n. omitted to add, however, as he
would had his purpose not been TO mis-
.a.I and hoodwink his possible readers,
That Is the city had no old Court House

-yyre As an asset, and that, therefore,
.s4 revenues being smaller by whatever
sum such an asset would have brought
IN the market, the expenditures, which
5v 'aw must be kept within the revenue,
would. in all probability, still show
balance on the right side Of the ledger

THE next remark is in the shape Of
c1ullirum:-
-a. would attempt 10 increase his indebt

Tae answer is so apparent that it is
strange ,5atev the anonymous writer
u ,eading circular should have
seal guilty of perpetrating it. Almost
aa- 5.,iueSS maa whose credit was
t-,. ass, Notwithstanding public et-
,-., By designing persons 10 impair 1t,
and whose resources were ample, deS-
g', endeavorS by people with selfish
motives To- have il appear otherwise,
s5 was paying SIS 900 year
lr an inadequate and inferior
--gss,ity, and who saw an opportunity
81 get an incomparably better thing at
IS annual outlay, would, without hes
4.on. give his note for $50, 900 10 thus
-ter his condition, and would in addi-
a be very glad of the chance.
THIS delectable circular then goes
,-iyely on
"A reassessment OF the real estate OF
--citv will be made, making more taxes
Up s0u To pay, ana VIII allow SOu hO III

Tois approaches the condition of high
