A Splendid Isolation

Mr.. A. Paul Kitchin, of Scot
land Neck, has issued a state
ment to the voters of the county
in an attempt to defeat the pas
sage of the proposed bond issue
of a half million dollars for the
purpose of constructing perman-
ent highways and bridges
throughout the county.
Just why Mr.. Kitchin, who
has been a member of the Hall
fax County Good Road Commits
sion for some time and is one Of
the members Of the commission
of five appointed under the en-
aiding legislation enacted at the
last session of the Legislature,
should be opposed to the bond is
sue is a mystery in no wise clear
ed up by a careful perusal of his
statement on the subject.
Mr.. Kitchin has figured that
the amount the county will be
required to pay in interest on the
bonds for thirty years will be nine
hundred thousand dollars. Six
per cent of $500, 10000 equals
$50, 10000 times thirty years:
$500, 10000. The county can
save this interest, says Mr.. Kit
chen, by not issuing the bonds.
As true as is the counter propo-
s;tion that the county can save
many times more than that BY
issuing the bonds A fair de-
duction from Mr.. Kitchens pre-
mise IS That ne thinks IL extrav-
agant to borrow money at six
per cent: by which, If he is right,

proposed to annex to the city will be
held Sunday night at the courthouse
in Old Town to di-euss the project. The
call was signed by Jesus Romero. Mo-
destu O. Ortiz Npstor Montoya, Tor
bino Archuleta and simon Garcia.
1t is understood that there is oppo-
sftiun TO annexation by many residents
of territory concerned, because of fear
there would be heavy addition to the
taxes of property owners, This idea
according to those familiar with con-
ditions, is erroneous.
The city government does not now
assess property within its limits, the
county assessor and the county COM
missioners performing that duty The
county assesses the property in old
Town and the precincts that fringe
the city at very low figures, and eX-
emptions leaves very large part of the
home owners free from taxes. II
would continue to he the practice, ana
relatively small proportion of the
property owners would pay more
taxes. for the taxation is but S1.16 on
the 500 assessed value, not on the ac-
tual value. Anyone can determine now
how slightly his taxes would be in
creased by being made a citizen of Al
buquerque, if he will look at his tax
certificate and note the sum upon
which he actually pays county ana
state taxes

II is considered by annexationsts
hat the native population in the pre-
a,ncts would be gamers by anneXa-
ion, a they could thus secure adj
Nantag at the expense of the wealth
of the whole city. For instance, a fire
station i'm Old Town, together with
police for that locality and others,
They could also secure additional
school support as a part of the city
school district, for all the city would
then have to contribute.
While the city commissioners are
not chosen by wards, the voting popu-
lation of Old Town and the other now
outside sections could secure repre-
sentation on the commission. 1t is con-
sidered by most business men in Al
buquerque that the outside territory
would be the gamer and the city loser
through annexation, so far as financial
benefits are concerned.
The purpose Of annexation asked is
the making of Greater Albuquer-
que numerically. All over the coun-
try cities and towns are extending
borders to include people who really
are inhabitants. Santa Fe is prepar-
