not paid A salary? To my mind the attorney and town clerk are amply paid for all the work necessary to make the deeds, and look upon the exaction of three dollars per deed az rank imposition. It. will foot m a thousand ar fifteen hundred dollars. The council had better leave the money in the pockets of the people.
 Then I would like to know whether in leyying the three per cent provided the last assessed valuation of any property is to include the improve ments? If SO the man who has an improved lot will be taxed because he has been enterDrislng and has im- proved his property, while he who lets his property lie ifle-no matter how vauable-gets off with lighter cost. Would that be right?
 l would really like to see these matters simplitied and made little plainer. 1 tried to get an explsHa- tion from Councilman Schoonmaker. But he lost his temper and insulted me by saying he was too busy to talk to me. I would advise him to keep his temper and not insult his friends. If public official is too husy to talk to his constituents about public mat ters of vital interest to them he is too busy to hold office.
