Mr.. EDIroR:-

MIR. EDIToR:-
Permit me briefly to give
my rc,sons rs q member Of the Council
for opposing the donation of $500 Of the
funds Of The Corporation to the Rock Island
Medical School.
Let. nun opposed to establishing pre-.
ccdcnt for appropria,ing the proceeds Of
tho town Tax 10 any purpose which do
not regard ms Of purely public character.
The same principle is involved in the pres.
ent application as though made by Thco-
logical Institution.
2nd. Did it properly como within the
purview of the Corporation to make tho re.
quired donation would regard it as mex
pcdicnt for the following considerations:
The taxes Of the past year have been
wholly absorbed in grading, paving and
leveling the Streets, and the contingent
expenses Of Corporation. To raise an ad-
ditional tax Is not in tie power. There IS
nothing in the Treasury.
Unless the general interest Of the town
really requires it, il is improper to nppro.
printo . Tax to be levied after the mex.
election.
There ore other objects Of purely pub.
lie character demanding the whole pro.
ceeds Of the taxes Of tho next year were
these to be MS high rs last year.
Sd. II the location Of the Medical School
here depends on the amount Of pecuniary
donations mnde for that purpose-this OBJ.
ject can only bs attained without encroach.
