Under this Organization we have reached POM
in the history Of this city when have government
bv the worst citizens against The best respecablty,
honesty and the true interests OF the people eeg ID
Tammany Hall has Instituted system Of indGl-
genoes ana privileges for the favored ones, and for
those outside of It's membership who N money o.
Notwh standing the false pretence 10 low taxes the
rate being lower while taxable values are lncreaseO
We have had larger expenditures and tho city has
history until she has reached the constitutional limit
which Be the only bar 70 greater indebted
ness.
our police force Is degenerating and becoming par
tisal. schoOhOusss Inadequate, Our streets are
shsmefully dirty and dangerous Our water is IN
pure. our tax system retains the methods OF q hun
cred years ago. Taxpayers have u take their places
IN long line. exp5seo tc al manner OF discomfort
and annoyance 10 pay tie yearly tax levies, which
have been anticipated by loans al cost 70 the city Of
$500 900 In interest instead Of being allowed 70 pay
advance at their convenience, thereby saving the
interest.
our Department Of Public Works, partially Or
wholly, cOnfscates the vacant property Tor improve
merits. BIZ collision with favOrtes and contractors.
Cur Dock Department serves notice, through the
appearance Of docks, 70 every stranger who lands
upon our shores. tllat the only virtue OF the city
