Our distinguished Representative,

honor to interview the gentleman. He
is satisfied that the University bill
will pass the House but fears its fate

preston that Rapides is asking too

would get up a memorial asking that
The appropriation for the Charity Hos
pita' be withheld,it would have a ben

With all due respect for his opinion l
beg leave to differ with him. I can

isiana would be influenced by the pal
try appropriation of four or five thou
sand dollars as to prevent them from
doing justice to the Parish of Rapides
in returning the State University back
10 its legitimate domicile. Speaking
of the Charity Hospital, l think it is
vital question with Rapides Parish
Alexandria is already a railroad town,
and bids fair in the near future to be
a great railroad centre, which will not
only bring people from every Parish
in this State but from all parts of the
world, and under the existing laws
each Parish must provide for its own
panpers, and consequently many poor
men will have to suffer or perhaps die
in the streets or become q burden
upon the charities of the citizens, aud
| do not think that the present Legis-
lature could make a better appropria-
ton than to provide means to complete
the building, fit it up and maintain it
in decent and economical manper.

more expensive Suits can be bought here if you
want them up as high as Twenty Dollars for

COUNTY TAXES.
Facts Cleaned from the Statement
of Treasurer Burton.

Facts Cleaned from the Statement
of Treasurer Burton.
County Treasurer Burton has collected
for the three months between March and
May 81, taxes amounting to 1929, 632. 65.
Of this amount only S14, 4S4.30 was delin-
quent, the balance being 1885 or current
taxes. The full amount of the 1885 tax
levy was $1.291, 403.60. The amount Of
taxes collected from Jan. until Feb. %,
(being principally personal property tax,
was 1921, 251.4S. Of the amount collected
from March 1 until May 81. $915, 1885
was mainly real estate tax, which makes
total of 81, 206 500, SO, leaving the amount
of 1885 tax unpaid June 1, 1886,
at $50, 0O3.77. The attachments on
real and personal property tax,
and the personal property tax
that is not collected because of removals,
ETC., will reduce the unpaid list to about
$4,000. During the five months that the
books have been in the county treasurer's
hands considerable over 80 per cent. of the
tax has been collected. MI. Burton has
made advances to the city and board of ed
ucation and paid cunning expenses of the
county out of the above. having now on
hand deposited in the various banks, &C
cording to the bonds given, $795, 239.21.
The business of the county treasurer's Office
has so much increased during the past
year that more room is necessary. Mr..
Burton suggests that he be given larger
room, at least during the busy months.

FAVOR THE ONTARIO PLAN.
Resolutions Adopted by the West
Side Citizens, Union.


At the w est Side Union last evening a
communication was read from the ST. Paul
Taxpayers association asking that dele
gate from the union be appointed to attend
a meeting of committee of the associa-
ton for the purpose of consulting in regard
to the taxes of 1885. The invitation was
accepted, and A. NJ. Lawton was APP
pointed as such delegate Mr.. Campbell
read, on behalf of the committee, the fol.
lowing preamble and resolutions, which
were adopted:
Whereas, The topography of st. Paul is of
such nature that the grading of streets ne
cessitates deep cuts and heavy fills at great
expense to the property owners; and
Whereas, Under the present system of pay
ing local improvement taxes, the whole
amount assessed becomes payable within
thirty days from the date of assessment, and
on failure to meet such payment when due
subjects the owner or owners thereof to a
penalty of is per cent. per annum; which tax
and interest becomes lien upon the prop
erty; and
Whereas, The effect of this system of pay
ment in too many cases, burdens the poor
man with a debt not of his own seeking, and
in many instances compels him to sacrifice
his home in order to pay such assessment,
and furthermore causes many property own
erS TO OBJECT TO really needed improvements,
thereby retarding the development of many
portions of our city; ane believing that IF
some system we're devised whereby the pay
ment of local improvement taxes could
be spread over a period of years
it would result in great benefit to the ma
jority of taxpayers, and materially advance
the development of our city. Therefore,
be it
Resolved, That we favor the Ontario plan
of paying local improvement taxes, which
provides that such taxes may be paid in iu-
stallments extending over period of years,
and SO modified as to meet the necessities of
our city: and, be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this preamble
and resolution be presented to the Dayton's
Bluff union, Summit Avenue Improvement
society, Seventh Ward union, Post Siding
union and other similar organizations in our
city, with request that they adopt the same
and unite with US in securing favorable ac-
ton thereon by the chamber of commerce of
the city of st. Paul, that proper steps may be
taken by that body to secure legislation in
regard to this matter during the coming ses-
sion of the state legislature.
