other leading cities and towns of the
State, is regarded as of first impor
tance, and the people seem a unit
in wanting some sort of a provision
ty which the matter can, be entered
upon in a comprehensive way. There
was, however,' some objection toward
making .property owners pay , a 'pro
rata share of the cost of macadam,'
which heretofore has -been ; laid on
streets in the discretion of the Board
of Aldermen without- charge tbMibtitt
IfigTrroperty ""owners, . and. jl t3ie- coh
frerende to be held this week some
plan Will be devised by which this
will probably be Eliminated. It is
pointed out that the city now. spends
something like $40,000 on its streets,
and this amount annually in the fu
ture would pay the Interest and pro
vide a sinking fund for the final liqui
dation of a very large amount of
bonds, which could be used entlrelyi
hj the city without any cost at all to
property owners, the city looking to
increased valuations for taxes to re
imburse It for . the money so spent.
The difficulty which seems to beset
this proposition is that there is an
entirely new assessment next June,
and not another for four years. Ry
next June it would be Impossible to
get much of the street work under
way, and there would be comparative
ly little Increase 'of tax values before
another four years as the re-assess
ments each year are only where there
has been some construction work on
the property. It is suggested, how
ever, that a special -act could be se
cured from the Legislature authorize
Ing the city to make a new assess
ment of property each year, and In
that way the increased values would
yield a taxable revenue to the city as
the work progresses.
There Is also a sentiment In favor
of having the work of permanent
street Improvement undertaken by a
commission, divorced from politics
and not subject to change of admin
istrations. In this way as the money
was being expended the members of
the commission would be getting bet
ter better acquainted with the bestl

disappearance has his absence for a

money building
Just when their usefulness was at its
best. It is also suggested that a fair
basis for requiring property owners
to pay a pro rata snare of the more
permanent improvement such as brick
or stone, would be to assess them the
difference in cost between macadam
and the better grade of material used.
It is recognized now that It is very
hard to tell the value of macadam per
block, because of the lack of uniform
ity of the blocks, b,ut if the macadam
was let out by contract on a uniform
basis. It would be very easy for the
city to kn7 what the macadanrwas
costing them.
The matter of street Improvement
in g:eral is being widely discussed
and out of all the discussion it is ex
pected that some plan .will be evolved
by which the improvement may be
had on a just and equitable basis for
both the city and property owners. In
the meantime there are few days to
be lost as the General Assembly is
nearing the end of Its session, and any
arrangements for submitting the mat
ter to a vote of 'the people wjll have
to be meade quickly.
