Editor Of Republican The edito-
rial in the last issue of the Herald in
reference TO corporation affairs has
struck the key note of reform and
retrenchment, aud as one of the tax
payers l sincerely trust that you will
not permit a single edition of your
paper to be issued in future, without
dealing sledge hammer blows at the
manner in which the corporation af-
fairs are conducted. What the peo-
pie of Oakland wish to know now,
and what they have been trying to
find out for the last three years, is /:
Where does the money 90 to that is
collected for taxes? There are judg.
ments against the corporation, any
amount of open accounts, nobody
seems to be able to collect bill from
the corporation, you never hear of a
bill being paid; yet the the taxes are
collected, and the question arises,
who gets the money? Different par
ties are elected to Office, they serve
their term out, another comes in, and
yet the tax payers never get a state
ment as to what becomes of the
money collected. l know of no way
so quickly to settle this matter than
for the tax payers to employ counsel,
a fearless, good lawyer, and let him
proceed against all the parties, both
Mayor and Council, who have failed
either in the present or the past to
make an exhibit as TO what has be
come of the tax payers money.
