N.-Now, don't you honestly think that the |
3onth Chicago salary list is tri1o extrayagant |
L. q. Well: what can NO do7 It costs d good |
lcnl to got elected, and NO have to get the monoy
'ack somehow. MikoiEyans and Mr. Corriean |

But t will DO remembered that Il has bcon |
loWn that under tho now law tho County Com
customers designate what amount OF monov

oard has no T. tgor yoloo In tho matter, nor
Is 1T any authority to negotiate town orders at
