TO IMPROVE SANTIAGO.
General Wood Proposes to Make 1t a
Very Attractive Town.

| General Wood Proposes to Make 1t a
Very Attractive Town.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Oct General
Wood proposes to lnaugurate system
of municipal taxation, making the
taxes retroactive to'Sept. 1. The funds
of the customs house cannot legally be
taken for municipal Improvements here
or in this vicinity, though the present
surplus is 100000 Consequently
another source of revenue has to be
obtained. There has been law to tax
and license every business and every.
body; but since the occupation OF San.
tiago by the American troops, these
taxes have not been collected. Now,
however, the minimum rates will be
exa;ted, which will bring in revenue
of $3.50, 900 per month, which is badly
needed for local improvements 1t Is the
policy of Gen. Wood to spend all he can
legitimateIy upon Santiago, which is the
exact opposite of the system adopted by
the Spaniards. Water in the dry sea-
IN costs 20 cents per barrel. General
Woods plan is to bore artesian wells
and obtain plentiful supply of water.
Santiago can stand the expenditure of
a lot of money in improvements and
Genera Wood proposes building
boulevards around the city, thus prac.
tically extending it's limits and making
the outskirts the most popular portion.
But there is no idea of unduly taxing
the people. The general will merely
raise sufficient money to carry on the
municipal government in satisfactory
manner committee consisting of
two American officers and two Cubans,
has been appointed to consider the best
legal measures to be adopted under the
circumstances.
