.ouft On the pony order without a head trav-
ling through the State at cost OF forty
thousand dollars year. 1t will never meet
Third-The system for the city Is both ex-
,ensive and oppressive. The salaries III the
lrst place are too high, and in the second
lace the manner provided for raising the
money to pay these salaries Is covert and op-
ressfve, failing upon the people as burden
which they are poorly able to bear. These
