work demanded. The road to advance
ment in all the great lines of work IN the

greeter than the supply.

Mess. Mayor and Council, wouldn't it
be good idea to publish what the town
spent last year. What it Yves. What
ate the finances No legal taxes can be
levied for The current year until Tie mat
ter is figured out and a Statement made
about hat we need for This yea. Who
know what we spent last year, who knows
how much W. owe The argument has
been made that because there were debts
made for certain extraordinary improve
menls there could be no move made to-
wards getting rid of the dispensary nui-
sance, without Increasing taxes. The law
allows no such new debs being made
And if they are made in manner pre-
scribed by law then the tax for same has
to be specially levied and kept separat
from the other,iunds. II they have been
illegally made, then the individual of
fcIals are liable, and not he town. And
illegal debt is simply all Illegal debt, and
gill stay SO until the end Of time. This
is plain business proposition, The PEG
pie Of the town ought to know aud have
right to know how their money is spent
BY saying publish, we are not to be con-
sirued to mean anything III, diving extra
cost.

Messrs Council We ask the question
All parts of the city Of Leesburg have TO
pay taxes, or have the town funds spent
on the electric light system. The Coan-
Gil is supposed to be running public
street lighting plant. Ii so, why is it that
most Of our town and the most dangerous
part CAM gel any lights. What rights
has a public council to discriminate
against one pit and light another, What
right has a council if indeed under the
charter it has any right TO 60 into the
private lighting business, to discriminate
against one iii favor Of another. What
right has it 10 charge the poor man who
can't buy one light iour times the price
charged the other who Can take a dozen.
Why fight discrimination III trusts, and
cuss the railroads and start light trus
with the peoples money. The light busi-
ness is all right, but all the citizens should
be fed out OF The same spoon.
