Growing ST. Louis.


The census bulletins show the num-
Der of manufacturing establishments IN
st. Louis increased from 1924 in 1880,
to 6. 14e in 1890; the number of hands
employed in them increased from Al
S25 in 1850, to $3.50 in 1890; the wages
paid per annum increased from ST.
TAB. $50 in 1880, to $50, 165. 342 in 1890; the
value of goods manufactured increased
from STA. 333, 375 in 1880, to S22S, TIA, SIT
in $780,
Commenting on this fact, the ST.
Louis Post-Dispatch says:
No other city has shown so remarkable an in
crease of wealth earning plant and population
in ten years, accompanied by no wild specula-
ton in real estate and building operations
Here are $1,000 new wage earners added to the
population in ten years-more than enough to
account for the large increase of new homes
visible on nearly every residence block and over
many a square mile of new residence districts
Many of these wage earnerS who have families
and need homes and will have them a few years
hence, have not been here long enough to
buy and build. But the effect of such
addition to the bread winning. home earning
capacity of city will be manifest in continued
city improvements for years to come. and
similar addition in the next ten years will prob
ably far more than double the improvements of
the last ten.
No man can study the past growth and the
unimproved resources of the country tributary
to ST. Louis without profound conviction that
this city has reached stage of growth surpass-
ing any former decade of her history in solidity
and momentum. The census bulletin shows
the earning capacity. the mighty and growing
industrial basis which supplies both the solidity
and momentum.

has the right to provide the depu-
section is a general statute, applying TO
every county in the State. ana to every
Assessor where such necessity arises.
The necessity is question of fact settled
on the proposition of inaction on the part
of the Board of Supervisors of any
county. The results of these sections
quoted are:
1. The deputies are provided for.
z. The salary is fixed at not exceeding
s. per day, to be paid out of the County
Treasury.
3. The term of employment is confined
to four months.
4. 1t is the duty of the Board of Super
vlsorS to allow a sufficient number of
deputies to complete the assessment
within the time required by law.
3. Upon failure of the Supervisors to
act, the State Board of Equalization may
do so.
6. 1t is a general law upon a special
subject (revenue), and applies to every
county in the State.
There is no doubt that the expenses re-
terred to are extraordinary expenses OF
1or by general law applicable to every
county in the State.
The contention that it increases the
compensation of the Assessor is errone-
Gus. If thirty deputies should be ap-
pointed, would the Assessor receive q
larger salary? Would anything paid to
these deputies go into his pocket? The
compensation referred to in Section of
Article XI. of the Constitution is the per-
Sonal compensation Of an officer for the
performance of his duties.
