the necessities Of busiuess, both presoi
ID prospective, reqnirc, demand an outlay
Of at least 100000 aud probably more, II is
evident tina, The tax poyero must pay what
ever exceeds the donation proposed by
Bowling Green. To that conclusion
Messrs. Sr. JonS aud RUSSELL the Bowling
Green Commissioners had arrived, when
they attempted to lovy tax OF S23,0O0
Notwithstanding the fact that they have
reduced that amount to $4,000 yet IL is
well known that that sum will prove to
tally Inadequate to the erection of county
buildings, and The Commissioners no doubt
contemplate duplicating that amount In
successive years. In this way, these gch.
tlerncn propose to deprive the constilu.
cncy OF this county OF their Just right to
vote on tho policy of taxation. With such
evidence existing Of perverted statements
to influence votes, Of violated pledges, and
OF ndisposition on the pert Of the Commits

cre at large, Ia this county, II becomes the
duty Of every citizen 'rho desires justice

grant relief by passing a general law, the
provisions Of which shall be adapted to
this or any other county similarly circum.
sIauced The objection made by Bowling
Green TO such Legislative action, furnishes
demonstrative evidence showing the neces.
sity Tor such action. II tho parties favor.

fairly brought before tho pooplo for
