PUBLIC DISCUSSION
OVERWHELMINGLY
CITY LIMITS.


=
To The News Scimitar:
Memphis capital and capital invested
IN Memphis should decide the issue
whether the city limits should be ex-
tended or not.
Without the taxes paid by property
holders of Memphis, what kind Of
streets, graded and graveled roads would
those living in the suburbs and in the
county have? Those owning property,
especially in the suburbs, have been
benefited more by the increase in the
value of their property than they will
ever pay In taxes, and for this reason
why should anyone complain about ex-
tending the city limits?
1t hasn't been So many years since
land in the Buntyn neighborhood was
selling AT $50 to 5000 per acre. Now it
is sold by the front foot, and daresay
the cause of this is the many onven
fences and opportunities those living
there now enjoy, which can be attrib-
uted to the fact that many thousand
dollars of Memphis bonded Indebtedness
was used to improve her suburbs. Take,
for instance, the amount of money rep
resented by her parks and speedways.
These improvements alone put much
land on the market that formerly sold
by the acre on the front-foot basis.
In 1914 | advocated the extension Of
the city limits as far east as Highland
avenue and was severely criticized,
some claiming it was from a selfish
standpoint. Since then l have moved
to the city, W my home, in addition
to two houses and lots which are pay
ing a good rental income on the invest
ment. l still have interest in, and own
individually, acreage out east.
| am not in the least disturbed about
Memphis bonded indebtedness of S14,-
900, 900, Give her credit, please, for as
sets and resources and the balance
| sheet will be In favor of bigger n bet
ter improvements, particularly for those
now living in the suburbs, and why
should they not be annexed to help take
care of the interest coupons? Respect
| fully submitted, JOHN l.. HYATT.
