PAVING SITUATION

Work on Main street paving has not
started, and according to the version
Of thu matter held by those who OPP
pose the work, will never start until
the entire proceedings of the council
in the matter are done all over again.
The whole thing hinges on the ef-
fectjyeness Of resolution 1877, passed
on the sixth day OF May by the new
council. This resolution repealed res
olution 134 passed by the old council
about April 9th, which resolution 1S4
was that which repealed resolution
l19. which gave notice of intention to
pave Main street. The opposing prop
erty owners and the attorneys em-
ployed by them, contend that the re-
peal of repeating ordinance does not
revive the proposition which the first
repeating ordinance repealed.
Resolution 119 passed on the 18th
day OF November, 1912, was the one
setting forth the intention to pave
Main street, and calling for protests.
After the resolution had been duly
published, protests were filed, which
appeared sufficient, but when time for
considering of the protests came round
several protestants had withdrawn,
making the protest fail The opponents
If the paving then sought to enjoin
the council from opening bids for the
paving as advertised for, and the ad-
vertisement for bids had been ordered
1ut OF local paper in which 1t was
running. Judge Hardy denied an in
junction. and his ruling will be appeal
ID from to the supreme court of the
state. But no bids were received or
opened.
Then again, the old council, Just be-
fore Its going out. passed resolution
1874, which had In effect the killing Of
everything that had been done In the
paving matter, and the claim was set
Up that this resolution in itself was IL
legal, but was not brought into court
for settlement.
The first thing the new council did
was to pass resolution 1877, which was
to repeal resolution 1874, which had ap-
parently killed the paving. and the
council believing that the matter was
then straight, published an advertise
ment for bids, received and opened the
bids and let the contract 10 Levy and
Levy of Muskogee for the paving.
1t Is a constitutional fact and
matter Of statute. so we are in
formed, that statute repeating stat
tie that itself repealed a former law,
While 1t may repeal the repeating
statute, does not revive the original
proposition. The attorneys for the
,aving opponents contend that the
same proposition obtains with refer
ence to city ordinances and resolu-
tions, and IL their contention is up
held, there is no doubt that the council
will start over again on its paving
deal. The council will then have to
commence with passing new resolu-
ton setting out its intention to pave
the street, and give opportunity for
protests.

LOWER LAND RATES.

Advanced sheets of the annual
report Of the state board of
equalization, which is composed
of the tax commissioners, show
that this year the mining prop
erty in Arizona will pay 37.2 per
cent OF the taxes. Land will
pay only 1917 per cent of the re-
venue collected
The assertion has been made
that this year the mines will
bear no greater portion of the
burden than they bore last year.
Carefully compiled figures show
that in 1911 the mines paid 49,
per cent of the taxes, and in
1912, 3I.7 per cent. The pro-
portion borne by land and other
property, with the exception of
railroads, has been decreasing.
In 1911, -14.2 per cent of the
taxes were on land and improve
ments, but the percentage dlop-
ped to 1877 in 1912 and 1917 in
1918.
City lots and improvements
thereon paid 26.5 per cent of the
taxes in 1911, 1872 per cent in
1912, and in 1918 will pay 1872
per cent. Live stock dropped
from rs per cent in 1911 to 6.5
in 1912 and SO in 1918. Rail
