90 clerks and other employees. They

paying the tax ou labor.
For. the sake Of the citv and Of all
interested, we trust the clerks and other
wage earuers will proceed conservative

whatever 70 be gained by blusier aud
radical measures Extreme measures

be a tenable one they have the means
of demonstrating the fact quietly and
