Taxes and Penalties.

oNh NDRED THOUSAND YEAR MADE BY THE
DISTRICT By THE DELIAQUENCIEs OF PROPERTY
HOLDERS.
'The taxes are coming in rather slowly"
answered Collector cook to-day, to a ques-
ton by STAR reporter, considering the near
approach OF March, when another two per cent
will be added for penalty"
what Is the law now In relation to penalties?'
asked the reporter.
"Ine fiscal year commences in November; the
nrst nall OF tax payable in November; two per
cent penalty on the first day of December, and
IKE penalty on the first day Of each succeeding
month. Second half payable in May; two per
cent penalty on the first day Of June, and like
penalty on the first day OF each succeeding month";
TO what DO these penalties amount to for the
District"
About 5000 year Last year it was fully up
10 that figure and 1t has averaged that for the last
four or five years"
Then 1t is benefit to the District to hurry up
the taxpayers?"
NO., said the collector "1t is rather to the ben
eilI OF tne taxpayer TO pay promptly and save the
penalties which he is finally compelled to pay with
the full taxes"

The Bridge Question.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
Bridges are needed to connect the surrounding
country with the National Capital One is needed
at Georgetown to enable the farmers OF Virginia to
bring In their products as we'll as to relieve the
pubic generally from the 1mpostions OF the toll
bridge In like manner bridge is needed acoss the
Eastern branch at the termination OF PENNSYLVANIA
avenue east, TO connect with Maryland and facili-
tate business and travel In that region. Now /
submit that 1t Is but proper that the United States
government should provide. these necessary adj
luncts 10 Its national capital, especially when 1t
mas surplus OF one hundred and fifty million that
congress don't see how to get rid of, and can't or
dOn't stop accommodating. 1t was not. as stated by
senator southland ago, very creditable to the
na.lonal government that IL consented to have the
pubic buildings OF the capital built by dOnotionS
as they were; but there was some excuse for that
as the government at that time was very poor and
heaVlV In debt No such excuse can be offered
now.
But If this great government can't afford to build
the necessary bridges for its own capital then
suggest that the rule which prevails elsewhere
throughout the country be adopted 1t Is always
customary. whenever bridge is built across a
eacn 10 pay portion OF the expense. Then why
S.iouu not the great states OF Virginia and Mary
land bear part OF the expense OF these bridges?
1hey are for the benefit and convenience of their
citizens as much 1t Is for those OF the District IT,
therefore, Congress thinks that the general gov
eminent ought not To bear the whole expense then
let tnem make an appropriation for Onehar or two
tnlr1S as 1t may deem equitable, to be available
Whenever the adjoining states shall appropriate
the balance OF the amount required. Surely the
great states OF Virginia and Maryland ought not to

or the District ought to contribute to them then

Site for a New City Post Office.

WHAT DISTRICT OFFICIAL SAYS ABOUT IT.
The subject OF the erection Of building CEN
trally located for a city post Office and for the
transaction Of the District business, being dis
cussed this morning by some gentlemen, one OF
them, District official. who was present, stated
that he saw no reason why the District govern
ment business should be coupled with that Of
post Office. He added that the District OWLS
handsome and most central site for a post Office,
which the United States should purchase for that
purpose. 1t is the lot Immediately north OF the
Washington market-house, between 9TH and 9Th
streets and enclosed by an iron fence. This lot is
Is feet by $50 eet and contains feet Of ground,
ample enough for the purpose OF receiving and de-
nverlng the mails This ground could be sold to
the government for this purpose, and the purchase
money expended to buy ground and for the erection
or a suitable building for the District government
service AllwouId then be suited. This is the best
disposition that could be made OF this now rather
unsightly lot OF ground and its frog ponds.
MI Buell., marketnaster, was questioned by
STAR reporter as to his ideas about post Office
building on that lot. and his reply was that 1t
would not do, as the Secretary OF the Interior had
sounded that lot with view OF testing whether 1t
would admit OF foundation for such structure,
ana 1t was found that ii would not; that it was a
DottomleSS pit OF muck and mire.
