S1R:-In copy of your issue Of
the sth inst. kindly sent me by J. L.
Lacey of the Pueblo PepzA, / see the
following highly flattering comment.
Through the gross negligence of
our late clerk and recorder, there is
no town tax included in the tax as
sessment made by the county," etc.
etc. The law requires, that when the
county assessor shall have made his
assessment, he shall turn over to the
Irwin Clerk and Recorder his assess
ment roll or copy of it, upon which
the said town clerk shall extend the
amount to be collected b. the County
Treasurer, subject to the order of the
proper authorities of SAID town, for
the uses OF the town.. No such roll or
any copy Of it or any other assessment
roll was ever shown to me, nor did l
ever see it. There was a bill pre-
sented for payment, to the Irwin
Council for some work of that kind
done ay some outsider, who l remem-
Der said that DR.. Forhan had the list,
or that he had turned them over to
the Mayor, or words to that effect.
The salary paid the late clerk and
recorder, no matter how extravagant
it may have been, did not warrant his
hunting up every nincompoop who,
contrary to all law and every prece :
dent, may have been entrusted with
the extension of the town taxes upon
the county assessment rolls.
J. l.. Powers.
What prompted us to publish the
item above mentioned, was from the
remark by DR.. Forhan that the recor-
der had failed to send one resolution,
which had been passed upon by the
board, and which the recorder was
authorized to forward to the county
assessor. 1t appears that on July 18th
i resolution was passed levying ~
per cent. town tax and the recorder
authorized to send a copy of said
resolution as above mentioned, so
that the assessment could be made.
On August 18th a resolatIon was offered
to grant the recorder salary of SIS. 90
per month which was lost, since then
the recorder never attended meeting,
and letter has been found among
his papers that he had written to the
assessor containing the resolution
passed for taxes. Whether he forgot
to mail it or otherwise is what we
don't know, but we wish to say that
Is what prompted us to publish the
item above referred to. Again, there
is no provision 70 the town clerk to
receive any salary as he is supposed to
be man interested in the welfare
and prosperity of community.

see by your September edition that You have
committed an error as to the town Of I'll

I'll Paso county. TO us who live here this
is news The county seat is at Yslcta,
which is by far the oldest town in the state
of Texas, (see Thralls History OF
Texas having been settled by the
missionaries in the year A. u.
1910. The deeds to the church property In
this place are over $50 years old. ThetOwn
now contains about 5000 inhabitants. and
has from %, to $50 voters. will admit
that there have been towns established ginco
that time which have outgrown this, but we
want all the credit we are entitled to. The
town OF lsleta has "a large steam flour lug
mill, eight stores, two saloons, two
churches, Catholic aud Baptist, a new stone
courthouse and Jail made of the same
material. We also have the finest body of
farming land in the Rio Grande
valley with good irrigation bitches which
are open to all settlers of the town who do
thelr share OF the repairs necessary to its
preservation. The new Corners have tho
same rights with the old citizens. The
Texas Pacific and Southern Pacific rail.
roads both pass our town, and we have a
depot which is twelve miles from I'll Paso,
The time on the railroad is from fifteen to
twenty minutes. We have but about forty
American families, the rest being Mexicans,
but our town is one of the most peaceable
and quiet places in Texas. We do object,
however, to your taking our county seat
from US without notice. We raise grapes
and all kinds of fruits in abundance, and
what is known rs tho III Paso onion is
raised here to perfection.
