wishes of the people. But / venture the
statment that il viii never be accom-
plished by the movement that is on
foot TO disrupt the present Republican
rule. Not in the interests of tax payers,
but IN the interest of Schening poll
ticians.
THE records OF this administration
are open TO the public for investigation.
y comparison between it and former
administrations will convince anyone
that 1t has been the most economical
or any of its predecessors. and this in
the face OF the fact that the depart
ment of public work has tried to find
employment for the city's poor. giving
them an honorable means OF livelihood
rather than enforce the strict economy

ity OF the city and county.
The condition Of a great mass OF
our population. and they don't pay the

they have right to live here and exist
as best they can. Yes, much more
might be said on this subject. / might
mention the fact that during Aliens
administration s3S0.0o0 in bonds We're

HE GIVES FIGURES
COUNCILMAN OLIVER DEFENDS TIL
PRESENT ADMINISTRATION.
Figures Set Forth TO SHOW What Has Been
Thinks the Citizens Movement is a
Demo-Pop Scheme to Break Republican
Harmony Before the Next County Flee
Observation-Disclosures Friends to be
Found in the Republican Party--Other
Municipal Matters Discussed.

Councilman Frank Oliver said TO a
reporter for the Eagle yesterday:
What do / think of the call for a
citizens meeting in the interest of re-
trenchment? Simply that the investi-
gators are not sincere in their object.
and have induced representative citi-
zens to sign such a call under a mis-
representation of the real object. One
or the business men in the movement
has been a Pop" for the last four
years and is now fathering this move
ment with the expectation of assisting
the Democrats to break down party
lines in the city election not for the
benefit of tax payers. Oh, no. But with
the hope that by weakening the Re
publican city organization they stand
a much better chance of defeating the
Republican ticket next fall Yes, re-
trenchment should be considered. En-
penses OF our city government should
be reduced whenever possible. but not
to the detriment of the service. In
telligent tax payers can't expect the
present adminiStra ton to assume the
responsibility for the present burdens
imposed by taxes. Neither Is the ad-
ministration willing to let 90 broadcast
that are being circulated. for no other
object on earth but to condemn good
men and push others with far less bust
ness ability and much less interest III
the welfare OF our city. Yes i under
stand some are pointing with pride TO
the city government of $780, quoting the
rate of taxation. etc. Yet that was the
year that the Clement administration
had to issue $4,000 refunding bonds to
cover shortage in the general fund.
When the expenses of the city exceeded
the levy for such purposes. OF course
the rate was low. The present admin
istration could do the same, if the law
permitted. but happily that law has
been repealed.
NO sir, this administration is not re-
sponsible for the present condition. In
round numbers this city owes $3.50 900,
Bonds voted by the people for railroads,
$40 200; for city building, 100000; fund
ing bonds by Clements administration.
$50, 600: bonds for paving intersections
Of all streets, S25, 200; Oak street bridge.
81 zoe; Sundry bonds for streets and
fire houses. 900.
''Of this amount the present admins
tration is responsible for only $1,000.

it. In the first place there has been a |
