of the duty he owes society. For four
years the undergraduate has been per-
mitted TO larry In the hells OF liberal
learning, CLEAN from oil the fields of wis

that a blind adherence to party often

and Alderman Reynolds has many time
and oft grown eloquent over, has at last

explained lis vote in favor Of the resolu-
tion. He said when he was elected may OF
he gave the question before the board
mucn consideration and his message to
the City Council On his Inauguration
showed that he favored IL. The mayor dtd
not believe the new way Of raising money
to build streets would work as much hard
snip ss it was claimed, for when the city
would save the large amount from ex'
penditures on stree is there must be less
money to raiss bJ taxation, ana the prop
erty owner woull be n gamer. he believed
the argument that the outlying districts
had psit for the building of the centr, OF
the city to be fallacious ore for the bg-
ures showed that ABOUT an equal amount
was spent In thcss sections as was raised
by taxation there.
Alderman MCCARTHY asked the mayor
If no meant to say that the proposed
measure would reduce taxes. The mayor
said no, for other Things might keep tae
taxes up, and callsd stten tlon TO the fact
that the act was permissive one and the
