in the next tax levy. In my opinion the
next tax levy will be heavy enough without
| the burden.
l desire to call your attention to the fact
that three of the four papers now under desig-
nation belon G to the same political party and
the proposed designation would add another
of the same class.
This legislation is against the policy of our
laws whick have heretofore required news
papers to be in existence for at least a year be-
fore investing them with any right to public
advertisement. For these reasons / veto
your resolution.
Very Respectfully
PETER F. WANsER.
Mayor.

the Board at its meeting held April "a, 1898,
being the first meeting after the receipt of
said veto, and also at the meetings held April
25, 81, 80, 30 and May 1, 1898, but was not
acted on through inadvertence and because
the veto itself had not been called to the at
