S10, 400 on q grand list of property out side the old lines and inside the pres ent city limits amounting to s650, ,0uo \ 32-m1ll tax was accordingly recom- mended laid.on the property inside the old lines and 16 mills for the. tax rate in the annexed district
 It will be noticed that the board experietced q change of mind on the police signal question since the last meeting and decided that it would be we'll to go into it to the extent of S5,ooO and keep adding to it from year to year. There was lengthy discussion on the proposition to build two new schools next year, one on West Side. Hill and another in the North End. Some of the members of the board, notably MT Bannon. thought the West Side Hill school matter might be deferred there being no crowding there at present and not likely to be any for some time to come. He believed in ample school room accommodation for the children ill all the districts, but he contended that the need of q new building should be more pressing than it is in that district before the city decides to add two mills to it's rate of taxation for that purpose. The other members favored the project and it went through. A bond issue of S3OO.000 to meet the floating indebtedness of the center school district which at pres ent amounts to $260,0OO, was ordered.

Something About Demo-
cratic Candidates.
They Are All Popular With
Their Neighbors
And Will Make Good Repr esen!atives
If Elected.

There is no better criterion to mans
fitness to hold public office than his
devotion to duty in private life. The
man who is honest and shrewd in the
administration of private affairs, will
not deviate from such principles in the
administration of public affairs. He
knows that there is nothing in the
theory, suggested by commissioner
McMillen a week ago that "You can't
conduct public business like individual
business" A man careful in private
life will be careful in public life.
In selecting candi.a.es ror public
offices to be filled at next Mondays
election, the Democrats of Akron did
so in harmony with the above princi-
pies. In every instance the local Dem
ocratic candidates are representative
Of Akron's best citizenship; they are
qualified to fill the offices to which they
aspire, with credit to themselves and
satisfaction to the people. They are
sincere, and if elected, will discharge
faithfully and well the duties of their
respective offices. They are of the peo-
pie and to the people they will answer,
hopeful to please all. if that be possi-
BILE, but above all, to be faithful to du-
ty.
The personnel of the Democratic
ticket cannot fail of commencing itself
favorably to every voter. A very brief
sketch of each candidate follows:
