HOW TO STOP 1T.

Citizens who thought they were do
ing proper thing when they limited
the Board of City Commissioners to
a levy of nine mills for the city's gen
eral expenses. have been taught with
in the last three years how n Proxy
Board of City Commissioners has cir
cumvented all their ingenuity and
precautions. The Board, as the late
Mr.. Hugill said, contracts eXpendi-
lures without any regard to its ability
to pay them,' and the debt becomes
a charge upon the taxpayers. The
Board could pile up debt each year
that will be equivalent to a twenty
mill levy upon the property of OuI

At the conference held by members
OF the Board of City Commissioners
and the Council last spring, Commits,
sIoner McMrlen remarked that the
Akron tax levy was too low to meet
the city's needs; that the levy would
have to be increased soon Ask Sen,
ator Alexander or any other business
man or property owner what they
think of this proposition to increase
the tax levy, They will tell you that
the way to get rid OF the increasing
treasury deficit is to place the Board
OF Commissioners in the control OF
men who are free to manage the citys
business for the benefit Of the city.

sufficient revenue to meet the increas

ing the property owners TO the hard
ship of an additional levy, should moi
