SOME INTERESTING
 FACTS AND FIGURES

The present Cochise County Court House was builtin 1882 at a cost ofabout S200,0OO.00. Some of the bonds bore high rates of interest. The present year will see the last of these pal d of. For twenty-six years the taxpayers of Cochise County have been mortgaged to pay for the present pant. To build a new one, and move the county seat will cost approximately S250,OO0.00 more. This amount will have to be raised by the sale of bonds. Suppose they bear , per cent interest, that item alone will amount to SI2, 800 per year added expense. The present plant will have to be abandoned, and will be a total loss to the taxpayers. This loss should be added to the cost of a new plant in estimat- ing the advantages or disad- vantages to the taxpayers oi the County arising from the move. Let us illustrate: \ man owns a manufacturing plant located at a particular point. For certain reasons he believes his profits can be increased if his plant were To- cated elsewhere. To make the change he will have to en- tirely abandon his old plant and build a new one through out. In order, therefore, tC justify the move. will he not have to be assured of an in- creased earning capacity or the part of his new plant suf' fic;ent to pay interest on the cost of hls new plant and hi: old one as well, which he is compelled to discard; for the cost Of both plants will be the cost of his investment 1T equipment. So in our county seat removal case. in order fol any elector to be justified 1T petitioning or voting for re moval, he must be able tC figure out a saving by remova great enough to pay him in terest on both the presen county buildings 70 t n $200,000, and a new equip ment costing $250,0O0, more or S45O,OO0 in all. Can h. do it? We say, No,

CAN IT BE POSSIBLE
That the Citizens of Bisbee Are Will ing to Shoulder Increased Taxes?

We do not admit that any man goes before us in the mstter of sympathy for our neighboring city Bisbee, in its many hardships and disasters, owing to the recent heavy floods. The people gre deserving of our best sympathy, and certainly com . mend themselves to the best citizen ship everywhere by the brave and en- ergetic manner with which they are carrying their losses, and meeting the demsnds of the situation. We cannot refrain from noticing. however, tha. th- tax rate levied by the Bisbee city council for the current year is the highest ever levied, and even this high rate will be inadequate to mee; :he needs for revenue of the city.

GRADE SEPARATION
If CITY LENDS
ROADS MONEY
NOVEL PROPOSITION FOR EAST.
SIDE IMPROVEMENT OFFERED
ING INTO LAW.

II the city OF Detroit will lend the
money. the railroads will separate
grades east OF Woodward.ave-
This is the Gltimatum that was Civ
en- out In the meeting OF railroad rep
resentatives with the grade separa-
ton committee OF the council Friday
morning Separating the grades as
far east as Russellst. will take two
years and 100000.
There IL a strong possibility that
the city may lend the money IL 1t
can be legally taken from the sinking
fund for that purpose. Corporation
Counsel Hally Is looking up the law
for the purpose OF making report to
The council.
This proposition OF the railways
came as total surprise TO the city
fathers. They were aware of the re-
luctance or inability OF the roads to
undertake more In the way OF grade
separations than that covered by the
present west side agreement which
calls for the spending OF 100000 a
year by the roads.
A. b. Atwater, for the Grand Trunk,
and Henry Russell. for the Michigan
Central, outlined the position OF the
roads.
National and state legislation has
not been particularly favorable to the
raising OF money by the railroads"
said Mr.. Atwater. He went on to say
that the roads had about all they
could do now to make improvements
in the present condition OF business,
but that they had confidence in re-
turning good times and In the city
and would be willing TO make the In
vestment, IL the city will advance the
money.
No specified time for repayment was
discussed, but II was agreed that the
rate of interest would be much more
than that now received by the city
on the sinking fund monies in the
banks. After considerable discussion,
the aldermen agreed to take up the
proposal tentatively pending a deci-
sion as to the city's powers.
The need OF separation In the east
ern territory has long bothered the
aldermen. II has been threatened
that, II the roads refuse TO make a
new agreement, the legislature would
he asked to give the council power to
force separations. This will not be
resorted to IL an amicable agreement
can be reached.
". d. Doughman. of Cleveland, rep
resentipg the Lake Shore, would not
commit his road positively to the pro-
gram of separation, even IL the city
puts up the money.
