Special 20 the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX Feb. 2s.-The city is
full OF excitement upon the question of
annexation, and every night meeting is
held in some parts of the suburbs to 6Is-
cuss the matter and to get an expression
upon the eIpedlency Of the project. Old
Dallas is represented well at these sub
urban gatherings, and every effort Is
mode TO crystalline the sentiment Of the
"outs" in favor of coming in. There are
nearly 100000 OF assessable
values Immediately adjacent to the
corporate limits of Dallas. The Dallas
man dreams Of the revenues which these
properties would pour into the Golfers Of
the city. At the prevailing rate OF taxa
ton in Dallas the desiI ed territory would
pay tribute of 10000 per amman. The
way the matter stands now the suburbs,
or rather East Dallas, has to pay only
$40, 900 taxes in addition to the state and
county tax, and they naturally wish to re
main as they are. The ungrateill CON-
munit7 of East Dallas proposes to con-
test the Three Forks in the acquisi-
come will be, none can. tell Dallas will
endeaVor to have candidates elected to
the Legislature who will pledge them
selves TO labor to secure by enactment
the extension Of the city's boundaries.
How the county will go on this question
is q mystery. The East Dallas, North
Dallas and South Dallas people claim
that they will receive the aid of the rural
population in resisting the aggressiveness
of the mother city.
