The remarks of "Taxpayer" in laiit week 8 Independent should not be left unanswered. The "hat wager" which he tries to put up for 7% bluff I care nothing for. He might be a personal friend and if so we might reirain from criticism, while remarks over a nam de plume are open for the careful scrutiny of every one. I would preter therefore not to know the identity of "Taxpayer." I am the more surprised at his remarks however when he asserts himself to be a large property holder and conse quently a large payer of funds into tho public treasury. His two-penny pessi mistic remarks were quite misleading in this respect. His first article was largely against sewers while his second one leaves the sewer question for that of the Broad street bridge nnd makes it a "bugaboo" and deplores the ne glect of drainage or sewerage. Why not be consistent? Now as to the Broad stre3t bridge. Is there a need for it? Mr. Howard offers to donate enough of his lands across the creek for any manufacturing enterprise that will employ a certain amount of labor. It is certainly not to Mr. Howard's inter est to vote for a measure that will en able him to donate his property. None of the other councilmen who voied for the bridge donation have any possible personal ends to serve. Let us go a step further. The Keystone Powder Company have invested fifty thousand dollars in their plant. They employ regularly eleven laborers—much of the time more. None of these receive less than two dollars a day—some of them more. They pay them for labor alone nearly six hundred dollars a month and about seven thousand dollars a year. What becomes of this money? Nearly every dollar of it is left with the mer - chants of Emporium. Where does the money come from? It is picked up from anywhere in the United States and brought here for the benefit of our people. This bridge and road leads to their property. And yet "Taxpayer" calls this a private bridge that benefits only a few. A hundred dollars is a mighty small investment for the bor ough to make even for this much pros perity. But there is still more in sight. Nothing has been said of the profits of the business that goes into the hands of the stock holders; this we have no means of setimating, but we do know that it will be largely left with the peo ple of Emporium. Further still: this bridge and road makes easy access to a large agricultural area. As it is now it accommodates eight farmers who each produce from the soil and are creators of wealth to the amount of not less thau three hundred dollars a year, (one man claims to have sold that much butter in a year) some of them five hundred dollars a year. But put it at three hundred dollars and we have twenty-four hundred dollars a year that are wrested from mother earth and left where? Why, almost entirely with the people of Emporium, and yet this Broad street bridge is only a private benefit. But let us go still further. Open up a little over a mile of new road an ex tension of that now built and it will ac commodate and make easy of access the farmers of thirty-two families, the combined products of which will crowd hard onto ten thousand dollars each year. Where does it come from? Why, out of the ground and out of the mus cles and brains of men along this road. Where does the money goto? Almost exclusively into the coffers of the peo ple of Emporium. There is room along this road for fully four times this many more farms. For all this benefit the borough of Emporium pays the liberal (?) sum of one hundred dollars. It would have been a much wiser admin istration if the borough of Emporium had built the entire bridge instead of lying supinely by until urged to give the pittance of one hundred dollars. Why will men be so blind to their own interests as to persistently oppose prosperity waiting to follow into their very doors. Suppose we compare a little. How many people are accom modated by the roads between here and Sterling Run. Beginning at the Wiley farm house, including Britton Hill, Oak Hill, Hunts Run, and Chapman Hill, and leave out Cameron town, we find but twenty-six families. See the roads and bridges that are built for them, between Emporium and Beechwood school house, along West Creek, there are forty-three families, Between the Portage bridge at upper end of W. N. Y. & P. yard, and Sizerville school house there are but twenty families. With those comparisons how can any one consistently say that Broad street bridge and road are not worthy of the liberal support of the borough of Em porium. How can anyone begrudge the small amount of one hundred dol lars when such benefits are derived thereby? It is gratifying to know, howeuer, that our business men are not all blind to their own interests, eighty of whom, not including the subscription of the council, haves subscribed and PAID a little over seventeen hundred dollars for the building of the Broad street bridge and road. Some have subscrib ed five hundred dollars, some two hun dred and fifty, some one iiundred, some fifty, and so on down to five dollars each. These are the men who are a benefit to a town and community, who can see where to invest a dollar that they may gain more, not the faultfind ers and the obstructionist who dig in the earth and bury their talents. More might be added but this is already too lengthy. Respectfully, A HEAVY TAXPAYER. I PLEASE REMEMBER-That we do NOT begrudge the time spent showing you our goods, whether you buy or not.
