The heaviest amount of tax levied on

This tract of land was valued by the APP
Pfaisers. at $2,IOe- The total amount of
tax which the railroad company has to
pay is $S15.55. and it will probably pay it
all in lump. The smallest tax in the

Almost anybody could afford to own that
much property. Mr.. TompkinS has a large
amount of other property besides, how
ever.
1t is the same old story-every time a
new sewer district is created. People get
the wrong idea of the matter and think
that when it is announced that the aver
age cost per lot is so many dollars. that
is the amount they will have to nav As
will be understood from the foregoing the
amount of tax on each lot depends en-
t1rely upon the value of the lot. The lot
worth $500 pays exac City three times as
much as the lot worth 800. This law
makes 1t easier on the poor man to pay
his sewer tax. The heaviest burden of a
sewer is always shouIoered by the chap
who can afford to live on the desirable
land.

More Than Expected.
HOW 1T is FIGURED.
Each Person Pays on Basis of

This Makes Some People Pay

HOW 1T is FIGURED

Here is a bit of advice for people
living in the Fifth ward sewer dis
trict: If anybody asks you the rate
for figuring sewer tax, tell them it is
.302O57922. That statement ought to end
almost any of the numerous arguments
which are taking place down in that
part of town nowadays about the lex
cessive'' sewer tax.
a lot of the Fifth varders have with
in the past few days become greatly
excited by the receipt of a letter from
the city clerk stating that as they are
the owner of such and such lots, their
sewer tax will be so much. payable in
one lump. or in ten yearly INSTALL
ments.
But that is more than the city told
us it would be-" is the emphatic de-
claration which many are heard to
make.
sure it is" is the reply. The city
engineer told us it would be only $40
a lot, and my notice calls for s9O''
Then is the time to step up and say
politely: Gentlemen, the rate is
.302O57922.'
If you are not assassinated upon the
spot, you may have chance to ex-
plain yourself The figure 3O2057922 is
not nearly so bad as it looks. 1t is the
key to the whole situation-by means
of il every man can figure out his own
sewer tax, and see that no mistake has
been made.
In the first place, don't take too lit
orally the city engineers assertion
that the sewer tax would be S45 lot
The city engineer means well, and tries
hard to please. But he did not intend
that every man in the Fifth ward sew
er district should pay S45 lot for the
sewer. He meant that the average
would be $45 per lot. But that is net
the way sewer tax is figured. The av-
erage cut no ice.
Every lot and tract in the sewer dis
trict was inspected by a board of three
appraisers a few weeks ago and a
of all the real estate in the district
was thus ascertained to be S1S9 SD So
Then the city let the contract for
building the sewer, and the price
agreed upon for the entire job was s57.-
1873. The clerks in the city clerks Of
fee then divided the contract price
S9l.33I.39 by the total valuation, $780,
$3.50, and the result was:
-302057922
This is the rate of taxation for the
Fifth ward sewer district. To find out
what your sewer tax is, just multiply
the value OF the property as fixed by
the BOARD OF appraisers by .302057922. 1t
gives you the total amount of your tax

PARKER'S FIRST.
Speaks to an Audience Which Packed
Madison Square Garden.

New York, Nov. Judge Parker
last night made his first platform ap-
pearance away from his home at
Esopus since his nomination as the
Democrat candidate for president. He
addressed monster mass meeting
held in Madison Square garden, where
his reception was attended by a DEM
onstration seldom equalled in the in
tensity and the duration of the enthu-
siasm displayed. The nearest ap-
proach was that which followed the
nomination of Judge Parker at St.
Louis and later the endorsement by
the same convention.
Not only was the appearance of
Judge Parker cheered, but every men
ton of his name by speakers who pre-
coded him provoked outbreaks of
applause. The tumult of unrestrained
enthusiasm which accompanied Judge
Parker'S entrance to the garden was
in contrast to the close attention given
him during his speech of not more
than half an hour. While his ad-
dress was punctuated by applause,
the throng which filled the garden to
it's capacity was markedly considerable
in it's treatment of the candidate. He
