ny hobby - raised by this last amendment.
This " electioneerng hobby" amounts
to this. that the citizens Of Mineral Point
did not intend to allow the the people of

promises 10 build, which they never in
tend to fulfill, and consequently wished
that the bill should show ON its face that the
taxpayers of all the county would nave to
meet the expenses. Road how the 81 Iowa
