Joseph G. Carroll, sworn.—Is a member of the District Legislature, and was a member of the committee to select sites for new markets; that committee took no testimony; there was another committee to investigate in reference to tne purchase of the Savage square; that committee ‘was appointed by the Council; it consisted of J. y. Thompeon, A. K. Browne and Jobn A. Gray. Wm. B. Todd, sworn.—Has resided here forty- two years; in September last the Board of Pub- hie Works ordered the footwalks to be paved on the cast side of NORTH CAPITOL STREET, in front of property owned by witness; the work was done, and about ten days afterwards it was torn up and another put down, of different ma- terial; a bill was sent to witness, about €1,400; asked why it was t! two pave- ments were put down in so short a time; saw the two contractors; both said they were carryin; out their contracts, made with the Board o! Public Works; witness owned about 409 front feet on that square; had received a bill tor the first pavement, but had received none for the second; did not know if he would be called upon to pay for the second pavement; would resist the payment for the second pavement, should he receive a bill for it; had never spoken with any member of the Beard of Public Works on the subject. By Mr. Crane:—Did not think elther sewers, water or gas pipes had been laid before the pavement was put down. By Mr. Chandler:—The work was not com- menced by the old corporation; the first gutter laid was of a the oo of blue iss; knew nothing of the cost of the change; Supposed the first material could be used else- where. By Mr. Crane:—Witness was present at the meetin of the Board of Public Works when Gen. cle. Capt. Patterson, Dr. Hall and others addressed the board on the subject of IMPROVING THE CANAL; all d that the canal should be kept open; Gov. Cooke stated that their arguments were perfectly satistactory to him, and he thought the canal should be kept open; 3d street was in an impassable condition; had been eo for three months. Question by Mr. Crane.—From what you have seen, Mr. Todd, do you think the improvements have been conducted economically and with justice to the taxpayers? Mr. Chandler.—Stop a minute. Now, Mr. Chairman, I submit that the opinions of the authors of this investigation are not evidence. Judge Poland.—The witness can state to what improvements he objects, and why he objects. Witness resumed:—Thought the work of fill- ing oy canal was a great blunder, and Inju- rious to the people. Pa Gen. Chipman:—Would prefer to return THE OLD FORM OF GOVEREMERT which we had here; witness thought the people were to be inundated with a debt; did not re- member the cost of the wood pavement on Penn- sylvania avenue; thought work done by the Board of Public Works cost more than it did under the old goverment, knew nothing positive about prices paid by the Boardof Pubite ‘Works; but few streets were paved under the old cor poration; witness was in favor of improvements, ut not tn favor of Feckless extravagance; con sidered 15 cents per yard a fair price for grad- ing; thought the people were burdened by the enormous debt being piled up; THE RATE OF TAXATION last year was $1.70; the vear previous it was $1.80, with a discount off for prompt payment, which reduced it to about $1.10; pinder the old corporation taxpayers, paid for speci im- provements; now they pay for one-third, but to pay the interest on these loans; thought greater ze ealth of this could bear. x. Roosevelt said he saw a statement In the Patriot that the rate of taxation for the present year would be $3.60. He inquiredof the witness it that was correct. A.—I do not know. Mr. Crane said he had examined it and the rate of taxation must be that to pay the interest on the debt, &c. Gen. Chipman inquired if thet paper was in evidence. Mr. Crane replied it was not. Gen. Chipman suggested that they confine themselves to the evidence and proceed in a Proper manner. r. Chandler then cross-examined the witness, who testitied that he was a large property holder; desired to sell all he had: did not feel disposed to sacrifice any of his land; was getting satisfac- tory prices for all the land whieh he was selling. 'y Gen. Chipman :—Witnegs thought THE VALUE o” Tue OL mCU RI TIES Was as great as the new ones, registered stock of the corporation sold as high as 85 cents. had purchased the old 5 per cent. Bonds as low as 65 cents; before the war re; red @’s were up to $1.04a$1.05; thought it best to pay cash for the work done; hi it stated ‘new loan was sold abroad; heard it stated that it was loan ized represented there that the wi by the United States government.
