TERSE TOWN TOPICS.

the year 1898 There were Irregularities
in the tax levy ~ that year by which u
number OF the taxpayers escaped paying
their proportion of the tax and now
those who did pay are asking for the
same privileges that were granted the
few who escaped the tax 10y means of
the courts. This il no more than
Justice. We hope that the people Of our
sister city who paid their taxes fot that
year will get their money back and
would advine that hereafter the people
OF this village pattern after our neigh
bors across The county.
