ReSolrcd, AS citizens and tax payers of
Ward we denounce aud reprobate the
action OF our representatives in the CITY
Council in agreeing to give Mr.. Sprague's
agent the enormous sum of SIG, 900 per
annuln for twenty years for supplying
tho city with water, being double the
amount now paid for the same.
RcSotceoi, That the increased amount
Of taxation which will result from this
job, entered into by the City Council
without consulting the wishes or interests
OF the taxpayers, must inevitably act
dsaa,strousy y on the welfare of the city.
RcSolced, That we are opposed to the
giving out of the contract of supplying
the city with water under such terms, at
a greatly increased cost, when the maxi
mum amount Of taxation authorized by
the Legislature has already been reached.
ReS0ice0, That we invite the co-opera-
ton OF the people of our sister Wards
in concentrating the opposition of the
entire city in opposition to the action of
said City Council, and that we promise
our determined cooperation in whatever
measures may be doomed necessary to
defeat this wnsteful, unnecessary and ex.
travagant policy. JAMES DAVIS,
