IT seems little singular that in all
their laborious efforts to reduce salaries,
the honorable city council should have
ignored only their own. Well, it's
human nature, and if the people can
stand it, the council can.
TAXPAYERS should preserve THE
HERALD of Saturday, containing the

trenchment of expenses. 1t will prove
very interesting reading, especially
just prior to municipal election.

Hon. GEORGE E. SPENCER, of Ala
