City Affairs.
There are two subjects connected
with tho government of the City, to which
-we think the attention of Council should
be at once given. The first of these, in
importance, is the appointment of a
City Assessor, or the endowment of the
City Surveyor with additional powers
and sufficient compensation to remuner
ate him for his services. -There is,
doubtless, a large amount of taxes an
nually lost to the City by the present
system of assessments of Real Estate.
For instance, an Assessor from each
Ward and one from Council are ap
pointed by the Mayor and confirmed by
Council, at its annual meeting in Janua
ry. They meet in March, and to the
best of their judgment make the assess
ments. If these are not just or correct,
it is not the fault of the Assessors. They
do the best they can, and perform the
duty assigned to them honestly and
fairly. But it cannot be expected that
any half dozen gentlemen, we care not
how experienced or impartial they may
be, can set themselves down at a desk,
with the Real Estate book, as at present
arranged, before them, and assess each
and every piece of property in the City,
correctly and equally. It is an impos
sibility. How, then is it possible to
remedy this defect in the assessment
svsteui ? Why in this way: Let the
Council amend the Ordinance fixing
the office and duties of a City Surveyor
so as to make that official a salaried
officer—his compensation being suf
ficient to secure bis services whenever,
and as long as necessary. Require him
to keep, in a book properly arranged for
that purpose, a registry of every lot in
the City, giving its size—feet front and
depth ; its location —street or alley, and
number ; whether fenced or not j im
proved or unimproved; if improved, to
what extent; the nature of the building
upon it—whether frame or brick; size,
number of stories, condition of the
buildings as to repairs; whether or not
supplied with water, gas, etc.; if rented,
the amount of rent required for the
premises; and, iu general, any other re
marks that the Surveyor might deem
necessary to complete a thorough and
intelligible description of tho property
registered; also ascertaining and noting
any changes of ownership and improve
ments of or injury to said property
during the year. Wheu the Assessors
meet, annually, they could take this
book, and do justice to all tho property
holders. They would see at a glance
the location of the property, its nature,
condition, etc., and, if men of experience
in such business, as they generally are,
they would have no difficulty in fixing a
fair valuation on every piece of Real
Estate in this City. And besides this,
we doubt not, a great deal of such proper
ty would be brought to light and render
ed subject to taxation, which is now
never returned, and consequently pays
no reveuue to the City; while the valua
tion of a great deal would be largely
increased, thus adding considerably to
the receipts for city taxation.
This officer should also be required
to keep a book of record of all lots
belonging to the City ; also, of such as
have been or may be sold, together with
time of sale, and the price paid ; and a
record of all plats, plans, and surveys
made for or by order of the City Council.
The growing interests the City demand
some such action as this, and though it
is too late to have any beneficial effect
upon the taxation of the present year,
vet it should be commenced at once, so
as to be completed in time for the next
and all future assessments. The salary
paid in this case yvould be money well
and profitably spent. We have heard
it estimated that some such system as
this would increase the value of Real
Estate in the City, as assessed, on the
Real Estate Book, fully one million of
dollars. At the rate ol two per cent,
taxation, this amount would yield the
sum of $20,000 1 a sum of which the
City Treasury is how deprived. How
important, then, is it that this subject
should receive the most careful and
calm consideration of the City Coun
cil. \
Next in importance, at the present
time, is the subject of City printing.
The custom has been, heretofore, to
give the printing of the City to the low
est bidder, regardless of bis fucilities for
doing neat work, or of the circulation'
of his journal. At the name time tho
job work and a great deal of advertising
was given t p the other papers at full
rates, so, that the official paper of the
City was actually a sufferer by the con
tract, the bills.of the other papers being
nearly if not fully as large as the said
official paper I Now, in our judgment,
the City Printer should be elected by
Council just as other City officers are i
and he should be first required to prove
that he has the largest City circulation ;
that he has facilities for doing promptly
and neatly all printing which may be
given to him, nnd that he will charge
the lowest possible rates for such work.
Let it bo understood that the journal
thus selected is to have exclusively, all
the printing—advertising and job work,
and it would then be to the advantage
of its publisher to make his terms as low
as possible, because it would give im
portance to his paper ; nnd it would at
the same time, be an accommodation to
the public, who would know where to
look for official municipal communica
tions without the trouble of searching
for them. There are a greSt v nmnv
things the publication of which could be
dispensed with, and everything that is
published being published in but one
paper, the expense would be compara
tively light, and thereby a considerable
measure of economy and saving to the
City.
With all due respect for the superior
wisdom and municipal sagacity of those
who have been placed around the Coun
cil board, we tender these suggestions,
believing that they are worthy of con'
sideration, and will not fail to receive
the attention of those to whom they are
particularly addressed.
Mb. Stephens.—“Anolostan,” a
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, iu his letter of the 16th inst., says :
Now that his testimony has been given
and sent in to Congress, the Hon. Alexander
H. Stephens will immediately depart hence
for his home in Georgia. Ho came here, as
has been previously stated in this corres
pondence, solely on the summons of the
reconstruction committee. Without that
summons he would not have appeared in
Washington at this time. Mr. Stephens
fully comprehends the situation, and entire
ly understands and appreciates the influ
ences that are at work ; and though pre
pared tn endure with l'urtitude and to see
his section still further afflicted, nnd our
whole country, it may be, with it, is yet
nut without liual hope, through faith in the
justice, magnanimity and common sense of
the Ameiican people. He expects no ad
mission of any Southern representation by
the present Congress. He has faith in the
constitutionalism of Andrew Johnson and
his patriotic, wise aud humane purposes.
And “lota," another correspondent of the
same paper says:
Mr. Stephens' views in his testimony be
fore thrf reconstruction committee will, no
doubt, make a deep impression on the pub
lie mind. They aro reported to he sub
stantially tho same which he gave in his
recent speech at Milledgoville.
