 Upon this proposition. the committee after reeItIng the premises, report as foi!owE: We consider the lease asked Tor m Its present form too indefinite. in- asmlch as u does not specify the par lcular class or amount of improvements tO be placed on tue said iand; farther more exemption from taxation IS asked for without any assurance bslng given that the city VIII b. benefited otherw4se by be sHId improvement"
 TIe CITIZ.S Y therefore has not ms quoted or jumbled the matter up. and ls did not EcJ through spite and caprice, but 1t followed closely the record. The only question at issue is the wisdom of the denial Of the application.
