The city fathers are having no end of
worry over the tax levy. as they have
run up against a law which says that 3
per cent. shall be the maximum levy for
city purposes. under the valuation as
fixed by the board of review. The tax
will not pay the fixed expenses and will
leave the city without a cent to defray
expenses. The mayor promises to veto
every measure to levy tax as the mat
ter has passed beyond the jurisdiction

General Wheeler's testimony on the
first day of his appearance before the
war investigation commission, in tie
opinion of the Philadelphia Times shows
only a little more than was fully know.
before, namely, that in his opinion, in
view of the glorious general results of
the war, its conduct has not been. on
the whole, gravely censurable: and,
being called as an expert witness to
give opinion based on the facts, rather
than the facts themselves, this opinion
comes before the commission as evil
dence.
The testimony, or rather its treat
ment by the investigators, is impor-
tant, nevertheless, in that it confirms
to remarkable degree the predictions
made when the commission was first
appointed, as to its purpose, aim and
ultimate achievement. Thus General
Wheeler several times admitted that
in this or that matter there were avoid
able shortcomings, yet an examination
of a verbatim report of the testimony
shows that pressure of the question,
"Who was responsible" was always
avoided
On the whole the result of the Open

given a feeling of added security to
