THE COUNTY TAX.
K.
MONTGOMERY FlKj
SHOT.
ANOTUKK
Me OetneUsbes the Commissioner's Defense
And Exposes tbe Kalslty of
. Their Figures.
Ees. Intelligences : I see- in the
Examiner of last week an article purport
ing te be an editorial headed "A Werd te
R. Montgomery." I would be content te
let it pass unnoticed if I had net been in
formed that it was manufactured in the
commissioners' office,and published at
their instance, aa their best defence of
the excessive and unnecessary levy of a
three-mill tax this year and last. But
why this masquerading ? The taxpayers
universally, se tar as I have heard them
sp3ak, denounce it as an outrage and they
have a right te expect of their public ser
vants when their stewardship is assailed
te make their defense in a responsible and
unequivocal manner, divested of all dis
guise, under theirjewn signatures. J am
net at all surprised at the commission
ers declining te assume the authorship
of the article in questien, knowing
as they de that its statements
and conclusions are incorrect from
beginning te end. Neither am I much
surprised at the Examiner for becoming
its sponsor. I have no doubt the comme
dere feels under obligations for the benefit
of $1,152 of this tax money given him last
year, and in the gratitude of bis heart he
feels that it is his duty te come te the
reseue in the present dilemma.
I have no pleasuie in this controversy,
nor have I any personal or sinister object
te subserve by it ; neither have I any
feeling ether than of a friendly character
tewaid the commissioners personally. It
would afford me infinitely mere pleasure,
if their management would warrant it, te
write in commendation of it.
I shall net fellow the Examiner's
tedious array of figures through their
devious manipulations ; they are net in
tended te elucidate te the matter at issue
but te obscure it and cover up as much of
the large surplus as possible. I shall refer
te only a few of the most glaring misrep
resentations and erroneous conclusions
drawn from them. The first is as fellows :
" The balance remaining in the county
treasury, when Robt. Montgomery's
beard of county commissioners went out
of office, together with all outstanding tax
was barely enough te pay the county's
expenses te May 1, 1882, about which
time the taxes for 1882 began te be paid
in." A reference te the treasurer's report
of 1882 will verify the faet that "Rebert
Montgomery's beard," as they call
it, left an unexpended balanea,
ineludiing outstanding tax, &e.;
at the end of their term of $115,590.98.
And yet the Examiner has the recklessness
te reiterate the same misstatement, as fol fel
lows : ' 'The present beard of commissioners
started in with net one dollar mere than
enough te keep them afloat until May 1."
I will come te their rescue here and say
that it could net be possible for them te
spend that amount in four months. This
would be galloping through the treasury
at the fearful rate of $346,000 a year.
Then they add aud substract this array
of figures, a while longer and arrive at the
following erroneous conclusien: "The
surplus by May 1st, 1884 could by no pos
sibility exceed $85,000 or $90,000." New,
I think if the figures for this calculation
were properly handled the result will shew
that the surplus will be mere than twice
$90,000.
First : Take the balance en hand at the
commencement of last year, $115,000, add
te this last year's tax $267,000 and this
year's tax $270,000 and we have $652,000,
which they have taken from the taxpayers
for last year's and this year's expenses.
New we will be liberal and allow them
their raised claim of $228,000 for last year,
as they paid some $7,000 fef bends that
were due, besides a let of bogus claims
that their predecessors had rejected. Out
of this, and for this year we will allow
them $200,000 which they told your repre
sentative would be their average yearly
expense, when he called en them for in
formation en this subject. This added te
last year's will make $428,000 for their
two years' expenses. This taken from the
whole amount received will leave a balance
of $224,000 at the end of this year. New
allow them $40,000 te begin the new year
with, which is quite sufficient. Of course
there will be a deficiency for a couple
of months, but it is in the interest of
economy that this deficiency should be
supplied by temporary leans ; it has been
the custom aud a judicious one, as it
saves the county the less of keeping the
required amount en hand the whole year,
when it can only be used a couple of
months. Take this $40,000 from the bal
ance en hand at the end of the
year and there will be left $182,
000, which is the surplus, instead of $85,
000 or $90,000, which they have manipu
lated these figures te show.
Here I will recapitulate my statement
a year age, as the figures are at hand,
that a two mills tax last year was mere
than suflicient. Take the balance en hand
s&3ndef the previous year, $115,000,
and add te it "$178, (KW, uff-prpduet of a
two mills tax, and they would have haa
$293,000; take from this $228,000 the
amount they new claim that they spent
last year aud they would have had a bal
ance of $65,000 te commence this year
with . I may add here that a levy of one and
one half mills would have been quite suffi
cient this year instead of three.
I will quote thtn once mere : " Rebert
Montgomery's county tax is $33. $11 of
that he thinks he should net pay, a two
mills levy being sufficient, he pays the col
lector ; needs that $11 in his business,
borrows it a year, pays 66 cents and sinks
under the burthen." They are disingenu
ous in this as well as in all their
statements ; they have taken my
$11 from me two years before they
propose te use it, and they are exceedingly
ungenerous in net allowing me two years
interest te complain about instead of one.
My case is that of every taxpayer in the
county, but the cruel&t cut of all is the
ironical closing words of the above quo
tation, " and sinks beneath its burthen."
This is adding insult te injury.
New it is immaterial whether they take
$11 or 11 cents from any one, when it is
one-third mere than is needed or they
have a right te take, rt is upon the plea
that is taking but "little" from any one
that many otherwise, tolerably fair men
have become shipwrecxedV Jby purloining I
puuiie money tnac nas own oennaea te
their care. If the commissioners have any
pleasure in the calculation of interest in
this cennectiJBthey had better ascertain
what it weuldne en this surplus of $182,
000 for a year And a half, for that is about
the average time they will have before they
can use it, and parade the result, $16,380,
in the Examiner, and tauntingly say te the
saxpayers, " this is all the less you have
nustained except probably some inconve incenve
Hence, "and sink under the burthen."
The question might Arise why the last
beard of commissioners allowed se large a
surplus te accumulate at the end of their
term. The reason 'was this : they
purposed taking the advantage of
what appeared te be a redundancy of
money in the country aad refund for tea
yean $295,000 of the county debt, that
being the maximum allowed by the act of
Assembly under which the bends were
issued, and as my colleagues had doubts
as te our ability te negotiate the whole
amount at 4 per cent, interest it was
deemed prudent te provide for the con
tingency of a partial failure. But as all
the bends were readily taken we paid ever
$43, uw of tne remainder of the debt and
considered that it would better subserve
the interest of the taxpayer te let the
balance en hand go ever te the next year
and give them the benefit of it in a reduc
tion of their tax, as money te them gen
erally was worth mere than 4 per cent.,
but in this we were disappointed, as our
successors in their wisdom increased the
levy instead of reducing it.
There is a small discrepancy between
the amount of dead surplus that their
levy of last year and this will give them
in my last communication. The fault is
theirs net mine. I took the estimate they
gave the representative of the Intelli
gencer, $200,000, as their average yearly
expense, in the above l allowed them
$214,000.
In conclusion of this whole matter, IJ
would rather a thousand times that ethers
would expose the wrong inflieted upon
the taxpayers by the mismanagement of
the commissioners, but feeling as I de
that my opportunities for knowledge upon
the subject in question have been greater
than theirs, I have been impelled by a
sense of duty te say what I have said.
Rebert Montgomery.
m
Germans la Mexico.
N. Y, Herald.
Onr regular correspondent at Philadel
phia telegraphs as follews: Besides the
agents employed by Prince Bismarck in
Londen te negotiate for the purchase of
10,000,000 acres of land in Mexico, it has
been learned that the prime minister has
also a, very active representative iu this
city engaged in the same business. Se
many Germans are annually emigrating
te the new world that the German govern
ment desires te purchase land for
the purpose of settling a colony,
in order te keep German emigrants
as much as possible under the
supervision of the government and con
trol of the German laws. Dr. Bidlack, of
Ne. 1335 Arch street, has been authorized
en behalf of Prince Bismarck te enter
into communication with Mexico for the
purpose of effecting a purchase of land.
One million acres have been secured by
him, comprising the estate of General
Juan Castimenti. The tract of land lies
in the states of Nueva Leen, Zacatecas
and San Luis Potosi. There are
about five hundred buildings erected en
the estate, all of whieh will be ineluded in
the conveyance of the land. There are
geld, silver, copper, iron and coal mines
located there, and a peculiar fibrous plant,
out of which bags and netting are made, is
indigenous te the soil. Negotiations are
pending for the ether 9,000,000 acres, some
of which are located en the coast of the Gulf
of Mexico. Dr. Bidlack will sail for Europe
en the Arizona en Tuesday of next week
in order te further consummate his plans.
