$1.72 for fire protection.
The figures are given out as part
of the bureaus report covering the
financial operations for cities during
the year 1908. The aggregate cost of

about one fourth as much as those of
New York

New York. the people of Boston paid
more in proportion to population. The

urging upon all his hearers to read

was a much different thing from what
the opposition sought to make it ap-

He wanted to see laws which pre-

The address Of Asher c. Kinds was
to considerable degree a refutation
of the Democratic charge that many of
the towns in Cumberland and York

population during the years that the
Republican party had been in power.
He also contrasted the condition of
labor and the cost of living under Re-
publican and Democratic policies and
denied emphatically that the Payne
tariff bill was responsible for the pres

the greatest increase in the cost of
living was not in the trust produced

per cent. In conclusion he said
