A careful perusal of the bill in question will elicit the fact to the mind of the considerate that according to the amount of taxable property in the boundaries and pre- cincts of the District and districts in which we live, calling for 20 mills taxation per square foot, that we are actually paying for such improve: ments less money than the majority of others. Observe this. The aggregate assessment upon four districts of the city is $655,379.79, upon which there is an average taxation of 13-16 cents per s«uare foot; while the 5th district, in- cluding the wealthiest sections of the city, is taxed $1,662,024.85, upon which we pay two per cent. per square foot. Now, then, the Lith district being a part and parcel of the 5th dis- trict, and having property o: less value in com- parison to that of the other legislative districts, we must therefore pay @ less percentage upon our real estate than property-holders upon Pennsylvania avenue, Louisiana avenue, 9th, ith, and other prominent business uw streets included in the 5th district. Thus re- lieved, it must follow that from the vast amount to be realized from the above asseasment th Island will be benefitted by less taxation and greater improvements than can po: in any of the other tour distri Third District.
