Jne Yaa jl r,n Mix Moalhs J'ouij.: Mouth A.MOCXT IT Wil l, It INK We. luivo been asked to state ex actly tin? amount or nmaev which the hill authorizing the city lathers to pay not morn than one tenth of Olle if. itii anil noi less man one lietlt of one per cent from ih tiiir' city treasury would raise for the cham ber ! c:wiawe, provided tl peo ple rntrfy it ne-xt Tuesdav, and also the increased tax rate. On thin prwnt valuation of (he tax able pro,perty of Wilson $2iMiuu.n.ti at one tenth, ut one per ceut, the amount would he $:".il'u. On ihe basis at oae thirtieth of one per cent the aiuouut would he Jii.B't'i.iiT. We, understand the Chamber of CoinhMTee has pledged the board of aldermen that it would not ask tor morn thus the Uuter ligure. We un derstand also that it will require a tax levy of : 1-2 to four coats on each one hundred dollars valuation to raise $8,67.ifit. The present rule is "s cent!). . This would increase tlieraie to 11 1-a'O 2 cents. As we have slat-' t'd heforv, Hit. tax rale of Wilson is lower than any town of its size in the country, and if we shall grow our peouh must contribute siiincHiiiix thereto.' other towns advertise anil pay' Ur it out ot their treasuries..

An industry that our people are not willing to put their money in does not appeal very much to the outsider, other towns not only invito indus tries, but grant them concessions aid in addition take stock in them. t SOCKCi: OK (iKAKT Ml. frank Pane, Chairman of the IliKhwuy Commission made the state ment yesterday that paviiif; in cities and towns is the source of Kraft, not on acctttint of the officials of the city, but on account of a lack of knowledge as to now miu-h it costs and th quality of the work. Ilia also said that 'n did not intend io convey the idea thai contractors are dishonest, but beinn human and desiring to make money simply charged for their work, and did noi refuse to take the money. The vi'hainuan then went on lo explain the method or inspection in Hie state, and the purchase of tmi- natj, anik- sain that the work was done at tile lowest possible cost. The work that the Highway Com mission is doing, and for which the taxpayers of-the state are payinsi. in both ciiy and county is a valii ble experience for the people of l In state and furuishes th.;m with an op port tiniiy to secure knowledit whkll otherwise they minhi, never ai'iiuire. The Mayors of cities and members of boards of aldermen, should acquaint, themselves with the information which is available in tin-oftici- of the Highway Cotninission. and in this way they will In to i-ulciilate the cost of work, realize, weii llle contractors i ha rutins more, than tht-y should abb VIHg.
