Workings Of An Obnoxious Law-Many
Cases This Morning.
This morning before Judge Shove eight
persons were fined az and costs.
Michael Burke OF Walthsm was given
six months as sturdy beggsr.
Richard Grsyorel Of Haverhill who was
locked MP for safe keeping was dis
charged. He is supposed to be little un-
balanced.
Catherine Carroll, 66 years old, was sent
home. Joseph Mason was discharged. He
had f2s0 In his pockets.
The men fined looked half starved and
we're ragged showing the condition OF the
times. They came from Waltham, Put
nam, Holyoke, Weir Junction, Woon-
socket, Haverhill and Attleboro. One of
them, Patrick Murphy OF Woonsocket,
fell off the Pswtuckes Hotel steps and
received bad cut over the left eye which
DR.. Lane sewed up.
The working OF an unjust law was seen
when Murphy and Michael Mccarthy OF
Holyoke were arraigned on warrants
charging them with carrying concealed
weapons.
Each OF them had razor In his pocket
when arrested. They pleaded guilty and
were bound over in the sum Of s100 each
to the Common Pleas Division Of the
Supreme Court. These men said they
always shaved themselves and did not
have the razors with the intention of cut
ting anyone, but the new law makes 1t a
crime to carry rszors or In fact almost
anything else.

OUR TAX RATE.
HIs Really over - Instead of 81 5o-A
Comparison.

IL Is Really over - Instead Of 81 50-A
Comparison.
The subject OF increased taxation, no
matter how much IL is explained, will not
down, and the extravaganza OF our City
Councils since the incorporation OF the
cny is made more manifest by q few
backward glances, and the clipping, as it
were, OF few historical pages from some
OF the old tax books.
The last year OF the town government
found the income OF the~city from taxes
To be s23i, ,Sl0.92 and 1t was an amount
which nearly lquidated all legitimate
claims against the town.
In 1885 the increase from his source was
the normal one OF trihe over 5000
ing and improvements.
In 1887, however, what do we find? The
real estate valuation ssised "a per cent,
or from sl3,S5s.7l to sls,591.221 thus in.
creasing the revenue from taxes from
s24O, 80 in 1856 to 3l4,2660S, excluding
sewer and curbing assessments.
The extrsvagant City Councils have
more than kept pace in the expenditures.
There has not been year since the in
auguration o. the city that they have not
exceeded the income OF the city by from
900 900 to 500, 900 year.
In fact, 50 extravagant have they become
that man who owned a house and lot
eight years ago, when he was taxed for 1t
at certain valuation and has made no

IL he would look back and see what his
valuation then was and figure it out with
the amount Of taxes he is now paying, he
would find that he was paying taxes at the
rate OF over s2 per 300 on the valuai ion
that existed before the incorporation OF
the city.
This IL no isolated case. Ii can be
