That over g.. 900 names are on tn Q
assessment list in our city. can 10
partially explained by the fact that
the names OF men appear in every
ward In which they own property.
thus making The aggregate larger
than tine census leads the reader TO
expect. Beside many persons may
have removed from the city, othsrs
Imay have died. others are not nat
uralized. and consequently tho vote
will not reach over thres.fourths of
tho number OF names that appear on
the assessment list. Persons when
talking about the large assessment
should bear the above facts in mind
and not jump at the conclusion that,
fraud is intended at the polls.
Prior to 1856 tnore was little trouble
Experienced In having names placed
on the list. No voucher was req ulred.
no personal appearance was necessary,
but member of the Levy Court pro.
sented the name, and on his motion
the clerk enrollel 1t. Prior to that
time. there was no trouble in paying
n tax. the collectors visiting the taxa,
|, BILE and requesting him to pay up. In
many instances the collectors found
several visits necessary to secure the
money, as the Llvy Court bad not be-

20 the height required to meet every
exlgency. Too often lack OF funds
tends to cranp enterprise or enlarged
expenditures, aud leads to policy
that may he styled penny wise AMI
pound foolish. Tae folly of the exer-
else OF too much economy can be
seen In the laying Of some OF the
water pipes in our city, as well "a III
the erection OF some of the schools,

cost of enlargement is generally much
greater than II tho additional room

head and the mother took the ak from the
girl and cut him across the throat with it.
