TAXPAYERS TAKE NOTICE
Former MayOr Claude Calls Attention
To Ordinance Sees No Reason For
Additional Debt.
(Communicated)

The attention of the taxpayers is
called to an ordinance published in
this paper, and to be voted upon on
Tuesday, June 81, 1910 The PROPOSE
tion is to bond the city for an add
tional $4,000 at A per cent. for the
following improvements:
First Paving West street, 1926
Second Paving Ma d son
street 100
Third Paving Washington
street, l,775
Fourth Paving Clay street. 500
Fifth-Paving Second street. 3,543
Total s 1913
Item sixth to reimburse the city
for paying for the cost of the Rescue
Hose house, $7,957.41, which was
levied for in 1908, and part of the
money used for other purposes and
again in 1909, 81. 741.4l was levied or
the same purpose, being the balance
due on this note, according to a state
ment published over the Mayors sig
nature January 10. 1910
Item Z, for expenses of election
advertisement, printing and issuing
bonds $S89.59
Now let us add to this item the
interest on the bonds for the first year,
$500. and we have 81, $40 SO for the
first years cost of issuing bonds of
$24, 1000.
In the face of these statements,
which are taken from the official re-
ports-why bond the city? We will
pay off $24, 900 July /, and cut the
levy, or interest down $500
There is at 90 cent tax rate an ex-
cess of revenue over running expenses
of about SIG, 900, which amount would
in one year make every improvement
specified in the call for in the new
bond issue
: The seventh item, $3.50. SO, alone
would float debt to pay for West and
Madison streets for two years. | can
seeno reason for an additional debt

Annapolis has poor at her own

people when those soliciting aims for
the poor of other cities-Baltimors,

pathies of the generous public.
Today there has been going from

student. that she met Paul Armstrong,
who then was comparatively un-
known. The two went to London and
were married in that city in 1899.
