ADVICE TO The ALDERMEN
An Open Letter From the Executive Com
mittee OF Good Government League.
FOR RETRENCHMENT AND REFORM
Vacancies, and select Only Those In
Favor of Economic Measures-The
Question of Higher Taxes.

\ largely-attonded meeting Of the Ex
ecutive Committee OF the Democratl
League for Good Government was he'll
last night. and. after careful considera
tion, the following open letter 20 TIN
Board Of Aldermen was formulated;
To the Members Of the Board OF Aldop
men:
The Democratic League Tor Good Cow
ernment would respectfully call your 40
tention TO the vacancies now existing IL
tho Board of Aldermen. and would ra
quest you TO select for such Nacancicl
only such persons as will advocate IN,
best interests OF the city. and thereby
secure tho beneficial results so much
desired by all classes Of our CITIZENSHIP,
economical administration OF her affairs
QUESTION OF TAXATION.
Tho question OF taxation is one which
affects every citizen. not oily I'm IN,
burdens which il imposes upon her, but
because il IS the means OF preventing
capital from seeking investment here
and give employment TO those dcpenfcm
upon their labor for a livelihood. The
threat OF higher taxation is hanging ovci
the city, and only the economical admins
istration OF her affairs can save our cith
zens from tho burdensomoncss Of such
a result
To the Board OF Aldermen our people
are now looking especially for relief i1
this line, the Common Council having
already put itself upon record as in fayol
OF Retrenchment and Reform.
MOST IMPORTANT.
We cannot too greatly magnify the im'
portance OF this subject. Everybody VIII
admit that the city should live within
her resources. To accomplish this result
IL is absolutely necessary 20 curtail eX'
penses or raise the rate OF taxation. Th4
alternative is with you. and We appeal
TO your public spirit and patriotism ID
act in the best interests OF the city, re-
gardless OF favor or friendship.
BY order Of the Executive Committee.
