There are streets in this section that
are a disgrace to the CITY," Mr. Thompson
declared. I'VE get about $500 worth of i'm
provements every three years"
Our taxes have been raised, and the tax
receipts set forth that the taxes are for i'm
provements; but we didn't get any of those
improvements" another member asserted.
1T would be a good idea for this asso-
citation first to have 100000 appropriated
In order that the southeast may catch up
with the northwest" another suggested.

ances, and the secretary was Instructed to
