doubt whatever that strong organi.
cation Of this kind free from politics
and other improper influence would
result in saving Thousands OF dollars
in useless expenditure to the city and
county and also creating q tendency
toward more uniform assessment
and better pubic service. Business
men and farmers Of practical sxper-
fence should dominate its Affairs a.
they do their own private business
and not leave public business entirely
in tie hands Of those who happen to

isuting this matter we believe it 10 in
