Mayor Thomas W. Hakwins has just tompleted a resume of the situation jiat confronts the city of Charlotte which he will present to the board of jldermen at its regular meeting Mon night The document that the mayor has prepared gives in detail th needs of the city in its every depart-, ment and suggests remedies for many ills that exist. The inequalities of the rafpm of taxation are DOinted out and the Legislature is suggested as the on-4 ; jy hope cf having this remedied. The document is extremely interesting, es pecially as the people of the city have begun to awaken to the seriousness of the situation. It is as follows: To the Board of Aldermen of the City 'of Charlotte, N C, Gentlemen: Section 41. On page 17 of censed charter provides that the mayor shall from time to time give the board of aldermen information of "file condition of the city's affairs, and recommend such measures as he , deems best f?r the city." In accordance with that provision of the charter I present for your con sideration the following facts and rec ommendations. The assassed value of all property listed for taxation In the dty is appropximately 1115,500,000. . Tie tax rate for State, county and city- combined is 12.16 2-3 on the 100, and fi tax is levied for the following !' 'panoses, viz.: ' ifoT State, 25c on $100. For county schools, 18c on $100. For general fund, 23 2-3 on $100. For city school fund, 20c on $100. For city general nurooses anil to Jay interest on bonded indebtedness, II on $100. To:a: tax rate $2.16 2-3 on $100. I ask you to note that the city only jets II out of the $2.16 2-3 for gen era! purposes, and of this it takes ap proximately 41 per cent to pay the in- terest on bonded indebtedness, tMs interest being $63,082.04 per year Payable semi-annually. The city also gets a revenue (which varies little from year to year) of ap proximately $4 5,000 from licenses, costs from Recorder's court, inspec tion fees and cemeteries, which with we general taxes gives the city an an nual income of approximately $210;- MOO with which tr tak cm- of t.Vi city and to pay the 163,082.04 inter est on the bonded indebtedness. The bonded indebtedness, the pur Poses for which said bonds were is fued, and the interest rate the bonds oear. as given in the financial state ment of the city, made by the last ad ministration, are as follows, viz.: ted por JSSS street improvement .

In order to keep , within the appropriations the! executive board had to dispense with employes and cut expenses. I will here mention some employes under last administration which have been dispensed with: Clerk and stenographer to the may or. 50 per month. Clerk to public service board, $65 per month. Two asistant sanitary inspectors at $55 per month each. Two asistant tax collectors at $75 per month each. " Just here let me state , that no ap propriation have been made by this board, although contracts for the work were authorized, to. do the $15, 000 work on the septic plant, or , to pay to fill up the rock quarryr which; will cost $23,300. and costs in the McManus suit. Tlie .contract has been made with the Railroad company to fill uP the' rock, quarry and the woTlc on tfteepttc tanSs plant will be done aa soon as cool weather ets in. The1 suit against the rdck quarry nd he. eprrc plant makes it imperative that the city make hese expenditures. These burdens were handed down to us. Sonar? Need That Must Be Met. Now let me call your attention to some needs of the city which must be met, and the sooner the better: First: A sufficient water supply for the city. The city has spent over a half mil lion dollars in putting up a first-class water plant. It now owes on that plant $426,000. This plant has a' pumping capacity of over 13,000,000 gallons daily, and a Alteration capac ity of 5,000.000 gallons daily, and it is supplied by a stream which fur nishes only fT250,000 gallons daily. While I am writing this paper the water is three feet below the dam. The city is pumping for dairy use more water than is running into the pond. We have been forced to stop sprinkling the streets to keep off a water famine. The water board is trusting to providence to relieve the situation, as the only quickly available source of temporary supply is Briar Creak, and the water board has been 50,004)0 5 percent, due 10,000 5 per cent due 3918 1920 1920 75,000 5 5 5 5 4 4 per cent, due 40,000 250,000 per cent, per cent, per cent, per cent. due 1922 due 1929 due 1929 due 1921 due 1933 due 1935 due 1935 due 1937 due 193 7 due 1939 50,000 40,000 100,000 4 1-2 p. c. 210,0000 4 1-2 p.

C 35,000 4 1-2 p- c 140,000 4 1-2 p. c 100.000 5 peT cent. inft Afln i 1-5! n - due 1939 $1,340,000 Informed that if It attempts to use the water in Briar Creek in an emer gency it will be enjoined. This water plant can be made a fine asset of the city, but to make it such the sewer system will have to be extended. The cost of getting water from the river is estimated at about $275,000, 000, and the nece&sarvsev-er will cost several hundred thousand dollars. The number of consumers in the city is only about 3,000. Because we have not the water and se ver only domes- reglsJL at Julius Heller's - shoe store, j BuniTTiad 'hidden , under a blahket- sprang upon him and 5ther -came ecu alter iMJuagutm , - t3 New Home of the Southern - tic consumers of water whefhavv sew ers pay a profit to the city. I must here mention, too, that th? city is sued in a number of cases because the water from "Town" Creek is all being consumed oy the city. The chairman of the county commls-voneri, Mr. W. M. Long, and his partner, have brought a suit against the city, on the ground that the water in that er-t-k is being consumed by the cuy. .ind is therefore taken from their mill. The taxable property in the city be ing only $15,500,000 as above stated, and the cfty having already Issued bonds -for $1,310,000 you have not the power to isue b n to go- to the river for water, to say nothing of sewers, until the Legislature shall give the au thrity. It is not wise or "progressive," in my opinion, for the city to contract another debt to be liquidated by bonds,-or increase the city's burdens until the city gets the money to ob tain a fuppiv of water and extend its sewers, so as to 'take care of the ex pense o ithe slant. Anotner very pressing need is more public schools. The schools in thi city have not the capacity to seat the children now enrolled, and the num ber ofvsehool children Increases about 400 to 500 each year. It Is altogether unnecessary for me to remind you that there is needed several hundred thousand dollars for street Improvements. The two creeks which run through the city are- a menace to the health of the city. They should be so widened, deepned and dredged as to carry off the water and prevent overflods. The danger to the nealth of the city is in creasing daily. This board should urge the Legislature to make a aw requiring the county to put these creeks in sanitary condition, and. tax the cost against the property along the creek. The benefit to the conti guous property would doubtless ex ceed the cost. The property owners along these creeks ar holding up the city for heavy damages on account of filfth which is put in the streams whether it is put in by the city or not, while they are keeping the creeks and gruonds along them in an unsanitary condition, and endangering the health of the whole community. The city has been uniformly mulched in dam ages whenever sued, while the county is protected by law, it being a, part of the State government, and free from such suits, and therefore this work should be done by the county. Besides, it is a fact that the residents citizens of Mecklen burg county, and the preservation of their health Is of real and practical value to the State and county. It may therefore be possible to get the coun ty to co-operate in getting the law passed and the work done. Ways and Mean of Getting Improve ments. Now, as to the ways and .means of getting these, 'needed improvements you will notice from the foregoing statements that the county levies on the city folks and property, 20 cents on $100 to support convicts which are used to build county roads,' who are more than self-supporting. Also 10 cents on $100 to buy material for coun aio All this is by special legisla tion. The county outside of the city navs only 96 2-3 cents on $100 taxes, and the city pays $2.16 2-3 on $100 and this 20 cents -for convicts ,and 10 cents, for road fund can and should be taken off the city property. This done the city could more -than pay the interest on a million dollars of bonds without adding any further burden to the city property. . ' The present method of listing and assessing property is an inniquity. The value at which property is as sessed in the county and city varies from 10 per cent to 90 per cent of its actual value, -only the values in the city are higher than values on prop erty outside of the city. This Iniquity and discrimination, in values is an -effective way to make one man pay four or five times as mucn taxes to me county and State on the same amount of property as a man favored by a low .valuation pays. . The county commissions are utterly helpless to correct the evil. I recommend that the Legislature be asked by the city, which pays 2-3 of the county taxes, and 3-4 of the State taxes, to make provision for an assessing and equal ization board to be composed of three salaried men, two to be appointed by the city and Charlotte township and one by the county. In this connection J wlllT state that we are having a tax map made of all real estate. in the-city, sethat all property can be -intelligently and fairly listed and valued, which will be- ready for use in ' 1911, when nroperty will be, revalued," etc I would also recommend Xthat a tax f fsr tr nftr .rofli n out oil, Bowers i v" . m . . . a.

Democrats Find It Difficult To Decide On a Suitable Man In. New York State To Down Stimson for Governor Jus tice Gerard Looming Up--Shepherd Denies That He Is Not a Cwdidate Tammany Hall Seems To Favor Jus tice DowlingAlton B. ParkerSouhd Keynote Speech. (By Associated' Press ) Rochester, n. t., Sept. 29. With 213 of Its 450 votes under his control, Charles F. Murphy, of Tam many Hall, was in a position to dom inate the Democratic State convention here today. Upon Mr. Murphy's use of this power, that came to him through the coalition of the delegates from New York, Kings, Queens and Erie counties, depends the composi tion of the ticket that will be placed in. the field to oppose the candidates dominated yesterday by the Republi cans. Thus far no up-State combination has developed strong enough to threatenthe supremacy of the leader. The question was not one of the Tar many leader's power, however, but of his disposition to use it. While the supporters of Edward M. Shepard and the several up-State candidates acknowledge that the nomination of their man depends upon Mr. Murphy's word, they bore in mind his reiterated declaration that the up-State dele gates would name the ticket. But few centured to predict how broad an interpretation the Tammany leader would give this promise. There were reports early In the day even that the New York leaders had made up ther minds that one of their own organization men would make as strong a run as any of the outside candidates and that the confidence of a Democratic victory this fall was so strong that they would conclude to nominate from their own bailiwick. THurphy Doubts Shepard. Mr. Murphy was said to be weighing Shepard's availability with increasing doubt. The Tammany leader was credited with? the -opinion that it would axs difficult to convince voters that the Brooklyn t attorney was the choice of any representative rorces up-iaie ana that if the Democratic candidate this vear was to run, -with the supposea handicap of a Tammany affiliation he might as well be an out ana out. Tammany man. It was a question in his mind, the representative went on, Just how closejy the voters would as sociate Sheiard and Tammany. , To convince the New York leaders that there was a real demand for Mr Shepard above the Bronx, his friends were busy this morning obtaining tne signatures of representatives from up the state a statement favoring his candidacy. The last conference adjourned at 1 o'clock last night with the question of candidates unsettled. Efforts to in duce Congressman James S. Havens to withdraw failed. Thomas M. Os borne, of Auburn, steadfastly refused to desert Mr. Shepard in whose favor alone he is willing to accept second place. It was still anybody's race be fore the convention met this after noon. The events scheduled for to day are temporary organization, speech of Alton B. Parker, temporary chairman, and the appointment of committees. The first session will be gin at noon. The committee on cre dentials has but cy-- contest to decide but it is a lively one. The faction of the Albany county Democracy headed by Robert E. Whalen. a young at torney, contests two districts in the county at present controlled by State Committeeman Patrick E. McCabe. Broad Direct Primary Plank. The task of turning out a satisfac tory platform appears to be giving Edward M. Shepard and his assistants considerable trouble. The Democratic league and the progressive Democ racy have united in demanding a di rect primary plank broad enough to attract those who are not satisfied with the efforts of the Republican convention in this direction. There is discussion about which plank should be the main one. Some declare that the tariff should be held up as the principal Issue, with the high cost of living a corollary, others favor direct nominations, while a third group wants the party to push for ward its denunciation" of the "new na tionalism" which -will be interpreted to mean malnlv principles advocated bv Theodore Roosevelt. Along with thi will be a defense of the, supreme court from Colonel Roosevelt's recent attacks. ' f Shepard is Eliminated. ROCHESTER, N. Y Sept. 29. When the delegates, got together In the hotel corridors again the Shepard talk was heard In every corner. Mr. Shepard was said to have the hearty support of Alton B. Parker, William' F. Sheehan, Thomas M. Osborne and; the branch of the New York Democ racy represented byjruch men as Jus tice Morgan O'Brien. Nevertheless, the steady trend against Shepard was the one conspicuous movement of the morning. 1 The elimination of Shepara thus1 presaged left the leaders witn no eminent candidate. Mr. Murphy sum moned his lieutenants and some of the up-State leaders to his rooms in the hotel early In the day and the con ference that followed took up first the questionSrhether the nominee should ibe from New York oir an up State districts- " ! . The name of Supreme Court Justice James Gerard-of New York, ; which hag i anked In tbe list of possible., can- J didates ever since -U became, known he would be acceptable to ..W. .
