rs THE VALUE OF CITY PROPERTY
THIS YEAR.

The City Assessors Make Their Report, and
the Council Leviss Tax of $40 on the
&1,OOO--Other Information.
The city council met Monday after
noon and heard the report of the city
tax assessors
They assessed the value of the taxable
property of the city at 81, 1926, s15. of
] which 81 ,094, $50 is owned by whites and
$32, 035 by negroes.
This shows decrease in the value of
city property of $4,000 since last year.
when the total assess ments footed up
81, 173, 1896. That year the property
owned by whites was assessed at 81, 143.-
7O3,66, and that owned by negroes at
500, 712.00
The council, after some discussion,
fixed the tax rate for city purposes at
SO on the $1,000, which, after allowing
$4,000 for decrease in the amount of
taxable property likely to be caused by
over assessment and the assessment of
non-taxable property will, bring in rev.
enue of Sll, 100. OF this amount IS, 900
will go to pay old debts of The city
81, 800 of which is due the school board
81, 900 will pay water rent in January
next and the remainder will pay the
running expenses of the city till the
first of next year.
The tax for both city and school pur-
poses will not exceed S1150 on the
$1,000. II will take about $4,000 to pay
the expenses of the school board, but as
they will get about 81 800 from the state,
81 900 from matriculation fees and
balance of $500 due them by the city,
a levy of S1.50 on the 81, 900 will make
that amount ToI them.

A coon TICKET WANTED.

A GOOD TICKET WANTED.
1t Is difficult to tell just what has hap,
pened in the town agents Office and just
how 1t has happened, but 1t ia not at all
difficult to see what the present situation
demands of all interested in good, honest,
economical government. Their duty is to
vote at the next election in such way as
to clean out all the gangs that have any
hold in local government or that are
scheming to get hold. 1t is to be
hoped that some party will nomi-
nate a ticket that will enable the
good citizens to know that It's election
will be good thing. We believe there is
general disposition to vote for such a
ticket, and we are glad to see that both
our Democratic and Republican newspaper
neighbors want to see the right thing
done. Political psrtisanship has no proper
place in local government. What Is want.
ed and needed is an honest regard for the
business interests of the town and city.
There have been citizens movements in
New Haven that have amounted to some
thing. The time is ripe for another. The
voters are doing good deal of thinking,
and they have no confidence in the present
order of things. We believe that if any of
those who do the nominating give them a
chance they will surprise the gangs.
