you why they oppose Il. and why. too
IL won't affect them as much as II

The man OF property says II will

II won't, for the tax rate is as high
rs the law permits.
How will ehe issue be taken care
Of then? you ask.
The city, gncser the Law. Is com.
PEELED to appropriate ten cents on the
dollar that has been APPROPRIATED
TO SOMETHING ELSE, and give Il
to the schools.
This will pay the bonds, lntcres,
and all. In twenty years.
This means, too. that tho city ad-
ministration will have 10 shave some
