Notice To Delinquent Taxpayers


Feeling that it would be But Just
that delinquent Taxpayers be
allowed TO settle all of their taxes
upon the same terms and condi-
tions, and fully realizing that under
the law of 1897 interest and penal
ties would have to be collected on
all such delinquent taxes, unless
some action was taken by the city
council in the premises, | therefore
appeared before the honorable city
council of the city OF Brownsville at
its last regular meeting, on Mon
day, the 10th, inst, and procured
the adoption of resolution to the
effect that, remission of the ac-
crued interest and penalties will
be made on all delinquent taxes
which are promptly settled in full,

recovery thereof; but should suit be
instituted and judgment recovered
it would not only include the taxes
5 originally assessed, but also
go interest and 10 per cent, penal
ties thereon, as well as costs of
court. Hence, in the final settlement
of such taxes, it will he necessary
to pay great deal more than it
would if settlement be made at this
time.
Therefore, l sincerely trust that,
all of our citizens will not be so
unmindful Of their own interests as
to allow this opportunity to escape
them of saving such additional ex-
pense. Very respectfully,

An EXPLANATION.

! hdAOl iOl liO Nlt HNeOAr AoHb
and telephones, published in The
HERALD OF Tuesday, the statement
was made that no time was set for
the beginning of work and none for
completion, nor was there any for
felt exacted of Mr.. Maxcy.
The statement was erroneous in
part. There is a date named for
beginning work, which a careful ex-
animation of the contract has dis
closed. 1t is placed at four months
from the time of acceptance of con-
tract by the council But rs to the
time of completion and a forfeit,
the editorial statement holds good.
The error WAS most natural
one; although the writer will not
artempt to justify it on that excuse,
for while natural it was still an
error, and errors are almost in
variably inexcusable. While re-
GREETING the necessity, still | regard
it as a duty not to be shirked to
make due GmeHde honorable for
whatever injustice | may do a fell
bowman; and SO help me God, l
would not Intentionally misrepre-
sent any person or any cause for
any Reason whatsoever.
In the reading OF the proposition
to the council Mr.. Maxcy was stand
ing where the wind, coming in u
draught from the open door, car
ried the sound of his words away
from my hearing and | failed to
understand fully one-half he spoke.
Thus | did not hear him read the
slight mention ofdate for beginning
work in his proposition.
Later, when Mr.. Kibbe asked
him about a forfeit, Nr. Maxcy be-
cahe indignant and declared that
it was childish to exact forfeit
and set dates, stating that he would
agree to nothing of the kind. Con-
tinuing, he said that he would
promise, however, to begin work as
soon as the Lott railroad WAS built
near enough to enable him to get
his heavy material hauled into
Brownsville conveniently, which
would be at least fnur or FIVE
months, and that he would further
promise to push the work to COM
pletion as rapidly as possible, but
he would not at all bind himself to .
any certain date nor pat up for
felt.
All this was spoken on the i'm
pulse of the moment, and when sir.
MaXcy resumed reading he took up
the proposition past the agreement
10 begin work in four months.
hence, the impression received as
to dates was that his promise was
merely verbal, made OH the floor in
reply to Mr. Kibbe's questions
And later in di-cussing the terms
OF the contract with councilmen
and Others present, the same i'm
preston as to both dates-the be-
and end OF the work-eyi-
IDENTIFY prevailed with them. for no
one referred to the first date being
IN the contract. So, while | sub :
nit that the mistake in the editorial ;
vas natural, | acknowledge The err :
or and am free to say that it ought Z
lot to have been made. 9
