for park purposes, and several other ex-
traordinary liabilities incurred in the last
three or four years, kenough debt to be
met by taxation to keep her tax rate in
the vicinity Of $40 for several years to
come. 1t is true that Deering has in
creased her debt this year and will also
add considerable to 1T next year, but rs
she is able to bond 1t for long term OF
years it can be carried over without her
citizens feeling the burden in the least;
The other questions raised ara based
upon individual opinions. Ii any man
believes and can find any reasonable
grounds to support that belief, that Great
er Portland will spend more on the
streets in Deering than Deering now
spends, that is his right; or will furnish
us better sewers, more sidewalks ana BET
ter fire protection on the same tax rate.
We know what progress we have mace
in public improvements during the pas6
six years, we know that if we spend our
money wisely and economically we can
accomplish as much more In the next SIX
years. Our tax rate Is within our con
troll, and our money will be spent Within
our territory. No man can guarantees
that it will be SO, if we become pafU OF
Greater Portland.
Our city is now comparatively clean
politically, but in every large city the
municipal government is largely cues
ton of politics, and political tnnuehoe
or "pull' is necessary to accomplish any
results Portland is no exception to the
rule. AS yet Deering is entirely free
fir ON ward three and ward four politics.
They have no interest in us, nor we IN
them, They will have, when We become
wards eight and nine. Judging from
reports, contact with them can hardly be
elevating. -,
The question then is, shall the citizens
of Deering allow the sentimentalities in
dulged in about. Greater Portland to lead
them to give up certainties in the line of
public improvements and benefits for
probabilities, to wipe out city so clean
politically as Deering to become part
of the political system of Portland, and
all for the sake of the prestige an increase
of seven thouand Inhabitants will give to
Portland.
