We have been going fast We have been pling
up debt against the taxpayer which has become almost

ments before they needed We have hurried about
work that could waited two. three five years.
We all this the behest Of the real
Spectator and the and the private selfish
interest burden of debt upon nearly every
home in this city.
The time ripe to call halt.
The Star and its thousands OF axpayng readers realize
that the main this necessary worhat nearly all Of

But as look back the stupendou aggregate Of this

We the taxpayers while proud Of achievements in the past
cry a loud AMEN when you ask for a halt
We believe the taxpayer and the small home should
have chance to catch up Let the citizens build few
factories and few more business places which employ
people before they for further burdens the
payer.
We thank YOU Mr. Thomson for the stand you have taken
thank YOU on behalf Of the thousands OF struggling home
owners to whom daylight is many years away.
And YOU Mr. Taxpayer your councilman and tell him
that YOU want him uphold the hands Of Mr. Thomson in this
