The Postffice Index.


The growth of Columbus during the century (1808-1908) is clearly exhibited by the annexed comparisons, the terms of the second and third period indicating the growth of postal facilities proportioned to the increase of population. In 1808 no postoffice existed east of the river. It was located west of the river in what is now the west side of Columbus: then designated Franklinton. These comparisons are self-explanatory.


1808, Adam Hosack, postmaster; one clerk.


1858, Samuel Medary, postmaster; one chief clerk; five additional clerks; one messenger and porter.


1908, H. W. Krumm, postmaster; Francis M. Leonard, deputy post- master; seven departments (stamp, mailing box, money order, registry, general delivery, special delivery) ; clerks and general em- ployes, two hundred and fifty-nine: Carriers, one hundred and fif- teen ; substitute carriers, eighteen. Number of sub-stations, twenty- three. Number of rural free delivery routes, seven.

Postmasters of Columbus.


The following persons have been the postmasters of Columbus since the establishment of the office on the east side of Scioto. Previously the mails had been received at the Franklinton postoffice on the west side of the river, which office was discontinued soon after. The figures preceding the names indicate the accession of each postmaster to the office successively in their order. They were:


1816, Joel Buttles ; 1829, Bela Latham; 1829, William Moody ; 1833, Bela Latham; 1841, John G. Miller; 1845, Jacob Medary; 1849, Samuel Medary ; 1849, Aaron F. Perry; 1853, Thomas Sparrow; 1857, Thomas Miller; 1859, Joseph Dowdall; 1860, John Graham; 1867, Julius J. Wood; 1871, James M. Comly; 1877, A. D. Rogers; 1881, L. D. Myers; 1885, DeWitt C. Jones; 1889, Andrew Gardiner; 1893, F. M. Senter; 1897, Robert M. Rownd; 1906, Harry W. Krumm.


Bela Latham filled a vacancy of less than a year in 1829, and later served from 1833 to 1841. In 1849 Samuel Medary filled a brief vacancy covering less than a year. The tenure of the office of postmaster partly by law and partly by custom, is four years, and the changes mostly follow the election and inauguration of a president, all the leading offices, with but few excep- tions are filled by the political ádherents of the president, who are in sym- pathy with his policies whatever they may be.


The County's Progress in Population.


The population of Franklin county, beginning with the opening year of each decade since 1800, is a striking illustration of the county's uniform progress since its organization or more precisely speaking, pending its organ- ization in 1803, while it was yet a part of the northwest territory as was the rest of Ohio up to the meeting of the first general assembly March 1, 1803. The beginning, the growth and the ultimate of the population in one hun- dred and six years may be thus stated by decades.


1800-250. 1810-3,486. 1820-10,172. 1830-14,741. 1840-25,- 049. 1850-42,909. 1860-50,361. 1870-63,019. 1880-89,797. 1890- 124,087. 1900-164,460. 1909-250,000.


An Almost Uniform Growth.


For the latter year, the population is estimated with the directory of the city of Columbus, and the school enumeration of both the city and the county,


449


CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF COLUMBUS


as the basis for the estimate. It will be observed that while the per cent of increase for each decade varies, sometimes going above ten per cent annually and sometimes falling below it, the average is ten, and thus conforms to the same uniform progress of the city and county along all the other lines of activity and progress as has been heretofore pointed out and commented on.


The County's Progress in Wealth.


In discussing the progress of the county and the city in wealth there is a reliable basis on which to erect the money values of the realty within its limits. The county, as now described by metes and bounds, contained orig- inally, and still retains, very nearly 327,700 acres. The United States gov- ernment itself fixed an original value upon it, to-wit: One dollar per acre, so that at the beginning the entire acreage was valued at $327,700.


A little later when the government advanced the value to $1.25 per acre it was worth $415,700 and shortly after that, when the government price was fixed a $2.00 per acre for what remained unentered, it may be said to have been worth $655,400, or something less than one-fourth of the present selling price of one of the ordinary squares in the business district of the city of Columbus.


Nearest the Correct Values.


In 1830 the agricultural lands were rated at a valuation of $2,065,195; the village property at $208,950 and personalty (or as then designated, chattels) at $375,155, a total of $2,649,300, which was probably nearer the true value of the property of the county than has ever been made since at any assessment.


City and Village Values Increase.


In 1840 city and village real estate advanced in values more rapidly than did the farm lands, and personalty began to make a more important snowing. They were at that time, in fact, separated; some 27,000 acres of city and vil- lage lands were taken from the purely agricultural lands, leaving to the latter 300,000 acres.


The Half Century Figures.


In 1850, the close of a half century, agricultural lands, were accorded a valuation of approximately $5,000,000; city and village realty $6,000,000; personalty $4,000,000, a total of $15,000,000.


In 1890 the valuations were: Farm lands $16,525,370; city and village real estate $32,839,610; chattels $18,492,050; a total of $67,857,040.


In 1900 the valuation of farm lands was fixed at $13,338,400; the city and village at $54,385,160; the personalty or chattels at $20,649,560; making the total "assessed" values $88,372,720.


At a proportionate increase the totals of these three items in 1908-9 would be $97,209,992, or in round numbers $100,000,000.


450


CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF COLUMBUS


But these "assessed" values are fictitious values, made under the shrewd idea, or erroneous impression, it is hard to say which, that under valuation will reduce fixed charges, which are fixed independent of valuation, to meet public expenditures.


The selling price of lands in the agricultural districts for five years past indicate that the real value of the 300,000 acres exceeds $30,000,000, instead of falling below $14,000,000.


The Actual Present Values.


The actual values of city and village realty as shown by the average selling prices for five years, is $190,338,060, instead of $54,385,160.


The value of personal (chattel) property, including moneys, credits, in- vestments in securities, etc., is very much more than the sum of $20,649,560 placed on the duplicate and is at least $103,000,000, instead of the sum re- turned, and the total of the three items properly assessed at their real value would stand at $325,000,000 for 1900, and $350,000,000 in 1908-9.


These are the true values of all the property in the county, and are gen- erally so recognized by men of affairs and financial knowledge and experience.


The mistaken idea that low valuations on property at say 25 or 33 per cent of the real value, can effect the fixed charge of annual taxes is responsible for the whole system of undervaluation, as though it makes any difference whether the duplicate was $100,000 or $500,000 or any sum above or below these when the sum total to be collected was $7,500; $75,000 or other fixed sum for specified uses.


Bad Result of Undervaluation.


The only effect of the undervaluation is to make the man with $1,000 assessed against him pay the greatest amount of taxes proportionally. One may be generous enough to say, and say truthfully, that neither selfishness nor dishonesty has led to his pernicious system of undervaluation and its consequent inequalities, and that it is the result of mistaken ideas. But it does injustice to municipalities, counties and states, as well as to a large pro- portion of their citizens.


Effects of the System.


As an instance of the effects of the system, we may point out that if the tax rate of the county is three per cent and the sum of taxes to be realized is $3,250,000, would it not be wiser to assess all property at its actual value, say $325,000,000 and collect one per cent, than to collect three per cent upon say $97,000,000. In the ridiculously low valuation the millions are placed beyond the ken of the tax collector but the thousands and ten thousand can- not escape the inverted optic of the collector. The state or the county possess- ing the ordinary advantages, and which can place all real values on the duplicate, and thus bring the tax rate to one per cent, the normal under our

453


CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF COLUMBUS


governmental system, fairly well administered, will draw men of business and enterprise and desirability from all directions. The reasons are obvious.


Not Exceptional Cases.


This county and state are not exceptional in this respect, although it is somewhat sharply marked when considered in connection with the ad- vance in all other lines. Taking the duplicate as the test of the growth in wealth for the century, it has scarcely been four hundred per cent. In all other lines of activity and progress, as well as in all the graces of modern civilization, the percentage of advance has in no instance fallen below one thousand.


Discredits the County.


Men of ordinary powers of observation are fully aware that the pro- gressive increase of the county's wealth and property values has not fallen behind, but has fully come up to the standard. The undervaluations on the duplicate stand to the discredit of one of the wealthiest and most prosperous counties in the Ohio valley, from which only a better and truer system of assessment can redeem it.


The Remedy in Sight.


Nor is it too much to believe that the remedy will be applied in the near future. With no direct tax by the state, and no state board of equaliza- tion, to make the industrious and well managed counties help bear the tax burdens of others less industrious, or less wisely managed, each county can afford to put every dollar's actual value, reducing its ordinary tax burden to one per cent or less, annually, and then all values will readily come upon the duplicate and the tax dodger will be a thing of the past.


CHAPTER XV.


SOME OF THOSE WHO CAME OVER.


That business activity is not the foe of longevity, is a fact readily demon- strable in every mart and business center. That it is the case in Columbus, is shown in what follows later.


Business Men From the 35th to 66th Degree.


Appended are the names of a number of business men nearly all of whom are still active in business, who have been so engaged in Columbus


454


CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF COLUMBUS


for from thirty-five to sixty-six years. Nor are they bent and decrepit men, feeble and slow with lack-luster eyes, looking askance for the Oslerian exe- cutioners to smite them; but men strong of body and mind full of optimism, and proper human ambitions and aspirations; clear of eye and voice and not uncertain of step; abreast the times and interested in all that makes for the advancement of the race.


A Striking Monograph.


This list by no means comprises all the eligibles in the city, scores of others, evidently too bashful to concede the facts and join the procession, when the mastering officer of history called them into line. Too modest and shrinking, in fact, to have their names and ages enrolled in the state capital's centennial annals. The following named gentlemen, however, were young enough to remember back to their beginnings, and their names are set down in the reverse order: That is to say, the highest degrees appear at the top and go down from the highest to the lowest, with the privilege remaining over to the reader to follow the Sanskrit and read from the bottom of the page upward.
