bility Of $4,oo0,OO0 Increase to the
tax duplicate.
Much Of the territory that will be
annexed to this city is unimprovcd,
and a large expenditure of funds for
new. streets ana other improvements
will be necessary.
The hard times, from 1893 to 1893,
made many inroads into the value Of
Akron's real estate, and will figure
rather prominently when the new ap-
praisement is made.
Meanwhile, the extravaganza of tho
proxy system continues. Sufficient
unto absorbing every cent Of revenue
that can be obtained Is the extrava-
CANT, wasteful administration Of the
Board Of City Commissioners. If the
tax duplicate were made $3.50 10000,
and the tax limit raised accordingly,
the Board would take a new start, and
squander funds with the same reckless
abandon as has been their wont III the
past.

The Senate on Wednesday passed
by vote of 20 to 2, Senator Hanna's
bill, providing for the creation of a
State fire marshal's department. Sen
ators Bright and Wightman voted in
the negative.
Mr.. Hanna spoke briefly and forcibly
In favor of the bills passage. He
pointed out the three following objects
of the establishment of the proposed
department: The investigation of the
causes of every fire occurring in the
State and the rigid prosecution of ev-
cry case of incendiarism; the removal
of all infammable material from the
vicinity of valuable property; the care
full preservation of detailed records Of
all fires. He presented statistics show
ing the great reduction in the number
of fires in the State of Massachusetts
since the appointment of State fire
marshal there and laid stress upon the
fact that the new department will, If
the bill is passed by the House, cost
the State nothing. Senator Marchant

Akron's Real Estate Valuations
no Greater
Than Before the Last Appraisemen'
Boards Extrayagance.

There is no hope OF decreasing the
present S65,000 deficit by the, August
apportionment OF taxes that will be
collected IN June The apportionment
will even fall short of paying current
expenses, and the practice OF borrow
ing money with which to conduct the
city affairs will be continued. The
tax limit, 0.4 mills, has been leviea up
to and exceeded, with steadfastness
worthy of better cause. 1t will also
be found impossible to increase the
tax limit, so the only course now ap-
parent is for the city to continue bor-
rowing money.
The City commissioners have esti-
mated that the large deficit now bur-
dening Akron, and which will continue
to grow, will be eliminated by the in
creased revenue that will accrue from
the new tax duplicate, to be arranged
next year. The present tax duplicate,
according to figures secured from Au-
ditor Sisler, is S16,O0O,0OO. 1t is cal
culated by the Board Of Commissioners
that the new appraisement of real es-
tate will swell the duplicate to $20,-
100000. Admitting that the duplicate
might reach $40, 700, 900, no taxes could
be collected from the new duplicate
until December, 1901. Thus, it is
shown that the now duplicate cannot
be used In aiding the Commissioners
for almost two years, during which
time payment of expenses may be
provided only by the borrowing of
money.
The real estate of the territory to be
annexed 10 Akron has been shining as
a beacon light to the Board II is
reasonable to assume that this terri
tory will increase the duplicate, but
owing to the very high prices the
trusts have placed on building mater
ials of all kinds, aud the inadequate
increase In wages of workingmen, it
has been impossible for them to build
houses. or place expensive repairs on
residences. 1t will also be found that
| tie buildings on some of Akron S
streets are really In bad condition, not
being worth more than half what
their value was 10 years ago.
In speaking of fhe above matters
the Democrat has been frank enough
to give the facts without attempting
to sugnr-coat them. Observe closely
the existing conditions in Akron, an,l
