than out of the general fund. 1t further
more advocated adopting the same policy
with regard to the other municipal works
of large size involving heavy drains upon
the general revenues of the District.
The situation which has developed since
the District bill was reported calls even
more loudly than before for the adoption
of this principle, of distributing the cost of
large works over long period of years, The
government supplying the capital. being
repaid in annual installments at fair rate
of interest. The current tax revenues
should not be burdened with the entire cost
of the large batterments such as the NUM-
cipal building. the sewerage extensions, the
Anacostia flats improvement above navy
yard bridge, the suburban street extensions
and the railroad terminals, now already
provided for Immediately impending
With the tax revenues increased esti-
mated under the new assessment of realty
and by reasonable personal tax, If that is
deemed essential they will more than pro-
vide for the current needs and will permit
the establishment of a sinking fund to re-
pay to the United States whatever funds.
are advanced by it to the District to pay
for these large improvements. If the in
justice Of bookkeeping mentioned in the
quotation from the January editorial is
meanwhile corrected by transfer back to
the water fund of the liability for the
water system extensions, the Districts gen.
eral fund will be in excellent shape to ac-
commOdate the ordinary drains for the cur
rent expenses, annually enlarging with the
growth of the city. and also the sinking
fund obligations arising from substantial
federal advance.
By such means it would become unneces-
payers of Washington. 1t would be possi-
Bile to proceed at once with the work
urgently needed for the Improvement of the
city from both an esthetic and a sanitary
point of view, and the cost of these better
ments would be apportioned among those
who will most directly benefit from them
the taxpayers of the future-just the
taxpayers of the future are obligated to pay
in every other city for the great improve
ceives and executes for the advantage of
pOSterity.
By restoring to the credit of the general
fund the sums which should have been paid
from the water funds, and thus putting
upon the latter fund the burden of paying
for the water extensions, and by placing
similarly upon the general fund the respon-
sibility for caring in the future for the
present cost of other great works, the Dis
trict's needs and finances will be scien-
tifically adjusted and the necessity of i'm
posing harsh and offensive forms of taxa
ton will be reduced to minimum.

Cow Thief Captured.

Policeman Smith captured a COW
thief Thursday afternoon and is hold
ing him and the cow until it can be as
certained if the thief made a trne
statement as to the name of the party
from whom the COW was stolen. The
suspicious actions of the negro. who
offered the cow for sale at Boyle's
stable, led to his arrest, and after he
had been committed to the guard
house he confessed that the COW was
stolen. He has given his name at
different times as Dan LeGrand, David
LeGrand and Dan Fullwood. He says
he stole the COW from man named
Bill Goings, who lives near Cades, Viii
liamsburg County, but as an excuse
claims that Goings owes him money
which he would not pay and that he
took the COW to get even with Goings.
The Chief of Police has written
to Cades to find out if Goings has lost
COW, and if so, to have him notified
to come for her.
