Taxes.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Much has been published in oir city papers in regard to our present high taxes. they being twoper cent. on each one hundred dollars of valuation by the assessors, produc. ing gross amount of nearly one million of dollars this year ($94o, ,OOo). Is it necessary to raise so large a sum to carry our city and town government and pay the State tax ? There must be great extravaganza somewhere and the party in power is responsible for 1t. There is great need of civil service reform in our city and town affairs. The city limits generally extend to the town boundaries, and why must we have two expensive govern nents to manage the same territory? Let reform and retrenchment be the order of the day and let committee of intelligent and responsible citizens, com posed of both parties, take the matter in hand and if possible bring about reform. Through a thorough exposition of ings and by newspaper publications make every citizen acquainted with the facts, so that all can act understandingly, and let us find out if it is possible in the future to have OFT public expenditures managed with the thrift and economy that are an absolute ne- cessity with the private individual High taxes and public extravagance depress real estate; prevent building houses to rent-prevent increase of population and produce kind of paralysis of prosperity, as in Elizabeth and Newark, New Jersey. During the civil war there was an excuse for taxes. There can be no valid excuse for it now. Taxes are higher now than during the war.
