Lately the officers of the Taxpayers League stated
In a circular letter, which issued only members
of the association. that if all administrations
capable and trustworthy the present presided
by Mayor Wells the public could be content.
This unsolicited and unexpected commentator not
only explains truly the actual condition of the public

The principal officers of the administration are so

swerve them from their policy. They know their duty
and perform 1.-THE purpose for which they were
elected. But the public should follow attachments
and form Judgment that standard may be estah-
