| they have right to use all the streets The mere
| residence IN the one Mumcipahty, therefore, does
not necessarily give to that Municipality tie right
to the tax on the dray which visits every portion of
| the city. We certainly should be glad to have
the sole benefit Of this tax for the Second Munich
pality, but the injustice of the present law is not
SO apparent as the Delta represents. Certainly we
do not conceive that the few thousands saved by
the new charter in this. particular, is sufficient
argument for consolidation. The Delta boldly as
serts that one half Of the present taxation will be
taken off by consolidation. We have already said
that fbe extra tax of this wear will mot be needed
Inext wear. So that taxation will hereafter be one
half Of the present but this will be the case under
all circumstances.
The Delta will have il that. under the present
