found that our new mayor. Mr.. Weaver,
has done wonderfully well for us in
this matter Of taxation. Yes, 1 know
how the municipal government OF Phil
adelphia is regarded abroad. But for
all that, Mr.. Weaver has done as much
as we think II was possible for him to
do.
He has not broken with the ring
yet, but he has succeeded in cutting
down and equalizing the rates OF taxa

property has risen, the tax PAID is less
