The Nation Is going after the city
administration with a sharp stick, and
hints at Encouragement of the city's
finances. 1t does look as though the
tax rate Is abnormally high, in view
Of the very limited public improve
ments, but the present deplorable
condition Of the city's financial affairs
Is the result Of a series of blunders
of former administrations. There are
always plenty Of people ready to criti-
else the doings Of public officials, but
when they are asked to suggest a rem
edy for existing evils they are never
able to point "the way out" The
greatest drain on the city's finances In
recent years has been the water works
system, but no u seems to be able
to suggest a practicable plan for
placing 1t on q self-sustaining basis
The columns Of THE CHIEF are open
to anyone who thinks he can form a
plan whereby the water works may be
kept running and the other obliga-
tions Of the CITY met, and at the sam
time keep the tax levy down to the
legal limit. 1t is the opportunity OF
a lifetime for the man of brains.
