tons, which would probably carry out
"Voter's" ideas:
Let the city officers 20 without saIa'
ries. They are all bondholders and can
easily afford it.
Let the hands who have worked on
the streets whistle for their pay. What
il they do need money and owe
grocers' bill and have a draft as long as
a clothes-!ine and have debt due to-
morrow? Let them stand the grocer
oil and file exemption papers.
Or, il money must be had, let Coun-
ell devise plan by which all city taxes
and water rents can be instant-Taney-
ously collected. This will fill the city
Golfers and obvlate the necessity OF
borrowing money.
These few suggestions are innocently
thrown out for Voters" benefit. 1t is
very evident he has spent many sleep
less nights over the question he moots
and our desire is to afford him instant
relief. But bright idea flashes across
our gigantic mind-perhaps Voter is
wealthy and will advance this money
himself at per cent. He ought TO.
