You know that it is such eXtrayagant salaries and use less offices that has placed our taxes at the highest notch, and driven away from our city home and investment seekers. 1 will be pleased to talk with you this matter, either at your office mine. and furnish you with any intor- nation you may desire If the office is to be abolished it is important that it be made known before any candidates announce them- selves for the place. Hoping for an early and favorable reply, l am, sincerely yours,
 FRED Y. WOOD.
