Some of the holders of large lots
of vacant property in this city nrt
finding fault with our article OF last
week in which we stated that vacant
property should be taxed heavier
and improved property lighter. We
shall stand by our guns in thie
matter, however, and keep up agita-
ton until some good results from
il. II simply is not right TO put a
premium on run down property. a
man should be given some induce
nent to keep his property in good
repair. Tax the vacant property
Iut OF eight il necessary. 1t will
result in lot of vacant property
being improved or thrown on the
market go somebody can buy il and

Of the cellar met her hand. The rays
Of lighted lamp were then turned
