IMPROVEMENT OF STREETS IN THE
NEW DISTRICT.

Tie Finance Committee did wise thing
in anotting $4,000 to the opening and
grading OF streets in the newly annexed
district. The only thing connected with
the matter that suggests regret is the
fact that the committee could not see its
way clear to appropriating more. But
the foolish. criminal waste Of $l5OOOOO
on the new City Hall. when 100000 would
have built all the hall that the city need
ed. added TO the gradual but immense in
crease OF expenditures in all departments
OF the city's government within the past
ten years. has crippled her to such an
extent that we suppose the committee
felt constrained to limit the appropria-
ton TO The sum named. The committee
is a most excellent one. and the people
can rely upon IL that it has done the
best under the circumstances that was
possible. The prompt action Of the Coun-
ell in confirming the committees action
is most gratifying Now let the Board
Of Aldermen dispose of tle matter in the
same way, and it will be acting in that
broad disposition TO push the general
interests of the city along that is ex-
pected from 1t by the people.
The reasons are overwhelming why the
city should do all in the district that
is necessary to encourage the erection of
residences there. Many persons wish TO
build there. but they will not do it until
the necessary improvements are made.
The houses that will go up there are
costly. and thus add infinitely to the value
Of adjacent property as soon as they are
erected. Consequently the city Will secure
an immense and immediate return in
increased taxable values for every dollar
she expends.
The new district can, therefore, for a
comparatively small sum. be made a
most valuable addition TO the city. But
there is another side to this picture.
Many owners Of property within the ter
ritory opposed annexation, preferring 10
remain in the county. to pay it's much
smaller taxes. We happen TO know that
It was touch and go matter TO get the
annexation act through the Legislature,
tndN us DdShdbc WIS Sttuitu Only
by representations that il would result
In improvements around General Lees
monument, that would end the scandal
OF its remaining in an old field. If we
disappoint this expectation. we shall GER
tainly find the next Legislature inclined
TO lend its ear to any application to re-
peal the act. and restore the property
10 the county. We may naturally expect
the owners OF the property in the dis
trict TO desire return TO the smaller
county taxation. If their payment Of city
taxes is to bring them no sort of return.
1t Is almost certain. then, that If the city
does nothing towards improving this dis
trict. an application will be made to the
Legislature next winter TO repeal the act
OF annexation. and II is equally certain.
that, petitioned for by all the property
owners. and backed by the county's rep
resentatives. the act Will be repealed
Richmond Will thus lose what can easily
be made within the next five years 10 be
%.oO.OO OF taxable values. Is this TO be
surrendered for the paltry sum appro-
priated by the Finance Committee?

SOME STRIKING FACTS TOUCHING


SOME STRIKING FACTS TOUCHING
SILVER.
The advance sheets of the forthcom-
ing report Of the Director OF the Mint
contain some very interesting and in
structive figures touching the effect which
the silver legislation of this Government
has had upon that metal since we be-
gan to tinker with the subject in 1913.
The following table shows the purchases
the Government has made in that time,
the acts under which those purchases
were made. and the average price paid
per fine ounce:

Total. 109.529 i77.575. 403 S1.O425
The especially noteworthy fact shown
by this table is the steady decline in
the market value of silver that set in
the day we commenced TO make an arti-
fetal market for it that the uses Of So
ciety did not create. We perceive that the
price has gone down steadily during the
twenty years of our efforts to keep it
up, from sl.S1 per fine ounce to less than
90 cents per fine ounce Ohe succeeding
table shows to 81 cents, or it has lost
one-third of its value as Of the time when
we commenced our super-serviceable
efforts I'm its hoha1f The following addi-
tonal table brings this fact out still more
strikingly, by giving the course Of descent
