should have full and
sole control of the matter. Any action OF
our present city government, either sanction
ing or indorsing a compromise, would be
dangerous, since it might possibly open a
way for the mandamus process, which would
be ruinous and fatal. This government was
established on the pay-as-you-go principle,
and believe in rigidly sdhering TO it in ali
our transactions. 1t must not be allowed TO
levy any taxes whatever, and certainly it
should contract no debts"

Major Mike Burke was present during the
conversation with President Hadden, with
whom he concurred in the general features
OF the unsatisfactory character of the act OF
the Legislature-chief of which was that be
saw in it no positive assurance that its adop-
ton would result in final settlement of the
debt. He did not regar the bill as particu-
larly dangerous to the Taxing District, and
that if a settlement could be effected without
the aid of that measure he saw no objection
to the bonds being issued by the Taxing
District government, the State Legislature
providing by special enactment the means
for paying the principal and interest. He
favored no change in the charter of the pres
ent government-wanted no powers granted
to levy taxes, make debts. Major Burke
conceded with President Hadden IN nearly
all he said on the subject, the chief excep-
ton being as to the present tax assessments
which he considered relatively the same as
several years ago, when actual property
values were proportion ately greater than at
present. The Major alec differed in the
amount of debt supposed to be owing, which
he thought under any reasonable compro-
mise would not reach above 81 500 900.
Major Burke was positive in his opposition
to any measure tainted with an attempt at
reputation. He was anxious to settle the
debt at the earliest possible mo-
ment, confident of immediate bene-
fits to be derived from getting the
matter out of the way. He was confident
that this community was fully able to bear
the extra burden of taxation necessary to pay
interest and principal, at the same time con-
tinue the sanitary work and all necessary
street improvements. He objected to the
coupon feature, but feared no. serious results
from the courts should the Taxing District
assume the payment of the debt at any COM
promise that might be agreed upon. He
favored graded interest, and thought that
as the payment progressed heavier rate of
interest could easily be met. He concurred
with President MADDEN on. this question.
