ance of the expressed will of the people.

be more interested i'll keeping down the
q in
fare of the working people of this city, have
taken steps TO delay this work again, which
proceeding may result in keeping hundreds
of men out of employment this winter and
next spring, besides The useless waste cf cap
ital caused by such delay, the interest upon

! ing no larger than is now necessary to ac-
| commodate The city of st. Paul with 80, 900
| less of population than our city; and
Resolved, That no more bonds than the
| first appropriation should be issued to pay
| for its completion, but that whatever OF
pOoC
| should be raised by direct taxation, it being
| manifestly unjust TO saddle all expenses of
| such an improvement upon a future genera
