When Chairman Campbell called the
town meeting to order last night, the indi-
cations were that in point Of numbers it
would fall below the previous one. About Q
o'clock, however, the room commenced to
fill, and in q few minutes q respectable au-
dience had gathered.
Judge Hubbard read the bill as agreed
upon by the Committee. Its main features
are similar to the one of two years ago,
and there is but slight discrepancies be-
tween it and the points agreed upon by our
delegation in the Legislature.

Upon the conclusion OF the reading, Mr..
Mccullough moved that it be printed for
the information Of the people.
Mr.. Whitton desired to know at whose
expense.
Captain Rock was inclined to treat Mr..
McCullough's proposition rs a joke. He
did not see where the money for snch n
purpose would come from, and was also-
lutely certain the papers would not do it
for nothing. lie thought it a rnac on Mr..
McCnllough's part to defeat the purpose of
the bill.
Mr.. Dunkel was Of the impression that
the taxpayers would pay for it if called
upon. Sbould the bill he printed. every
reader would he able to Judge whether they
wanted 10 he incorporated under its pro-
visions or not. bnt it would be taking snap
Judgment to simply adopt it without
thoroughly understanding what it in
voivcd.
Mr.. Mccullough said that If the ma
jority Of taxpayers favored the bill he
would clcerfully support it, and made a
motion that they be called upon TO bear
the expense Of printing.
Judge Hubbard thought it folly to dis
cnss the subject OF printing it. There was
no money for such purpose. and none
could be raised. lie proceeded 10 give
some statistics 10 prove that a city govern
ment could be run as eheaply az under the
present system. He gave the salary OF the
various oiiicers as provided for by the new
bill and claimed that taxation wonld not
exceed one-hah OF one per cent. u Re
corder's Court, he stated, would pay 81 300
yearly above expense
Mr. Sadier sa'" ina ne could NOT DE con-
viiiccd that n taxation Of one-balf Of one
ner cent voull cover the expenses az n
city government. lie claimed that all de-
partmcnts wonid be crippled i'll advance il
