PRESTON, MAYOR M'NINCH RKVIEVVS THE MATT BR. Mayor McNInch addressed the (ollow ing Interesting communication to the committee: . To the Honorable Members of the Great er Charlotte Charter Extension Com mittee: Gentlemen : I hand you herewith a letter received rrpm our Hetrator and Representatives Z ?:Til JFZ&L0 L Lr .city limits. This letter was written In re sponse to my renuest for definite Infor matlon in regard to their purposed iourse of action in this mutter, which la if such vital Importance to our com uunliy. I desired this Information, be lieving that it I necessary so that you can shape your action -hitelligeutly. 8mce their Mter was written I have conferred' with these . gentlemen, our Representatives, and am . Indulging the hjpe that they may yet give' their con stituents what they ask, namely,-the two and one-half mile extension believing tluit as the mnttr is more clearly under stood by them they will be fully respon sive to tne oy lar larger mass ot ine TFYZftJrZS: oommmlty wblch cl y and wsteV bond.Wd ruu the police. t .m thlATMin,! ..., nre and health department, to say noth JLWJPIXS JSJXVSl ing of all the other necessities and ds- you to nave in mmu in your efforts uie XZ'WJKu??, ?L?.: other reason, than that the only formal expression in regard to this matter, by luuh nirwini nn,i .mi.ri..i,,i luiiu. . .... .i .... n Ihuf ha nulu r.m.ini both oftlclnl Bnd semi-official bodies have been In favor of th two and one half mile limit, nnd. in addition. I verily believe, that nine-tenth , of the ltlw within the proposed municipality heartily favor the greater extension, thill furth er, I venture the assertion that not one hundred cltisens would at the ballot box cast a vote against the two and one-half mile proposition and in favor of the two mile extension. And, as 1 understand the situation, nearly all of those who were at first opposed to any extension now de. lre the two and one-half mile limit In preference to any less, but desire the Kln.h. iirZ Z TEh .ii Tw u 'wU be staanstert. All this might have iwli.l t T tnt.r,lt nplf Ibn done and still we could not have Personally. I have no interest in thlSiITT. J i.i. u t,i. matter except as a cltlsen and an rtk!SPY I'V. W .nv denartmont no rim who loves his cltv. deslrlna- tho nreo- ent confined limits to have Justice. My i ...... ----- - ----- i.." . original idea oi extension was to mciudo the township, by thorough, etc, Put .this I gave up freely the moment the com mittee 'of ten, appointed from the com mittee of one hundred, made It report. I thought then, and still believe, that It la best for all of us to bow our will to that report, especially so since the alder men on two separate occasions sanction ed that report. Surely out ot a vupposed population of forty thusand cltisens in the proposed city, a few hundred should aeiulescftand go hand in hand with the la nre majority. . In this proposed extension I have felt and still ml that the main Question wa one of equitable tax assessment and that this could and would, b almost guaranteed by providing 'a board of tax s-nsora sufficiently large in number and represent! ve in character so as to safe guard all Interests, having. an especial ears for the unimproved, non-productive values a well aa for the manufacturing Interests. v . - . I fully recognise the Importance of the nianufaoturlng interests to our commutt . Ity, knowing that in a large measure our prosperity (s bated on their success and tharwe owe them much consideration and should see, that their interests are properly' cared for. This should be done not only In Justice to those now with us, 1 "nit also to encourage other manufac , luring er.terpii-ts to be established in V cur community. I feel most , keenly on ' Mr nubject of , extension, and of the involved question ; of taxation, and I trust you will pardon the length ot this letter and permit mo to state with some detail, my views on this tax matter. In my onlnon, our : small -eity has . been., f or ' many yeara hearing an Improper number of. oblige ilcn, and that the proposed" - extension ,' , will, In a small way, help us to overcome the disadvantage the-clty.be suffered hy reason of it efforts In behalf of the county and township, which have been so-unselfishly made In the past. True. . It was Intended to help our ctty, and no doubt did in a measure, but U was so- companled by secrnce much greater than any Corresponding benefit', I refer t f a -pleesure to tell our readers about g.

A an illmtratlon of tlie optrctlun of the above dlmulvantagpi a(?aitiMt. the city t bea to iURgest that the city for the lust quarter of a century hue paid out a total of probably between even , hundred thousand and eight hundoed thousand dollars to build maendum rouds - ouuilde of the city, and during the lout yar paid for thfi purpoe 'the turn of 110,000 and nt the same time was forced io ex reed ltt own income largely- In order to do even a part ot the thing actually necessary for the good of the city. And during all of the Jong period hereinbe fore referred to, many eltUeiM have been paying their pro rata of the tax to build the county roads, but have been unable to get treet. improvements In front of their ,own premi within the city. There was a good reason for dolna these things, no doubt, but is ther not to be a limit? Have we not now done -.our full dntyf i Every cltlxon ' know , that there has not been an administration during the lat iwenty-flve year but that has created a debt. . for .which bond have subsequently been Issued, In , order to conduct the atraira ' oi tne mmiiim Hons.

A an evidence that the county Interest have been prospered I call attention to the fact that Our. tax rate is only M 2-3 per one hundred dollar, in Mecklenburg county, whereas the .valuation; in York county, 8outh ..Carolina, which adjoins us, has a tax rate oi si.w per nunurwu. I doubt if there is another exlrtlnsreon ution tika ihu m all this Broad land un less, indeed. It may be. inspmo , other North Carolina, city which , believes it is heiplngTuelt In this way.!

We all know the present valuation ot unimproved suburban proporty Is nomi nal by comparison with the actual value, tropefty which 1 held at from ten to sixteen d liars per. front foot ts returned for taxation within the two and one-half mile limit a acreage. I feel that such interests should pay tax at least to tho city on present valuations, simply as an insurance, if for no othor reason, for future progressive development and a prosperous financial condition In this community m which they desire to bene fit their interests. Certainly tho advant ages to accrue from the .newer city will under reasonable conditions return value received to those taken m. unless mere Is a satisfactory adjustment ot this tax j, J ftnd a' ppor extension ot the & . cltl.ePn who, hope, for any benefit for himself from the municipality mutt expect to give up such idea. More, we must, as f believe, prepare to do without many . absolute necessities. , Our debt limit is practically reached unless we are willing to Increase the tax rato. We pay, as I believe, sufficient taxes now. but are . permitted to spend for municipal purpose proper, slightly over one-third of the sum paid by our cltlacns. The total tax pa'd by our cltlsens Is K.16 2-3 per hundred dollars, but we got tor municipal purposes, not counting .the city schools, only eighty cents per hun dred or a fraction over one-third.

Smith and is said to be the boat that has evolved from his pen since his great success with .'.'Robin Hood." "The Free Lance" Is described as being a real comic opera, packed full of dashing and melodious music fur above the average of what is heard upon tho comic opera stage to-day, and livened with entertaining comedy situations and extremely funny dialogue and complications, presenting to the eye beautiful pictures of scenic settings and costumes. ,'OUR NEW MINISTER." Thero isn't much to tell about tho average country town that Denman Thompson and Geo. V. Ryer haven't told in their Hanlscrabblc comedy, "Our New Minister," which Charlotte sees for the tirst time. m Monday, Jan. 388. The authors make the town church tho scene of their main action, but tho springs of human Influence they reveal In their story are equally as pertinent to communities that nev er had a church. Though brimming over with comic phases of Incident common to a country town, tho play rights manage to steal Into the con sciousness of the auditor a wish for a broader Christianity than prevails in most small communities and settle ments. In this play the old pastor Is of the old blue-law disciplinary school. The new minister is less se vere, more humane, a man more with an eye to what la tender, even though the help he would extend falls with out the pale of what narrow tradltlim says la the circumscribed circle of tho duties of a pastor.
