4 Comparison.

An investigation made few months
since, into the condition of Fargo, N.
D., and Moorhead, just across the
river on the Minnesota side, reveals
some very interesting facts, some of
which at leaet may possibly find their
cause In the differing policies touch
Ing the liquor traffic. Pettiboue's Di-
rectory, which gives the population of
the two cities, shows that the gain dur
ing the preceding two years has been
six times as fast on the prohibition
side as on the liquor side. In the
matter of public improvements, Fargo
by far outstrips her sister city, having
one mile of cedar block pavement for
each 676 population, against one mile
for each 1882 population in Moor
head. The ''dry" city has one mile of
water main for each 27O population,
whereas, in Moorhead where the sa-
looms exist there Is but one mile of
water main for each 7O2 population,
In view of the much greater improve
ments on the Fargo side, the business
man would not object to paying high
or taxes but this is not necessary. The
tax rate on the Fargo side for city
purposes is 1.498 per cent, whereas
on the Moorhead side it is 2.l83 per
cent. It might be expected that Fargo
would be more deeply in debt for her
better improvements, but statistics co
not bear this out. The city debt on
the Fargo side was s19 so per capita,
whereas on the Moorhead side it was
S44.79, or 20.5 per cent of the total as
sessed valuation of the property in the
city. On the Fargo side the total debt
IL but 7.8 per cent of the assessed valu-
alton OF the property. In the matter
ofcriminality Fargo shows the arrests
for the preceding year to have been
662, whereas on the Moorhead side
they were 542, but Fargo being more
than twice the size of Moorhead the
only intelligent comparison is on the
per capita basis. The number of ar
