y bill providing for Il semi-annual
payment Of tax has been passed by the
legislature. This bill was passed with
the emergency clause and will so into
effect at once. 1t is certainly very
questionable whether. under all the
circumstances, this is wise legislation.
The financial condition of a number
Of the counties in the state is such.
that legislation Of this nature cannot
result otherwise Than In siill greater
financial embarrassment to these c1un-
ties. Debts have been incurred by the
counties IN the basis Of the collection
nf the whole Years tax, not later than
June. aud this law will defer the col
lection If all or at least u great portion
Of the tax now unpaid. till next Octo-
Der aud this fact will Of necessity be
the source Of much annoyance TO the
counties. Tie Law will require nearly
double the work on the part of the
treasurer, IN collecting tax, that the
annual paymen, required and this ex-
ira expense will have to he met by the
tax payers. Whatever real merit the
bill may possess, 1t undoubtedly was
had policy To pass j, with the emergen-
cy clause. There was no immediate
demand for the enforcement Of this
law and the counties should have been
given time within which TO so adjust
their financial matters as to he pre-
pared 10 enforce this law without en-
jangering their credit. The House
took The most sensible view Of this
matter when they voted down the
emergency clause and they should have
stood 10y it regardless Of the fact that
the Senate Insisted upon passing the
emergency clause.

SANITARY CONTROL NEEDED.

That slaughtering is allowed to be conducted
In the closest proximity TO the city, and with
GU. sanitary control, is due entirely 10 the
lack of information on the part of our people
A business may be conducted on small scale
in the neighborhood Of a village, and very
properly be considered right and necessary:
yet the same business in the vicinity of
large city would be deemed an intoleable
nuisance.
There are some people in this community
who think that the slaughter-house nuisance
should now be abolished others. and perhaps
the majority. believe that Richmond must
soon have an abattoir but postpone the
consideration Of the subject, not having
q definite plan of relief to offer. The question
L. one that is in the thoughts of a great many
OF our people. and there is, perhaps. nothing
demanding public attention at this time that

AN ECONOMIC STANDPOINT.

Consider the question from an economic
atandpoint. An abattOir would result in
lessening the cost of handling stock. the
utilizing of blood and other parts now wasted
and this saving alone would largely help to
pay the running expenses of an abattor.
Discussing ths question of waste in the pres
emit method. or lack of method, in slaughter
ing, several butcher have said to me that they
wasted almost nothing that they fattenedhogs
in their blood hole" The fattening of hogs
on offal may be economy, but that custom
will not help to prejudice the buyers in our
Richmond market in favor Of butchers who
offer this meat for sale. Legislation which
will compel change of methods and the re-
moval OF the business from its present loca-
ton will not be a hardship 20 our butchers.
Our butchers own property that would SO
greatly appreciate in value 10y the removal of
the Strengthening nuisance that in the aggre-
gate this appreciation would amount to many
times the cost of an abattoir. Property owned
by Others than butchers. in the neighbOrhoOd
of slaughter-houses, is deprecated in value
and almost unstable. The removal of the
slaughter-houses would result in appreciation
In value amounting 90 hundreds of thousands
OF dollars, most important consideration 10
property owners The increase in taxable
values is also AN important consideration for
the city, county and State.

seeing powerful engine come puffiing up on
the tracks used by the cable cars, while the
noise brought to the windows many of the
residents OF that usually quiet street at that
hour OF the morning. The cause of the en-
gine's appearance was the fact that the street
railway company was engaged in placing
a new cable in place, rs the one
in use had become strained and drawn. 1t will
be remembered that when the other cable was

horses was needed to draw the cable, and this
