Taxing abuttiny Property.

To the Editor Of The EVENING STAR:
SIN: In the STAR | see the suggestion from Major
Raymond that there Is talk "Of assessing part OF
the cost Of street improvements against the prop
eTty benefited" and I think there was such
suggestion in the Engineers report as published
Last summer. II such plan should be adopted
then those whose streets have been improved out
Of the general fund alone since 1874 should be as
SesSed q Ike amount; otherwise IL would De very
unjust. TwO-thiris OF tue cost OF all the wood
pavements in the northwest were paid out OF the
general fund originally. ami the whole cost OF the
thirty or more miles OF asphalt paVementS since
Itid To replace those wood and rough stone pave
IueGts aas also been pad out OF the general fund
Thus we of last Washington. who cannot get even
graveled rOtdways. sidewalks or sewers, have
heped pay for two sets OF paveents In the favored
northwest, while We got little or none. IL would
be the grOssest injustice now to compel Us to pay
q special tax ON what we may he eater get, I'M
I-ss thOse who already have them are made to do
the same, more especially as the latter have had
the benent OF their improvements all these years,
while We have been Flooding through dust and
mud Even II they should be assessed their pro-
portion now. they Will have the Use OF our money
ana theirs also during all these years. In any
event. all should De treated alike. ". c. ID.
