The levy last year was 10 cents on the SlOL

sufficient 10 meet al tne expenses that are al
all likely to be provided for as last veal
about 81, 40 was expended on the streets
principally TOR grayeling. Less than one-halI
that amount will be needed for streets THU
year. In addition To the above heavy oXpen'
diluIe made during the year Just past, there
was several largo sums expended for whaI
mighty properly bstermed extraordinary ex'
penseS,'' among which the writer can call u
mind lomething like 800 or Judgement
costs, and attorneys fees, $210 for real estate
purchased, and SO or $40 for lamps an
posts. This year the amount that will be &c
ceived FROM license alone will amount lo
about $l,SO0, last Year 1t was one thousand
dollars less Than that amount, A very
reasonable estimate OF the revenues this year
from license, capitatioa tax, dog lax, and
fines, places the amount at s., 400. Then add
to this, al mill tax on real aud personal
property to the value Of $37O,547, would be
$I,4S2, and you have the handsome sum Of
$3.50, a much larger sum thaA has ever
been expended ly Council in one year.
Gentlemen OF Council, please ponder over
the above Ggpres before you fix the levy to-
morrow evening, and you will b.
convinced that to make u levy In excess OF
that men tioned will be but to compel your
constituents to pay money into the town
treasury that you will be unable
TO find any reasonable or legitimate
use for. Assuming that the estimates
OF receipts from other SOURCES than levy
upon the real aud per onal praperiy, Is not
too large, tasn a levy Of thirtysfiye cents or
the 500 valuation will swell the total re-
ceipts 10 $3,G97.
Can you bigger up" to your constituents
what probab 9 use you will find for even
that sum Of money?
With a forty ceut levy, g person living in
the cor. Grafton who is assessed on 800
worth OF properly will be called upon to pay
in State, county, school aud corporation
taxes, $3.50.

THE PROHIBITION QUESTION.

If the Legislature were to submit the prohl-
bition proposition to the people it would
probably be rejected, but as large and in
fucntial class of citizens have asked that
action be taken it is unquestionably the duty
of the Legislature to permit the State to de-
eide whether it shall or shall not continue the
series of experiments on the subject begun by
Kansas and Ohio. Until the question is set
tied thus the Legislature will be the recipient
of numerous memorials prepared by absti-
nence advocates and the subject will be kept
prominently in our view. The experience OF
Kansas and Ohio has proved that no legal
edict can enforce over an entire State the
prohibition Of the manufacture and the sale OF
liquor and the LIGHT is of the opinion that
the voters of Texas have knowledge sufficient
to enable them to act with discretion. When
we shall have definitely ascertained the judg-
ment of the majority we shall be no longer
vexed by agitation such as that now making.
