COUNTY ROADS.
Mr.. j. w. b. Answers Mr.. Henry Otto on
the Subject and County Finances,
Ta "a, E3aor NJ "a, p.,;.E.r

To the Editor Of Tie Register.
WHEELING, W. Va, May 25.-My atten-
ton has been called to an article on the
subject of county roads and county fnan
ces, by Henry Otto, or whatever name it
may be, published May 10th. l must say l
am still pausing for an answer, in which you
have failed to answer in every respect. |
must say to you that l never said you paid
into the county treasury $40, ,227.SS which
you got. As an appropriation on rosd, the
amount OF taxes you paid in was the sixth
part OF the levy Of $lO5, 900 would be Sl1,-
500, therefore you got over and above tte
taxes you paid 81, 727 SS more than you paid
into the county treasury. You speak Of
no levy being made in the city for county
roads. You know the city has to keep
up her own streets and alleys
within her city Emits in.
independent Of that Of the country districts,
you say you pay the same amount of.county
and State taxes. That may be, but as | have
stated, you have got it all back as an sp-
preparation on roads, and S2.727.SS more
than you paid in. Now, sir, please tell me
how you pay one cent Of the appropriation
made for running the Courts and jail,
poor house and farm, and the poor OF the
county, and railroad bonds, knowing as you
do it takes $1,000 appropriation to run the
county over and above roads, in which your
proportion Of that to pay would be Sl4, l66,
in which your country districts pays not one
cent The wrong is,yo lands and improve
ments are not assessed high enough TO pay
your proportion Of the appropriation made
to run the county, therefore the city has to
be over-taxed to make up the deficiency.
You speak OF county organization. / tor
for one will freely grant it. And | do think,
looking to the interest OF the city, that the
seven city district members will vote for it,
fer by so doing they will save from FIVE to
seven thousand dollars per year, which
We can use on our streets and alleys
Your country districts in the last five years
have drawn out Of the county treasury s3,-
939 81 more than the taxes you paid into
the treasury. j. W. B.

against the further progress OF the trial.

the authorities, who suspended proceedings
