tax for next year TO 10 cents on the
800. valuation for state purposes and
s cents for school purposes, 20 be fol-
lowed the net year by furthnr re-
duction TO s cents on personal property
aud cents for the support Of schools
For the year of 1907 and thereafter the

Delegate Cunningham, VINO led the
revolt, stated that the proposed scheme
was perversion of the proposed nlan
