104,000 city lots, in round number?, lif these

and of these 21,000 are built upon.
The railroad companies pay no local tax, though
they contributed about $300,000 a .year Oo the city
treasury iiuliroctly. . ho meadow lote, an* unsalable
at any prie?*, and have to to? rated at small value
for taxation. The 21,000 hoioses bear the main
burden of taxaii??n. The realty in the city ia
owned by less than 1 7,000 individuale. The ratio
Of property owners to a fraction below one In ten
of the total population. Any one judging from
these facts would imagine that a community of
interest would make the property-owner* unite ia
favor of low taxes. They have a maj-ority of the
votes. Estimating one voter out of five, there
could not be more lhan 32,798 voters in the
city. But, tho property-?,wners do not vote one

Hearing the danger point. The valuation pla?-ed
on the property by the assessors was only

a very high valuation. This tact has b>en recog?

they demanded a reduction of their mortgage?),
because their rules do not allow- loans iu excess
of 50 pej- cent of value. The actual value of
the ratable property is probably not ?JrtO,000,O?O
