MAYOR MAKES STATEMENT
CONCERNING SALE OF LOTS

There has been considerable dis.
cussion on the street and elsewhere
in regard to the sale OF some land
owned by the city to Mr.. Trey. Dis
cussion and criticism Of NIL acts OF
the city commissioners is all right
and should be the duty of everyone,
but such criticism should be in a
spirit OF fairness and with the OBJ
ject of pointing out mistakes rather
than the sole purpose of misrepre-
sentation and trying to create
prejudice against officials who are
doing what they think Is Tor the
best interests Of also that when
you hear this criticism you cannot
help but think that the hot dry
weather has affected their reason
ing apparatus. Some estimates OF
the value of this piece Of ground
have been all the way from $500
to $1,000 and the paving has been
estimated from 500 to $500. Now
l will give you some figures that
are facts, not hot air. The city
last year paved the street Ia front
of this tract and three appraisers
were chosen to appraise all lots and
lands in the paving district. The
appraisers were Ed. Makins, ]. p.
Brilliant and ]. d. Cramer. They
were sworn to appraise all land at
as near its cash value as their tudg-
ment would permit and II there is
an expert on land values in Abilene
1t is Ed. Makins, and the others are
both above the average in that line.
They appraised the tract we sold
Mr.. Trey at $50. The paving bill
against the tract was $21.99. Now
the city paid for the tract SIS, the
paving tax $21.99, the sewer tax
$40, making a total Of $106.99. The
commissioners sold 1t for $3.50, The
city got rid of a weed patch, dump
ing ground and an eye sore to the
public ever since 1t was bought. The
city will get the worth OF the lot
each year in taxes and there will
be four more families come to abb
lene who were not here before. We
think the city came out all right
ON the deal for three disinterested
parties appraised 1t year ago at
$50 and 1t surely has not raised
much in value since then. Mr.. Trey
added $500 to all those adjoining
places when he fixed up the lot on
the other side Of the creek and II
he is going to tackle another spot
like that he certainly deserves the
thanks Of the town. 1t seems as
though there Is disposition of
some people in Abildn whenever
any citizen tries to do anything to
give him all the knocks they can
and make 1t as hard for him as
possible. 1t is about time we out
grew that spirit.
