sions did not exist As ~ the cry Of high taxation In
New.York Of which much II 20 frequently said, hc
would be prepared TO show in few days that with two
exceptions taxation Is lower IN York than
Ia any other city In the state.
Mr.. ICLGTR c0mbaed the idea that every inter'er-

officers But In every part Of the State there are
