TTAXI) IT? j
$ 100 per year for Wardens, ."jajii'i !
per year for an Attorney, tjioOO fori
Clerk ami Treasurer. .fti' o for Mayor.
Wo think the last two it-ms reasonable
and probably if v( u?.stood
tlio amount ot legal business
now required of the all no \ we
might pass :| ;> i;.-m be for tuett
who were elected with the understanding
t hat lltey were to receive
their taxes free in loll for their services
to \ote thein-o!v? - tflfsi
per year, is unreasonable .ml unwarrantable.
What good ivasoo. call be
given for paying Ward ns ^it ii when
they were elected for the honor and
abatement of their individual tax-s?
It might be urged that their taxes
ar.. tiro,.ii,.I l.n? tlio?- iv..|...
on that ba?is and should have accepted
it or asked the people or the legi-lature
to change it. It certainly ,
comes with bad grace to change it
themselves?without notice. Such a
precedent established would warrant
the next board in paying themselves
$5t?0 or if they should do some
extra good turn for the town and i
think they were worth it.
The precedent is wrong and should
be corrected at on.ee, and every can- '
didate olTcring for election next |
month hould be made to express
himself if lie proposes to serve for 1
the old stipend or vote himself a sal- 1
ary.
Everybody who owns property is ;
complaining of high taxes and whil<
the item criticised may appear small
we protest at the beginning to prevent
a precedent being established.*
All salaries should be lixed by the
Jegislutare. A few years ago the
Mayor received ? now St,up. the 1
Attorney $f>0 now nMii, the Wardens
part of last year at rate of sj?kM. J low
m,uch next year'.' or the tu-x: ? fan
the taxpayers allow such a precedent ;
to be established?
We do not know of another town (
in the State paying wardens a salary ,
Why this one? Years ago when the
Cou,ticii had to meet and try eases-as
a body there might have hen s one j
excuse in asking ttie people t pn\
the wardens a salary for sueh di
agreeable work, but now that labor
has been put on the .dayor, and j 1
tnost of the work now of the Wardens
is to meet once or twice a '
month, attend to routine busitx - j ,
pass some ordinance or order their i j
salaries paid. I t

he one day saw -100 wa^ron loads of 1
melons <ut the streets of Tort Worth. '
hauled in for shipment. This is tin- 1
only belt or timber to be found in this '
L'reat State. n
Our attention was called to a very '
large orchard in this timber belt on the
right of 1 he road. This orchard eon- i
lained loo acre-ami tie* trees had been
set out in the most precise manner, and
were full grown. presenting a mo-t beau
