To ttie Slay or and Councilmcu ol llic . . CHjr of a-lvuutsville. Gentlemen:- That part of Evatsville known as the Lower Enlargement is all comprised in four blocks and four fractional lots with their streets and alleys. . " ', i It was made a part of the town in the year 1820. It has been taxed by you and your .predecessors c?er since yon had that power, and Steadily, annually, and sometimes specially taxed erereince 183G inclusive. During these 17 years of taxation, never very light and sometimes very heavy, you perhaps have formed no estimate of the amount of taxes 'collected from this small portion of your jurisdiction and it may not be impertinent in me to call attention to the subject. The taxable property in the Enlargement ly the assessment books for 185J amounts to '99,652 (and I think I have overlooked some

t)i ii) Deing ueiween one-twentieth and ai twenty-first part of all the taxable of the City; and the taxes fcr 1852 being at the ja . Tate oi lo cents on the IUU dollars, with a poll taxoC, 1 per head, the property tax of ta75, and the poll tax to 50, making the City taxes of the Enlargement amount for be past year to the sum ot 1 800 00 From an examination of the tax rolls of the corporation from 1842 to 1851 inclusive, i lifid the amount xf taxes assessed during that time to be 49,011 00. From 1842 back to 1836 I could not get the accurate per annum assessments, bu taking the asses -xn?nt rolls for 1836 and 1837. I find the one to amountte $18G 00, the other to $2263 00. The taxes for 1838, 1830, 1840, and 1841 were rather lower than an average of the wears of 1833 and 1837. I have lor safety averaged the whole six years from 133G to 1841' inclusive 'at '81200 00 per annum, .which would give a total result of taxation for those years, of S7200, making with the mibaequeut total taxation of the City up to 1851 inc'uaive 56,211 00. Allowing for delinquent lists, 1 will average the Lower Enlargement's taxes collected at onertwenty--first.part of the whole assessment rojl, which will to the present time give a total of taxes röllecteJ from that Enlargement of 3476 70. öiy three ihmsanJ live hundred dollars. Add to this amount the City taxes of the prefcentyear at the'same rate as last year on tho present valuation of prjperty $300 00 and the Lower Enlargement will have paid up to the end of the present year into the City Treasury the turn of 4,300 00. I -ill add that this, calculation : based iip.oii the supposition that! this Enlargement Las all along b( rue only tTie same proportion l't ic whole City assessment, which she now does, whereas I think it will be found that as be stojd still, whilst the city at large has' keen greatly extended, she has on t'ic whole f borne a much greater f roportiui U the taxes than une-tweiuy-first part. We have thin formed name definite idea of the amount of taxes qollectod by you, or your predecessors from this small pertion ol the city. ';. . - We w'.ll now make some enquiry into tho conidertion which the taxable polls and property of the enlargement has received for this aggregate of taxation, or what has been done by the city government in return fiT all the material aid thus given her by this province uf her dominions! Some of you, gentlerann, were so happy as to know Evansville in its days of iioa improvement: lu golden age if carelessness nd forgetfulnees of gullies, ponds and awamps, of gymson weeds and Cog funnel, when there were bridges on water fctreet (across the gullies) and hills in main strce t and frog ponds every where. (Those ot you, only, who remember those .Uvj onn fiirmin pnrrprt unininü of thf 4 tlj U tsJ V.M. J ..w.....w C - " general almost (except in the lower enlarg--inent )universal improvmcnts mada in Evansville since then at the public expend. There U no other, esection of the town -which has been inhabited half as long as this has, which has not received your attention, and had large sums from the public purse expended upon them. Year after year, one improvment after another has been ' originated or extendeJ, teaching, beautifying and appreciating all quarters except this, whilst if this quarter had been the site of a pest house, or a lep rosy reeking with contagion and all that -is unclean, our city lathers could not have more dcligently avoided its touch or con tact. Permtt me, gentleman to' ask the question, Was ever any public rnouey ' spent here I Pay. examine your Bocks, and see if there Was: yes, there was. The same thing has a i - c . 1 - oeen oone nero wnicn supervisors oi reaus Grand Jury Bits for the tall term. The - top of a steep hill has been scalped to make it possible for drays and a agog, and that is about all. If anything else has been done, ; We should be glad to hear of it, and by doing ( that, half of the adjacent property was rendered fenceless and useless unto this day. . The combustibles of this enlargement liave never given your city fire engines occu- ; pation,änd have shown a proper spirit to. Wards a city government which has shown Xvo mnch coldness towards them. In lact gentlemen, if instead of being a part of Evi nsvül j.thia enhrgment had been annexted to j Perry or Scott or any other township in the county,' she would have been just as much j better off than she is now, as the taxes you, -and your predecessors have collected off her, f amount to. 1 And now pardon me gentlemen, for hint ing to you, that this neglect has lasted long enounh. It inay have been prudent h'therto . to ne gleet expensive or even slight improvements where they were leudly called for, whilst so much wa to be done and taxes were already heavy, but that the same plea will continue good any longer, I must be permitted respectfully to deny. -During a period of three years of unexampled prosperity, whibt every other por tion of the city has rapidly improved, this has etood still; nay, more than stood still It has gone backward, and all for tho want of a street improvement which can bo done at much 'ess expense than the taxes heretofore collected here and spent in other parts of the city amount to. By the judicious system of drainage and grading adopted and worked up to bv vour body to the very edge of this En largement, it is absolutely necessary, before a ain-rle Dermanent building can be safely erected in this Enlargement that all its itreeta be cut down to an average uepth be low their present surface of 6 leet. To do ikU rrnrHirxr tn the SurveVSOt' VOlir Enjintpr. it is necessarv to remove about 25,000 cubic yards of earth, which being needed on adjacent streets and lots in Lam isco, can be i remOVcU uuw -.ucaii, u vuwi j I cow made to remove U at 8 cents per yard

which would bring the whole cost Of the removal to but littlo above 2000 00, a sum but little above the taxes collected for the past, and, at the same rate of taxation, to be collected by you from this Enlargement for the present year, and a small sum compared with all that she has paid into your Treasury above what he has taken out. When you shall have graded these streets, the proprietors will have to grade their lots to a corresponding depth and many of them now want tu be at it for the purpose of placing themselves in a situation to derive some benefit from their property, which is now wholly forbidden to many of them, as you all well know Gentlemen, this littlo public expenditure is resDectfullv asked as a matter cf right, of

unauestionible ri-zht. whose denial would be a wi-ongi which I, knowing you individually, cannot believe vou will consent to inflict on any portion of the citizens of the town of which you are trie municipal rulers.
