The Broken Private Banks
The committee appointed by the creditors
of the Warrenton banking house, called a
meeting Of the creditors for April 9TH to
hear the result of further negotiations be-
tween the committee and Rosenberger,
Spindle & Co. They report that the COM
mittee has, in addition to the property
heretofore assigned for their benefit, which
it thinks will realize from II to Is per
cent. "a proposition that will secure tract
of 400 acres of land neal Catlett Station in
Fauquier county, which is subject to lien
of 81 ,S75, together with a mortgage on Ohio
land for about $4,000, which is used to pay
off the lien Oh the above mentioned farm
and leave a clear title thereto; also two
notes of A. r. ROsenberger and wife
amounting to 81, 500 secured upon real es-
tate in New Market. Va. From all these
sources, including the trust to A. d. Payne,
it is believed that not less than thirty per
centum of your demands will be realized.
In place and stead of the foregoing propo-
sition it has been agreed that Rosenberger,
Spindle & Co., may at any time within
sixty days from April LIST pay Sc, 800 in
cash in full settlement of all demands
against them.'
A meeting Of the creditors was held at
Warrenton last week, at which it was said
the land at Catlett Station was not Of
sufficient value to give any relief, and at
which 1T was resolved to go on with the
prosecution of the bankers. The largest
depositor said he would not take less than
50 cents in the dollar for his claim.

THE CITY AFFAIRS.
THE TAX LEVY FOR 1928 AND ES
TTMATES FOR THAT YEAR.

The Council held it's regular meeting on
Tuesday night. The most important work
OF the session was the reception OF the re-
port of the Committee on Finance and the
adoption of the estimates for 1928. The
following is the Finance Committee s
report
TO the President and Members of the City Conn
eli:
Gentlemen The Committee on Finance
presents herewith an ordinance imposing tax
es for the year ending April 3Oth, 1898, which,
with one OF two exceptions is the same as the
present ordinance so far as it relates to sub
jects liable to taxation.
In view Of the very large increase in the
number of pupils attending our public schools
which necessitated the employment of three
additional teachers during the current schO-
lastic year, we recommend an appropriation
of 81, $50 90 for such schools, and a special ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the purchase Of
chemical and philosophical apparatus.
We are gratified to be able to report that the
finances of the city are in most excellent
condition. The estimated resources for the
next fiscal year, from subjects liable to taxa
ton, and on same rates as heretofore, are
larger than was ever known in the history OF
the city. The interest on the bonded debt has
at all times been promptly paid, and the
Sinking Fund is rapidly growing.
We recommend that the several Standing
Committees be required to keep their eXpen-
ditures within the limit of the appropriations
made and that all uneXpended balances
standing to the credit of any Committee as of
April 3Oth, 1892, Except such as apply to the
Public Schools and the Sinking FUND.- be con-
sidered as cancelled, and the Clerk of the
Council be directed to balance his books ac-
cordingly.
Below will be found a statement Of the es-
timated resources and appropriations for the
fiscal year ending April 3oth, 1898.

APPROPRIATIONS.

*In estimating resources above, we took as
a basis the land book of 1891; but used the
personal property book of 1890, in order to
eliminate all values derived from stock in
land companies that We're listed for 1891, but
have since become of little value.

dealers made the average profits assumed
above the consumer paid for his dollars

Tariff taxes grow until the consumer
finally paws them. The consumers tax
on cottons, in the case supposed, would
be 1913 per cent. rs more than the inn
porter's; his tax on woolens would be

porter's.
This is what tariff tax signifies to
the consumers of cotton and wooden
