NO LOAN is NECESSARY.
Every Evening, Monday.


Editor Every Evening. In your edi-
torial Of December 7th, criticising the
financial condition OF our city. you
suggest u temporary loan, sufficient to
wipe out the present floating debt of
the city, s'as remedy sby which the
city can extricate itself from its pres
ent financial difficulties. ~
While Ifagree with your other sug-
gestions about strict arrangements for
the collection of taxes, and with an alb
solute prohibition of any floating debts
hereafter" do not think it at all
necessary to borrow any money to pay
the running accounts. But the city
tax collectors should be held to a strict
accounting for the collection of taxes
according to law, because if they had
really tried to collect those on their
duplicates in q businesslike manner,
enough could have been already col
lected to enable Council to pay bills as
incurred, provided that reasonable at
tention was paid to keeping expenses
within their limited income.
Some yeaTs ago, when was elected
mayor, | found similar condition Of
affairs to exist; but in the three years
of my official term, by using ordinary
economy, had enabled them to pay
off their floating debt.
When 1 inform you that sufficient
| taxes ior 1896, 1896 and 1897 are still
uncollected to pay those floating bills,
and the collectors are allowed to excuse
themselves by the plea of hard times
making collections slow,'' you can un-
derstand how unjust is the treatment
of those taxpayers who do pay their
taxes within the years they are levied.
No attempt has been made to enforce
collections by legal measures, but
| Council has allowed the collectors to
"stand them Off by the plea that tax
payers are in turn standing them off,
while, if they were held to prompt
business accounting according to law,
they in turn could collect after very
little resort to legal measures. One
case prosecuted to collection would
make many more pay up without
longer delay.
In your editorial of December 9th,
you in turn criticise the report of the
road commissioners, who have nothing
whatever to do with collecting the roat
taxes. That is the duty of the hun
dred collector, who is appointed by the
Levy Court, and settles with the count,
receiver of taxes who again in turr
sends his check for the sums pait
monthly to the road commissioners
who then split it up among those wht
do the work. Julian ID. Janyier.
