CITY TAXES IN WHEELING

i The Intelngencer has from time to
time called attention to the paucity
;.of the tax levy In the City Of Wheel
ing. It has pointed out that the tax
rate on which this city was conducted
was lower than any other city Of any
size in the State OF West Virginia,
and lower 80 far as we can learn,
than any other city Of the same size
in the United States. In this connec'
y ton it is interesting to know the tax
rates imposed by two West Virginia
rcities next In Importance to Wheeling
In Parkersburg the tax rate i'm
posed by City Council few days ago
was 42c on the hundred dollars, and
the total tax rate for 1917 for all pur.
poses in Parkersburg is $1.73 on the
hundred dollars.
In Huntington, the tax rate fixed
for 1917 is Sc on the hundred dollars,
and has been at this rate for many
years.

Wheeling can pay as much for city

other city in the United States.
In the past we have failed to have
some Of these things because for
some reason we have refused to pay

USING THE OHIO RIVER

The success of the plan developed
by Colonel Lansing Beach, United
States Government Engineer, for the
production OF an artificial coal stage
in the Ohio River, suggests important
possibilities.
A great many million bushels OF
coal were foated from the Kanawha
River to Cincinnati BY this artificial
stage. Within three or four years at
the most, the Ohio River will be
canalized from Pittsburgh to Cairo.
Navigation for boats Of considerable
size will be possible the year round.
The creation Of artificial coal boat
stages will be easier under those con-
ditions than even at the present time.
The Intelligencer believes that judi
cious use Of these facilities will not
only restore the traffic Of the river,
but increase It beyond all possible
computation. This great valley has
become the workshop Of the world,
and it's industrial capacity as we'll as
its transportation demands are in
creasing every year. Our railroads
are not now able to handle the trait
fic originating in this valley. The
river Is now needed, and will soon be
needed much more. The manutac-
turers and merchants who are enter
prtsing enough to equip themselves
with the best facilities for the use Of
the river, are certain to reap tire
mendous harvest therefrom.
