The city would-be authorities, are press
ing heavily for taxes, showing to those
whom they suppose they can alarm, exc
cutiong. This is curious hardihood. The
Chancellor has fixed next Tuesday as the
day to determine whether these parties
have the right to collect taxest at all they
are fully aware of this, but with hardi-
hood which amounts to judicial defiance
as well as utter disregard of public opinion
they are pressing for the collection Of
taxe5 az If the life Of the city depended
upon their collecting all the taxes before
the decision is made.
We trust the people will see that they
are not robbed. A main point in the
application is that the hand Of the collec'
tor is wholly insufficient. Besides, az has
been judciously determined, these pre-
tended authorities are not in Office.
