las two band a-half years being now sii3 900 900,
or over S63 200 900 more than when Mayor Hall
was inaugurated, while there is reason to believe
that many millions more will be paid out as float
ing and contingent claims unless the present
officials are removed OF the proceeding arrested

mand they quit OF be dc prived of offices which

pointed to demand a full and fair exhibit of the
