8 cents more than gold. Instead of

lowing statement was made: The tax
payers are in the east ward, 12T men

men and 50 women; in the south ward,
46 men and l3 women; whole number
of men paying tax, $40; whole number
of women paying tax, 2O5. The number
of women paying tax i'll the borough-is
almost two-thirds the number OF men,
yet they are not supposed or expected to
know how this money is expended and
have NO voice as to how it shall be used.
Is this taxation by representation!
