tempts to give for the information of those inter-
esied. my experience in such undertakings. The
Council of Municipal Reform, with which was many
years connected its president obtained on two
different occasions i1s74 and 1882 amendments to
our State Constitution. The latter that restricting
the percenta Of taxation and the limit of issue of
bonds by city authorities secured ONLY after
five years of labor and passage through two
Legislatures add final vote of the people. Not
withstanding the expressly provided for the
printing of the ballots by the several counties of the
State few were printed and no attempts whatever
made by the counties for their distribution at
the polls Two counties utterly refused 10 print the
ballots aud taken those counties. The
Council theI efore obliged to allow all their efforts
for so long time to be frustrated the Office holders

were furn shed and distributed throughout nearly

this work was borne by few of the members of the
Council AMI less number Of the animal contributors
TO its funds with very liberal contributions from
our largest real estate holders and two Of the life
insurance companies OF this ,rty.
From the above facts think any persons who
template a revision Of State constitution must
make up their minds not TO depend too much ON
subscriptions from the general public but to put their
hands deep down their pockets to find the
means 10 pay The expenses Of holding such con-
