Your DTotestants claim that the printing bill OF
S152 for part OF crossing, $3.50 feet, Tie work
only costing S779 10, Is excessive AID unjust.
Such complaints are nothing new 10 you, they
come again and again from property owners all
over the city. II Is high time that those who,
10 the main, support tie government ofthis city,
the property taxpayers, should be given feli-I
from such wrongful lmDOSltlOus as lie over

Using. The system is radically wrong to turn
the property over 10 the pilage Of the official
newspaper for the benefit the city receives from
some free advertising In that paper. The city Is
able and should pay for all the necessary official
publications. aud The property-owneTs should
pay for such publication as concerns them, but
MOI one cent more than IS necessary.
