To ~ Editor OF The Appeal.
Among your "local paragraphs" Of yes
terday's issue, find this extraordinary
iten-extaordinary for its mis-statemeni
OF recorded facts.
"The city public school teacher have
not been paid for two months. II seems
that while tho city pays scven-eighths Of
the school tax, the country schools receive
seven-eighths OF the amount when II comes
to the allotment. Strange II Is, but never
theless true"
The dictator or writer OF that paragraph
could not have had the correct figures on
which TO base such statement, else he
never would have risked his reputation
on il.
The aggregate property valuations OF the
ten wards OF the city, which have taken
from the tax books (the only correct source
know OF for 1857 were q little under
$4,000, 900; the same for the eighteen dis
tricts was little under S7,OOO,OO0. Total
in round numbers say about 500, 0OO, 900.
Hence the people living in the districts
pay ON their property there seyenfwcnty-
sixths OF the taxes, or more than one
fourth. That alone is more than double
the amount your local intimates they pay.
And II You will add 10 the 5000, 900
country valuations at least $1,000, 900 OF
property within the city owned by about
a dozen well known property holders who
live out In the country II viii give Sl3,-

To make u in round fractions, the county

Tho street Paving question.

paving question, possibly the limit has not
yet been reached and one more may be
allowed. The writer WINS once citizen Of

rejoiocs IN the name Of I.ynchburg, where
they make some very good chewing To-
bacco, and where they have custom or
law M 10 paving somewhat rs follows
When II Is deemed necessary by the au-
thoritics that street should DO paved the
city does the work and asscascs one-third
tho cost 10 the property fronting ON each
side and pays the other third herself.
This seems a very equitable division Of the
burden, for while the city ut large should
pay one-third for the improvement of the
thorougilarc, II seems not unjust 10 ~
quire the owners 81 the properly fronting
ON the same to pay the other two.thirtls
In consideration Of the enhancement In the
value given their property thcmby. Now
the president 81 the City Council snys In
this mornings issue Of TuE ArPHAi, In re-
ply 90 q question looking 10 some
thing Of this kind. that Il will
not do, and cites the history
Of what occurred In connection with tho
Nicholson pavement, but Il Is conceded
on all sides that something must DO done,
and the readiness with which many
property owners have voluntarily sub.
scribcd largely toward the cost OF paving
streets on which they were Interested
shows that Col. Snowden's idea 81 direct
taxation has thus In a measure, been ac-
ceptcd by large portion of the COM
munity, and while there will be those who
will dissent from, and kick against, any.
thing which may he donc or proposed,
there must bo largo majority Of citizens
who would see tho rcasonahleness Of enact

burden was divided 10 cquilably between
the city and the owners oil property on the
streets thus improved. The estimated cost

yard, would bc about u per front foot for
the owner ON each side, and 81 Tor the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.--Mr. w. w.

William Wilson Corcoran was born In

many years mayor Of the town.
Mr.. Corcoran first engaged In the dry

OF the United States bank at Washington.
He then entered business NJ banker and
broker, in which he remained until 1854.
In 1910 he took the late George w. Riggs
into business with him. When the Mexi-
can war broke out the government had
great difficulty in inducing prominent
financiers to float its bonds. The firm of
Corcoran & Riggs thereupon offered TO
undertake the work, and by their
skin In accomplishing the task not
only laid the foundation of their
subsequent fortunes, but earned
Tor themselves high names in the financial
world. In 1895 Mr.. Corconn married the
daughter OF Commodore Morris. She died
iiye years later, leaving an only child,
louise, who in 1859 was married TO the
Hon. George Eustace, then member OF

ruptcd his plans with respect 20 this struc-
ture, but at is close be entered upon the
work with increased energy and trans

Another Of his large public gifts Is the
Louise Home, which be founded in mem
DRY OF his wife. Ii il intended as home
Tor aged women OF refinement and educa-
ton, who by revepcs OF fortune have been
reduced from aiiiucnce 10 poverty. This
building cost about 500, OOO and has an
endowment fund in addition OF about
sdO0,u0 Mr.. Corconn has also made
large and valuable gifts 10 the Washington
Orphan asylum, Columbia university and
many institutions In the south. He also
gave Sl0o, 600 10 the Church Of the Ascen-
son. Of this city. To the University OF

Cheaper Mileage.

The near future will evidently give the
public cheaper mileage tickets on most of
the railroads. The ties of the compact
made several months ago to maintain
rates have been cast off by several of the
roads. The Illinois Central has already
opened the ball, by putting on sale a
1,OO0-mile ticket at $25, subject to a re-
bate of SIS when the empty cover of the
ticket is returned by the original pur-
chaser. The Minnesota & Northwestern
not to be outdone, has signifed its inten-
ton of doing the same thing. Now comes
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul with
a notice to the association that it is it's
intention to go one better, and asks per-
mission to place 1,0C0-mile book tickets
on sale at a fiat rate of 500.
