That vacant spot ta the very hart of our

nearly a year, should beoecupied by a new

but being in full view of every passing
train, it pre tents to travelen a sight which
naturally . his to the conclusion that
the place must be dead. The Old Well
Hotel was known throughout the country,
and supposed to be, as it was, liberally pat-
ronized. The question arises in every mind
why is it that the hotel is not rebuilt 9 We
cannot answer, but we do hope, that for the
sake of the place, and the credit of the
owner of the. property. this much needed
public benefaction will not much longer be
delayed. By beginning operations this
winter he can do agreat good, relieve want,
confer a biasing upon the place, and re-
ceive the heartfelt thanks of every friend of
progress, and we believe be handsomely re.
paid in the end for the investment.
Then, after the Commissioners have de-
cided upon some good plan for the intro-
duction of public water, the people should
vote the necessary means for a vigorous
prosecution of that work, and thus give em-
ploynrcnt to many who otherwise will nec-
. cssarily be a burden to the town.
The Messrs. Lounsbury Bros. have begun
operations on the addition to their shoe fac—
fury; the Lock Company are erecting
a new and baud: rate office; Erouay-
or Ely is improving his property on
Washington street, and several other al-
terations and repairs are being made in oth-
er property.
Now let all others who contemplate build?
inc or improvemcn's goat them. In the lan-
guage of an exchange :—“Who so hath
money to spend, let him spend it now. If
he needs something useful. and be can if-
ford it, let him buy without delay. If he
wishes anything artistic or ornamental, and
he has money in plenty, let him get it and
pay for it forthwith. Keep money moving.
Horded money is dead money, worthless
alike to the man who has it sad the man
who wants it. It may as well be at the bot-
tom of the sea forall thegood it does. The
' mischief of to-day is, that he who has mon-
ey keeps it. He is afraid to part with it,
either to pay debts or buy something useful
and so the mill of business is idle from
want of grist. Pass the money along
friends; pass it along. It will help every-
body who touches it and keeps it moving,
nod it will come back to all in lu-incss in-
crease. But the action must be general, the
entire machinery must move simulf incously
and then how everything will Lum! The
panic should have been dead and buried
long ago beyond resurrection. All men are
not cheats, nor rascals, nor liars. The most
of people intend to do right by one anotlr
er, Let us believe this, and show our faith
by our works; let us all go to work as if
nothing were wrong, and we shall pretty
soon find that all is right. Undam the
streams. and the waters of plenty will flow
in every neighborhood ; but keep them pent
up. and some day they will break out and
denly with death and ruin in their way.“
Adopt the above suggestions and we will
bear no more of a “hard winter."
while he is thus damaged others [filly he,-
benefited, and thereby peaceably subtnit to
the demand for public improvement so
essential to the crowded thoroughfare on
which be resides. Lessons may be learned
from this Main street matur, which might
be profitable to the old council, the present
council, as well as future councils and the
public, find which, by and by, may be a
proper subject to study. Yours,
INQl'illEll.
We reply, ist. The inequality of the as-
sessment is a matter with which the council
has nothing to do. Tire Superior Court,
Judge Minor, accepted the reports 0f the
two committees, and if any injustice was
done he is responsible. If the unequality
of assessments is to debar their collection,
what are we to do with taxes. They are
also manifestly unjust. For instance, a
man in Whistleviiie owns a little home
which costs him say $600, he is probably
assessc for that amount. A wealthy mun
owns opcrty in the centre of the city,
Worth a quarter of a million—we will
guarantee he is not assessed for more
than $50,000. Here is an injustice that is
tolerated in every community. The older
claims, which probably refer to taxes, should
be collected at once. It. is the collector's duty
to attend to that, and if he is slow in the
performance ofabls duties, the council
should “ punch him up." If he waits until
“ times are good " for all, he‘ll never collect
them. If a man is too poor to pay his
taxes, they should be abated ; but if he is
spending more money every day in follies
and extravsgrtncics than the amount of his
taxes. as manv of them are, then he should
be brought to' time. Because people in
other localities are indebted to the city is
no reason why gentlemen on Main street
should owo the city. If “ Inquirer" should
owe us $100 which had been due for n year,
and a dozen others had owned us twice as
long, we don‘t think he would claim that
he should be relieved from the pryment of
his indebtedness until the others had liqui-
dated theirs.
2i. We do not believe that the cases
that have been settled on a bases of an
abatement of twenty~seven per cent. can be
reopened. The lelns have been discharg-
ed, and we do not knmv of any author-
ity to rc-cstnbitslr them. We think this
difficulty is a purely imaginary one. Those
that settled in full did it rather than take
the chances and expenses of a law suit.
Their choice, we think, was a wise one,
and they probably are the best satisfied of
any of the parties today. We should not
attempt to collect the twenty-seven per
cent. that has been abated. 1f “ Inquirer“
will lack at the charter (Sect. 48 and 60),
he will see that the council. as guardians of
the people, had no power to appeal from
the last assessment. The council could act
cept or reject the report of the first cont
mittec, but after the “ persons aggrieved by
the estimate “ petitioned the Superior Court
for a acclimate, and the judge had accept-
ed the report or reports, the council had no
alternative but to abide by that decision.
That the old council exceeded its authority
when it made the abatement, is now a well‘
established fact. But there are cimumstarv
ces tonnected with their action which
would be taken tutu maddeniion. The
Main street matte.- had already dragged
through two previous Boards. and with a
desire to close it up, and,aswo believe,
with no knowledge of their lack of author
ity, they eetnpmutiaed on the twenty-seven
per cent. reductioa basis. hoping thereby to
make an equitable and satisfactory settle-
ment. The new council, looking at the
matter differently. proposed to increase the
statements. Following in the footsteps of
the old board, they showed like ignorance.

vlotw council. Neither can be blamed for

abatement of twenty-seven per cent, and
upon this basis perhaps hold receipts for

Alain Street Assessments.
To rim Editor qr Tun Snsrrxrzt.:
In your ncmunt of the Main street assess-
ments you until to mention the appeal of
certain property owners, which “as made
itttmedi‘ttcly upon the first assessment, and
which resulted in materially reducing the
amount put to the parties making the ttppcul,
ll! well as tin-Ir virtual tender of the amount
fixed by tire'cmnmittec null upprovcri by the
Court, together with the refusal of the city
to accept the same, for the reason that an
other plan of operations had seized the
minds of the learned council, viz: simply to
grade, but not to diminish the width of
Main street.
Then comes the remarkable history of the
second onslaught upon the inhabitants of
your principal tlmrouchfare, which, fit a
long time, made access to and egress from
their places of business a difficult, nod, in
vmany instances, a perilous undertaking,
causing muny tube subjected to great cx~
pcnse in ruining their buildings to the crude,
and, in addition, assessing tltetn heavily for
an improvement of greater value and impor-
tance to the general public, than to the few
lubabilunts upon the line of the grade,
which was, at lcast,an nppreulve burden
upon thefew for the benefit of the many.
It is quite evident, that the difficulty out»
not be removed by litigation, for this
would be unjust to both parties For. while
it would depletetho city treasury of hurt-
dreds of dollars, it would never restore the
good-will and ancient friendship so vitally
important for the prosperity of communities,
or make the amends which the unwise acts
of those clothed with a little brief authority
demand.
Let the city refund the money already
wrestod from her citiaens upon Main street.
and at once eaucvlall demands prevailing
for this (rent public improvement, and let
the horse railroad and the city til large, who
are in daily use of this improved grade, and
alike shunts of its benefits. pay therefor.
Thus. and only tltus,ean this burden bo-
cutue a light otte,auti be honorably and llllfb
eatly borne. ‘

We do not think the “decision of our
