Electric Motive Power.

The meeting of the directors of the
Santa Fee street car line results in
the contit uance of the officers who
have given satisfaction in the past.
The matter Of an electric street line
has been laid before Expert j. 81.
Maxon of St. Louis, and Mayor
Magoffin says his report. is that at
present an electric street line lin Ell
Paso would not pay, although in the
not far dis ant future such q system
might he profitable. Owing to the
complete freedom of the lines in this
city from snow and ice, it is thought
that the storage bat: cry system would
do best here; but while nothing can be
said defioi'ely as yet, the proprietors
OF the street railway lines are keeping
their b nacle lights uncovered for all
chances and probabilities in the
electr C line. The mayor says he un-
derstands that the entire tracksge
system now in vogue in this city will
have to be rebuilt. Mayor Gordon Of
Cincinnati who is largely interested in
local street railway properties is in
town for several days.

The Tax Levy.

The city council met Saturday night
in the county court rom to canvsss
the school election returns and talk
over the school tax levy ard tx the
height of the new levee which nov ap-
pears to be an assured success.
Tho resolution adopted was as fol-
lows:
Whereas, the city council of the city
of FL PasO has entered, or will enter
into agreement with the Ne. Mexico
Railway & Coal company and the
Texas & Paciic railway for the purpose
of constructing certa: ]evees along the
river front from Stanton street east in
said city, wherein the said railway
companies are required to build their
portions of said Levers up to the high
water line of the year of 1897.
Therefore be 1t resolved by the
aforesaid city council, tina: the eleva-
tiou of said high water line at Stanton
street on the river front ia hereby de-
<ignated and declared to be thirty Sc
ven hundred and eight tenths feet, and
Austin street and the river front to be
thirty-six hundred and ninety-nine
and one tenth feet, and that the
Texas & Pacific railway round house.to
be thirty-six hundred and ninety-eix
having been determined from the Off
cial grade elevation and level beach
mark of said city by the city engineer
thereof. on the 11th day of February,
1898.
Be it further resolved, that snofi cia l
copy of these resolutions be forwarded
to each of said railway companies, for
guidance in the construction Of the
aforesaid levee from Stanton to Austin
street, if such construction is under
taken by them.
The mayor stated relative to the
obstruction at the south end OF Stanton
street bridge, that the jefe politico Of
5areZ had replied to the action of the
council that the matter Was before the
governor at chihuahua.
The proposition to levy school tax
| was announce carried by q vote of 15S
to Z. The vote for school trustees wat
found to be as already printed. AS to
the levy it was thought best to raise tn
tax for general purposes from 80 cents
to 30 cents on the 500 1t is giving
about 81, 600 to that fund In addition
| to the back taxes, amounting to S25 600
| still unsolicited.
For street maintenance it va:
| thought Is cents on the 800 would be
entirely sufficient.
The tax in 1896 for street improve
ments was cents on the 800; but as
617O0 is now on hand credited to this
fund and no improvements going on, il
was decided to divide this tax between
the ger eral fund and the sewer exten.
| sion fund tax from to 8 cents on the
hundred dollars. Adjourned.
