THE ALLEY SYSTEM.

It Has Reached High Degree Of Devsi-
opment In the City of Denver.
The alley as It obtains in most cities
is nuisance, but the alleys in Denver.
Col, are not only convenience, but
add much to the business capacity OF
that bustling town. There is one OF
these narrow passageways in the mid
die of nearly every block in the bust
ness section of the city. They run
through from one street to the next,
and are as well paved and looken after
as the main streets themselves. For
the man In hurry, who wishes to
make short cut, their convenience IS
apparent at a glance; while to the firm
with large shipping department their
value can not be over-estimated, for
goods can be received and delivered
in any quantity without blocking up
the front of the store. The benefit OF
this system is readily seen when a COM
parison is made with the large cities
throughout the country, where only
the business houses occupying corners
can utilize the side streets for shipping
purposes. Then, again, these alleys
answer another purpose which must
not be lost sight of. There are many
firms engaged in light manufacturing
which require central location and
yet have no use for store with large
show windows. This is especially true
of the jewelry trade which depends
entirely on custom orders and does NO
transient retail business. The in
creased rentals derived from having q
double row of buildings facing a thor
oughfare in the middle OF the block more
than makes up for the space lost on
account of the alley. If there is one
disadvantage about these alleys it is
the danger run by pedestrians. This IL
due to the reckless driving seen every
where in the west. 1t is nothing
strange to see wagon with a led horse
on each side come tearing through
these alleys, and as the passage is rath-
er narrow the pedestrian is lucky who
finds himself near doorway. Hereto
fore these alleys have been paved with
asphalt or macadam, but the use OF
brick is now being considered. The
first brick one has just been finished.
1t Is claimed to be better than asphalt
ard cheaper than macadam. II it
proves so, brick will probably be used
entirely in the future. - Mechanical

Some Taxation Figures

Thinking the following statement
would be interesting to the tax payers
/ have taken time to present these
items:
In lola city / took So statements
and go of them were non-taxable as
they did not exceed 500. The amount
they represent is $3.50. The 112
taxable statements amount TO S14295.
The exemption on those statements is
sIlS00, leaving S62495 taxable proper
ty in the city. The exemption on the
taxable and nOn-taXable statements
is S39550. In lola township L took 2l0
statements and 10 of them were nom
taxable, amounting to Sl1325. The
10 taxable statements amount to
S44S40 and the exemption from these
is Sl94O0 leaving S24940 taxable prop
erty. The total exemption on the
taxable and non-taXabIe statements
in the country is S30725. Now take
S30550 exemptions in the city and $50
rs in the country and we have S61275
exemption and this is only 60 per cent
of a low valuation. If it had been as
sessed without the 40 per cent of il
would be Sl02l25 exemptions, and if
tine SST435 taxable property had been
assessed without the 40 per cent off
we would have Sl457s5 taxable prop
erty. Add 10 that the S102l25 exemp-
tions and we would pay tax on S247S50
instead of SS7435. The difference
would be that our city tax would not
be more than two and one half cents
on the dollar instead of six cents as ii
now is. And the same theory will
