EVENING STAR. Largest Circulation in the Distriet CROSBY S. NOYES. aces Editors WASHINGTON OITY ++) MAY 28.1 S7 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- @RAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. THE TAX-ADVERTISEMENT. Elsewhere will be found a communication tom a citizen compiaming of what he terms the “extortions” practiced upon tax-payers under the present system of adverty ‘ag the He say + that Bis house and iot were rhsed to be sold for taxes; $10.73 being the ant due, and that the bill was swelled to by the advertisement. The item of “16.07 tor advertising a tax of $10.5 he thinks pretty steep and he doubts the legality of the whole thing. We still bold to the opinion heretofore expressed by us that there is no ubt of the legality of the transagtion—we mean the publication of the (ax-list advertise- Tmev!.of & portion of it,on supplementary sheets, It would effect its legality seriously, however, if +: could be proven that thes pplementary sheets were not delivered to the supscribers. In the case of the Aldermen's committee in vestization ‘We hear that some of the sabscribers to the pa- Per testified that they did not get the supple- ment, but to offset this the carriers testified that | they delivered it, and the committee held that the testimony of the latter ought to rule as be- i™g positive and direct. In this, too, we believe the committee were right. Accident might pre- vent the supplement reaching the hands of the subscriber when delivered, and if tne carriers Prove that they delivered st with the main sheet at the usual piace of delivering the latter « would be sufficient. While technically legal, there is, however, something radically wrong in the publication of this advertisement in papers that the parties interested are not Ikely to see. There should bea law requiring its publication in the paper having the largest circulation. We do mot say this from selfish considerations, but because of | ts manifest propriety amd justice. The pres. | ent party in power is not responsible for | initiaung the bad practice. Very rarely. under apy municipal administration, bas this adver- tisement gone legitimately to the paper where it ‘would reach the largest number of tax-payers. And for years it has been the practice of Col- lectors of Taxes to use f\» advertising columns of the STAR lo inform the public in what paper the tue | advertisement was tobe found’ The complaint by our correspondent of the cost of the adverticement bas force. This | heavy cost to the delinquent tax-payers is oc- easioned by the practice adopted at tne Col- lector’s office of late of describing the property to be sold with much minuteness,and also in using words instead of figures, whereby the bulk of the advertisement is greatly increased. ‘The practice is aefended on the ground that this smplification of description is needed in order to emsure a legal sale. Tne knowing ones about the City Hall, however, do not place implicit confidence in this theory. We imagine that if theadvertisement and the work ot making it up was given out by the job, it would be found that a legal description conid be made occupying considerably less space. (ur correspondent’s suggestion of a circular letter to the tax-payers would not serve in Pisce of @ legal advertisement of sale, but ‘would be a proper thing enough as a reminder to the delinquent tax-payer, who might not otherwise see it in the paper in which it is published. But there onght to be a provision requiring the Collector to serve a personal notice upon every delinquent tax-payer some time before the tax advertisement is made out. Jndgiug from the many complaints made, we ‘ging the Councils could not undertake s more Acceptable Work to the tax-payers tan the devising of some means of reaucing the cost ot publishing the tax. The New York /’vst, noting the munificence ot Mr. Corcoran in founding at the National Capital a free gallery of art, expresses the hope that some of the millionaires of that city will do as much for New York. The Post, also, in Teferexce to the offer of Belmont and others to make contributions to the Corcoran Gallery: sys it furnishes another example of what may be regarded asa law in the growth of public institutions. Let a foundation be well estab- lished. so as to inspite entire confidence 1 it perpetuity, and free gitts and offerings will b= made to it fro: increasing in importance and resources beyond the wildest dream of its founder. The acces. sions to the British Museum from voluntary generosity simost equal in value and dignity the tre@sures that have been purchased for that vast repository of letters, science and art.

It has been proposed as a means of getting vad of the questions at issue between the Gov- ernment Printing Office and the Printers’ i cion—the apprentice question, the colored estion. Ac —that the Government office bould be divorced from the Union here and be put upon the footing of a Government Bu- reau, employing its own men and boys at its own hours and pay. The difficulty about this Would be that printers e:aployed at the Gov- ecument office wishing to seck employment elsewhere could not get work in Union oflices, Se they would be unable ‘oc show cards from he Washington Union.
