Council Is Unfair.

That the mayor and the council of
the city of Walla Walla persist in the
face of the united protest Of the citi-
zens and taxpayers of the said con-
templated assessment district to call
for bids on a certain pavement that
is copyrighted and monopolized by the
grantee in the said copyright; and by
so doing openly and notoriOusly dis
criminate in favor of said copyrighted
article to the exclusion of any compe-
petition of equally, if not better, pave
ment than the one specified in
Ordinance No. 1043, known as
the Warren Brothers bitulithic
water proof macaGam; and that by so
doing unfairly and in fraud of the
taxpayers, who will, if the council and
mayor be not restrained, be obliged to
pay an excessive tax greatly in ad-
vance of the cost and benefit that
would have to be paid to other persons
for the Improvement contemplated to
be done under Ordinance No. 1043.
