THE alleged newspaper asserts that many of those who were pres ent and participated in the Greater Nogales convention are not tax payers. That goes without saying. The call was for citizens, business men and taxpayers" to assemble in mass convention, and they did so. It was representative body of all classes who have a voice in the election. On the other hand small coterie of custom house off, cials and political soreheads got together and called themselves a Taxpayers convention, when about one-half of them are perfectly innocent of having ever paid cent in taxes to the town of Nogales.

ALL sidewalks and curbs were paid for by property holders on private contracts, with which the town council had nothing to do. The assertion that the walks cost more at Nogales than elsewhere cuts no figure; but when prices of labor and material in Nogales and else where are compared it will be seen that Nogales cement walks are as cheap as the same class of walks anywhere. But the attempt to make capital out of the matter against the town council was child S play.
