The business people of Gallipolis
are grooming under the heavy bur
den of taxes that are laid upon
them by the jobbery and extrava-
gancesof their city officials, which
is about 4 per cent And in addi-
ton to this their gas company is
laying it on with heavy hand to
consumers, charging them So per
100 cubic feet The people are up
in revolt at the imposition. One of
the prominent business men of that
city said to us the other day: "Tax-
es and gas bills are driving our peo-
pie away; several business men have
already and others are preparing to
go away with the beginning of the
new year. Our business is run
down, our property is depreciating.
there is no life in the town, and we
can SEQ no bright future for it, and
We are all down hearted and dis
cOuraged." Point Pleasant extends
an open and welcome hand to our

a live town where everythingis life

going up on every hand, where tax
Is are low, and no extortions are
