Judge Coldwell on the Tax Situation

a HERALD reporter called on Judg
! Coldwell this noon for his views or
the present tax suit situation: and he
said: Ever since [ have been a mem
| Der OF the city council, l have persist
emily urged that vigorous steps be
taken for the collection of the taxes
| and in the great ma jOrity Of cases have
! been over-ruled by the city council
! The next term Of the district court
begins the first Monday in January
and lasts two months. 1t has already
been set for civil jury cases, and prob
ably the entire time of the court will
be consumed in trying these cases.
Our tax suits, without exception are
non jury cases. They therefore can
not come up until the April term, and
the first six weeks of that term will be
consumed in trying criminal cases,
that is, judging the future by the past.
Therefore nothing can be done In the
tax suits of any Importance to the
public until about the middle of May.
BY that time, new council will have
beea installed whose duty it will be to
elect city attorney.
Messrs. Stewart and Roberts propose
to have our $500 city attorney do sub.
stantiaiIy nothing, and then hire out
side counsel to discharge duties that
are properly incumbent on the city
attorney. Why not let the council
elected in April elect q city attorney
who for $1,000 per year will discharge
all duties of city attorney, and spare
the city the expense of addition
al counsel? To my personal knowledge
the best lawyers in Ell Paso will take
the position Of city attorney, if it can
be secured without unseemly scram-
bling. The city is in bad way fnan-
cially as well as otherwise. Not count ng
bonds we are S35, 900 in debt, and the
debt is still increasing. We have a
large staff of officers all highly paid.
who ought to be able to discharge
any duty that may presumably arise.
But Notwithstanding, our troubles are
increasing, and something has got to
be done. The difficulty arises from the
Indifference or incompetency of our
present city officials. Now what is the
remedy proposed? The usual remedy
OF the politician, viz, to
create a new office and attach
to it a fat salary disguised
under the name of a commission. |
confidently assert that if the business
OF the city of Ell Paso is attended to on
business principles, the back taxes can
be collected wherever legal, by the
ordinary processes and machinery pro-
vided by law and the charter. The
taxes for 1895 have been collected by
thousands of dollars cleaner than dur
ing any preceding year. Why is this?
Because the assessor and collector
used one of the remedies provided by
law for the collection of the taxes of
1895 which the council did not permit
him to employ for the collection of
taxes of other years.
The report of the majority of the
committee made Thursday night. is a
tissue OF mlsStatements on all material
points, originating doubtless in ignor-
ance, but which is certainly conducive
to harm.
In conclusion the proposed contract
is manifestly illegal, and will be en-
Joined at the suit OF any citizen who
has the spirit and patriotism to resent
