Since the county council has beer
called for Nov 29 to pass on the bridge

the commissioners next Saturday tc
decide definitely upon the amounts.
Advertisements for the meeting OF
the county council do not state the
amounts of the appropriation. They
merely state that appropriations for

The narrative of the first invalid elected

admitted that he had been Il practcing

of the usual buffers" of the profession.
When the leading men OF his school, after
an exploratory incsIon into his stomach
declared that as they could see nothing
abnormal his hyperacidity and pain "must
be mental" he thought this was carrying
the blum too far and decided not to do IL
TO others any longer.
And, finally, the house physician him
self entered the conversation, and in an
attempt to defend his alma mater told us
about n man who had sustained severe
blow on the back OF his head. The medical
doctors could find no fracture, nor could
they measure, with their available scien.

TAX LAND VALUES ONLY

To the Editor OF the EUcninD Ledger
sir-At the junction OF the Schuylkill and
Delaware Rivers william Penn planned a
city. Many generations of men followed
him, carrying out and enarglng his plans,
until as a result of their ceaseless labors,
the Philadelphia of today stands But as
the city grew, with It's manufactures bus
mess houses, public buildings and homes,
there came into being, as sort or by
product another kind of value. This. at
taching itself to the soil, we know as land
value 1t was, as 1t WERE reflection OF
the citys multfariouH activities, was COM
munally produced, made by Philadelphia 8
people as II whole and Is dependent for Its
continued existence on their presence here.
But, strange to say, these citizens, wise
in many respects, have foolshly allowed
this golden stream to flow mainly into pri-
yate pockets. They have taken, for their
public expenses. in the shape of the tax
falling on land values, small portion, but
for every dollar so taken five have gone
to those vino did not earn 1t and who had
no shadow OF any real right to 1t. The
revenue thus raised, not being half enough,
has been eled out with various other taxes,
all falling on and hindering business, labor
and enterprise.
Today our municipal income Is INSULT
Client More revenue is urgently needed
How shall 1t be raised? Why surely from
city, to which the community has so clear
a title, and with which, were all taken, we
could literally pave our streets with gold.
Let steps be at once taken to separate
the land values from the improvements In
making the real estate assessment. In
crease the tax rate, on land values only,
sufficiently TO give the required revenue.
Provide that every year for ten years ten
cents shall be deducted from the improve
ment value tax rate and be added to the
land value rate; in the case of school taxes
this figure to be five cents.
BY this means we would, in ten years
time free our buildings etc, entirely from
taxation. Do Philadelphians know that in
that time Pittsburgh and Scranton will have
half exempted from taxation their building
values? Cant we do better?
