Adding the amount of tax paid to the
amount unpaid we fluid the total rev.
enue from taxes since 1890 was s.. lOO,-
49,. 81. Dividing this amount by eight,
the number of years since he bonds
were first issued, we find that the rev.
enue from taxes alone should have been
over $50, 600, or $4,000 more than the
estimated expediture for the fiscal year
ending Sept. 3Oth, 1898.
Deducting the amount Of taxes unpaid
from the amount paid. we find an I'M
paid balance of 1897 1865.
Thus it will be seen that If the land
companies and others who owe this
balance to the city had paid their taxes
like good citizens did, or had been been
compelled to do SO or lose their prop
ertv as the small property holders were,
this city would not be in the humilat-
ing position it is to-day Its revenue
would have been sufficient, with wise
management, to meet all its obllgatlon s
and saved the city's credit.

THE NEW LIBRARY nlMDING.
ar. Vest Speaks as to Those EptItlcd
to Credit Ina Its Construction

In the Senate yesterday Mr. Vest took
occasion to refer to the controversy that
has gone on for some time over the .lerra.
OF credit TO which various architects of :he
new library building are entitled for their
work in the design of that structure
Mr.. Vest said that he had been surprised
to see that Mr.. Bernard r. Green. superin-
tendent of the library building had said
in lecture, recently delivered in this city.
that the library had not been constructed
on the plans and specifications furnished l,y
Smithmeyer and Pelz. lie said thar Gen.
Casey had written the Inscription row ex-
hibited in the library building. " hich states
that Smthmcyer and PelZ wa-e tho archi-
tects. and also adds the name Of Gen.
Casey's son. He said that Gen Casey wrote
that inscription himself and % Informed
him. He said that Gen. Casey had test flied
before the joint committee on iia, library
that the plans and Specifications ,sea in The
erection of the building wcr- those Of
Smithmeyer and Pelz Mr.. Vest said that
in Mr.. Green's lecture il WAS stated that
the plans used in the construction Of th.
building Were prepared in ;ssS. being re-
modelled by Gen. Casey's SOIL
This is The most astonishing. and the
grossest injuctive to Smithmeyer and Pelz,''
said Mr. Vest
Mr. Vest said that Gen. Cascy'F son was
not employed either as an assistant en-
gineer or as an architect of the new library
DullnlnR dlltll l>HZ. he said t.t&i the plans
had been prepared under competition. and
tnat these Of Smithrneytr and PelZ have
been lie result OF thirteen years of work.
and were selected the best among u
great number of other plans. .fe said that
the new library building was the most mag
nificent structure in the wori1, and the
dispute over the architect 10 whom be-
ionged the credit of that structure was an
important one.
Mr. Call made a remark that indicated
that he thought that the credit for the
new building belonged to Gen Casey and
10 Mr. Green in a large degree. but Mr..
Vest replied that Gen. Casey had said when
before the joint committee the library,
when asked whether he was an architect:
Il am no more architect than yea
are"
Mr. Vest thought the erossest injustice
had been done to Smithmeycr and PelZ in
casting any doubt upon their JUS claim as
architects of the new library building.

feeling that the United States Marine Band
ought to have at least the band poIt tic n
of the work. When the bids came TO be
opened however, 1t was discovered that
the leader of the Marine Band had made
his bid so that it could not be divided, and
on that account he, as well as others who
had bid in that way, were barred from
consideration.
work of opening and scheduling the bids
wac committed decided, after careful weigh
ing of all the proposals, to award the con-
tracts for the band music to Mr.. Victor
Herbert the leader of the band of the I'D
Regiment. N. Y. s. G., formerly the ia
nous band of the late P. S. Gilmore,
and the orchestral music was given to
Mr. VIII A. Haley of this city. the
leader OF Haley's Military Concert Band
The committee decided that there should
be a greater number of musicians, both
for band and orchestra, than ever before.
fixing the former at sixty-five and the
latter at one hundred and twenty-five.
This action Of the subcommittee was
ratified by the full committee on music,
and was subsequently approved by the ex-
ecutive committee, and the contracts were
duly awarded: AS to Mr.. Herbert's ability
to perform his portion of the work there
was no doubt, because his band has rep
utation perhaps unsurpassed, unless it
may be by the organization of Mr.. John
Philip Sousa, by any band In the country.
There was also no doubt that Mr.. Haley,
who has earned an enViabie reputation as
a musician and organizer in this city,
would be fully able to carry out the en-
gagement he has made. Inasmuch as a
large proportion Of his musicians come
from this city, there has been more active
interest felt In the progress of his orches-
ira. although 1t will appear but once dur
ing the inaugural festivities. than has been
felt in regard to Mr.. Herbert's work. Mr..
Haley at once commenced the selection of
his force utilizing the best musicians in
Washington. and engaging from the Ma
rine Band as many of their skilled musi-
clans as he could employ. RehearsaIs have
been going on each week for the past
month, and at the final rehearsal, given In
the pens,on office yesterday, attended not
only by the full music committee. but by a
large representation of the executive COM
mittee, the opinion was unanimous that
tonight the people who attend the inaus-
urntion ball will listen to the finest dance
music ever played on such an occasion.
