RAFTING TAXES
AmsadnsAt e Dsist Collections
 Passed Senate Witheut Opp ositien.

The charter amendments to the charter of Waterbury regarding the collection of assessments for. public i'm proyements, and deferring action on the collection of taxes, instead of abating them when there is likelihood of the petitioner leaving all estate from which the bills may be collected. have passed the senate without opposi- ton and they are expected to so through the house in the same man. ner. They are the best measures ever sent to Hartford from Waterbury. Ac- cording to the law in force here for years the aldermen had to abate a tax bill or give the petitioner leave to with draw. In many instances it was a great injustice to the public to act ia vorable on some petitions for abate- ment of taxes. The old folks as rule were deserving. but behind them stood parties who knew they were going to have their property in few years. yet they wouldn't turn hand to help them an thought nothing of seeing their names entered on the pauper list on the city records. Under the new law. the aldermen will be in position to let tax bill stand. bearing interest at 6 per cent, and when the owner dies the back bill with interest will have to be settled before the heirs sit down to divide the spoils
 The street assessment matter has al ways been nuisance. Damages were payable as soon as the work was or dered by the aldermen and the proper. ty owner invariably got what was com ing to him. but the benefits could not be collected until the work was done, which in many instances extended over a period of ten or fifteen years. more or less. During all these years the prop ertylwas encountered by liens which often worked a great hardship to peo- pie who wanted to borrow money. The new law does away with all this and makes neither benefits or assessments payable or collectable until the work is finished. Neither will lien be filed.

foundation can be properly laid in the materlal o-
reetions TO which have referred.
In many respects the next twenty years are
going TO be the most serious in the history OF the
race. Within this period it will be largely decided
whether the negro going to be able to retain the
hold which he has upon the industries OF tne
South, or whether his place will be filled by white
people from a distance. The only way that we can
prevent the industries slipping from the negro IN
all parts Of the South is for all the educators min
listers and friends of the negro to unite to push
forward IN a wholesouled manner. the Industrial
or business development or the negro, eltHeF III

Every white man will respect the negro who
