IN NINE LANGUAGES
Foreign Trackmen Enabled by Booklet
to Read Rules in Their Own
Language.

A new book of instructions publish
ed in nine languages has just been is
sued by the Pennsylvania Railroad for
the government of employees working
on or about the tracks. The English
portion of the booklets covers three
pages and following it are TRANSACTIONS
into German, Greek, Hungarian, Ital-
ian, Lithuan am, Polish, Slovak and
Swedish.
In the average track gang il this
section of the country there are from
three to six nationalities represented
As many foreign laborers under
stand very little English, the problem
of protecting the lives of these mel
has become serious one for the rail
roads.
The sixteen rules in the booklet dis
tribhted by the Pennsylvania are de
signed chiefly to enforce proper care
in the performance of hazardous du-
ties. Rule sisteen says, 'Any employee
who, while ON duty, is careless about
the safety of himself or others, or who
disregards warnings, shall be subject
to discipline" Another ruae makes
possession of the book and a klowl
edge of it's contents obligatory for all
track workmen.
Contrary to the general belief that
the poorer classes of immigrants are
very ignorant, those who are in charge
of the track gangs say that practical
ly all the men can read, and that one
is rarely found who cannot sign his
name.

MAYOR ELLIS RUNS AWAY.

In his letter to the Progressive Re-

resent, declining to be candidate be-

To be considered for Congressional

Assessing Unimproved Land and Old
Buildings.

A. G.. Bleydell, secretary of the
New York Tax Reform Association, in
an address delivered before the Lea
que of American municipalities at
Montreal, spoke suggestively of the
necessity of taxation reform in cities
and towns in part as follows:
One serious loss of revenue is due
to the under assessment of vacant lots
and badly improved properties. The
plea is made that unimproved prop
erty should not be assessed on the
same basis as improved property be-
cause it is not ready for use. If
this is a fact it will be shown by the
market price.
"A prospective purchaser will cal
culate how long he will have to hold
such land until it is ready for inn
provement, and the market price will
be lower, by the probably taxes and
interest for such a period, than if
the property was fully ripe for devel-
opment.
AS the taxes are allowed for in the
market value, there is no reason why
this should not be taken as the stand
ard of assessment. In many cases,
however, the plea that the property
is not ready for development is not
made in good faith; the lots would
sell for price that builders could
afford to pay.
ITO allow such vacant property to
escape with low valuation until the
owners obtain a large price, and
meanwhile to obtain, at the expense
of improved property, the streets and
lights and other services that add to
the value of the lots, puts an unfair
burden upon those who build UP a
city"
Probably every city or town has a
district of which it is said that the
town would be better off if such old
buildings were burned down. Yet
| the owners of these eye-sores. are
usually favored by under assessment
and, as they obtain some income
from the buildings, they can stand
out for high price even better thar
the owner of vacant property. While
the old buildings actually hurt the
development of the city. In sucf
cases every effort should be made tt
value both the land and the buildings
at their true worth, so that the own
ers will be induced to put the land tt
/ it's best use.
This does not apply, however, tt
the ordinary case of old buildings
which are still fairly well suited t.
the site. A proper discrimination ii
assessment between the value of 1ant
and the additional value given to tn,
Iplot by the presence of the buildings
will prevent injustice in both cases.
