COFFERS ARE FULL By the happy suggestion of Alder man Phifer to give a 1 per cent dis count to all taxpayers paying theflr taxes between December 7?December 28 inclusive, the city, up to last night, had added to its coffe^rs the sum of $79,17L12. • As stated yesterday in The News, it will not now be necessary for the city to borrow money to meet Its obligations the first of the year. Today is the last day of grace, and hundreds are taking advantage of It. The line, in and. out of Tax Col lector Wilson’s office, reminds one of the great grand opera lines. In New York, which often extend lor blocks. Mr. Wilson took in the sum of $41,- 4fin.64 yesterday. Up to the hour of going to press, this afternoon, fully that much had gone over thee ounter today. The idea of suggested by Col. Phifer was good. Perhaps it came down the “think channel” associated with Dr. Stagg, for the latter said to Col. Phifer once: “Some folks will discount their own bills of you five them a rebate.” " The total amount received up to last night—$79,171.12—$13,195.18 goes to thee Ity schools,^ leaving the city a net of $65,975.94 to raise. This amount is several thousand dollars more than that received up to the last day of payment on any previous year. At a meeting of the aldermen sev eral weeks ago the city treasurer was empowered to borrow money with which to pay the Interest on the city’s bonds. This Interest amounts to about $37,000 but the re ceipts yesterday were so large that the loan will not be necessary. This interest fall due in New York on January 1, 1912, and a check tor that amount will be forwarded to day. Officer Walter B. Orr was stationed in the office of the treasurer last night to guard the city’s vault.

The Manufacturers’ Record says: Perhaps the most important piece ol work accomplished during, the £>ast year w'as the completion of the Santa i'e’s line between Coleman and Ama‘- rillo, Texas, but that being finished, the company is apparently disposed to await improved conditions before un dertaking more con&truction. Another and perhaps eqimlly important work is the completion of the Florida and EJast Coast railway’s extension to Key West, which did not require such a length of construction, but demanded work of a very difficult and unusual character. Still another notable piece of work by the same company is the beginning of the branch to Lake Okeechobee, Fla. In the.coal regions the Consolidation Coal Company has completed the San dy Valley aiid Elkhom rjiilway froa the Chesapeake and Ohio railway at the mouth of Shelby creek to Penkins, La., 38 miles, track being laid with 90- pound rails and the road being other wise built in a strictly first-class and up-to-date manner. The Louisville and Nashville railroad will complete its line from Jackson, Ky., into the same coal region, about 100 miles, this y,ear, much construction on it being already done. The same company has also built considerable coal road on its line in Harlan county, Kentucky .Another im portant coal road under construction, and that wil be completed in 1912, is the Guckhannon and Northern from Rivesville, W. Va., along the Monon- gahela river to the Pennsylvania boundary, whence it is to connect with the Monongahela railroad, several miles north. The Western Maryland, 'although delayed by difficulties in tun nel construction which could not be foreseen, will have its Connellsville extension finished in a month or two, by February, it is expected, the track already being laid from Cumberland to the tunnel through Big Savage mountain. The completion of the Galveston- Houston Electric railway in Texas is an important piece of traction work which demands mention, and it prom ises before long to be a double-track road. The iron ore road out of Long view, Texas, has also been completed. Arthur Stilwell continued to push work on his line from Kansas City to the west coast of Mexico, laying nearly 120 miles of track in Texas since last year. Te importance of Pensacola, Fla., as a port is shown by the activity dis played by several rEiilroads in endeav oring to reach there with through lines. The Gulf, Florida and Alabama already has considerable track, having acquir ed a lumber railroad reaching well up into Alabama. Then the Meridian and Deepwater Is building to Meridi. n, Ml&s., east to connect with the first- named line and steps are being taken to construct an entirely independent road from Memphis to Pensacola. Much work has been accomplished on the Piedmont Traction Company’s line |T^ the Carolinas. Already 25 miles of tvack are complete from Charlotte to G astonia, N. C., and on the rest of the line from there down into South Caro- liaa much of>the.grading is done, and a big addition to the trackage is ex pected in 1912. Considerable construct tion is also expected to result in the new year from the recent deal of th^ Norfolk and Southern railroad for sev eral lines s(wth and west of Raleigh, N. C., as a line to Concord and Char lotte ie desired. Out in Oklahoma the Wichita i^'alls route continuefi to push northwest, having laid about 70 miles of track this year and having much more in prospect for next. Texas still keeps in the lead in the matter of railroad construction, having l^uilt practically 425 miles of line ia 1911 and proposing 688 miles for 1912. While this is cons'iderably less con struction than the L^ne Star state had in the last two years, it is in excess of what was built In either 1903, 1904, 1905 or 1908. Next in length are 215 miles built in Florida, then comes Oklahoma with 144; Kentucky and North Carolina with 124 each; Arkans as with 115, and Georgia 107 miles. Other state® report , various amounts from 20 miles up to nearly 100, a vei'y modest series of records, but, in view, of conditions, not without encourage ' ment. “BEST ON EARTH.” Thia is the verdict or K.
