lFoNtical Advertisement-No Charges]
Frank Pierce, who has been exceed
ingly meek and quiet in his campaign
methods while running for mayor, will
put into circulation a hand bill signed
TAX Payers Committee" and bearing
the printers imprint of 1.-The Herald
Printing Company" as the only ident-
ity to authorship. 1t recalls the city
tax levies Of fifteen years ago as an
appeal for Frank Pierce for mayor
saying that 1--WE guarantee that Mr..
Pierce can and will again reduce the
tax levy
There may be something of humor
in the Ingledue administration candi-
dtae advertising that he will reduce the
lngledue administration tax levies but
there is also amusement to arise from
the things that are not said. No men
ton Is made of the official report Of a
special auditing committee filed with
the city council March 81. 1901 nor Of
an unofficial auditing made public
March 9. 1901. nor of a certain tram
saction in fuel nor of any grand jury
Investigations in April. 1901. No men,
ton is made Of q $40 900 sewage dis
posal plant with the cement being
hauled down and then back again.
These things appear funny because of
their absence.
However. since Pierce is going to
cut the Ingledue tax levy it ought to
have been stated whether he would be-
gin with the paid fire department?
Fire Chief I. T. Kirby served in 1901
on the citizens committee along with
L. c. Abbott and others who set some
accountants to work on the mayor 9
books. The fire levy has jumped from
l mill in Pierce's time to since with
advent OF paid fire department with
Kirby in command. A cut here would
reach Kirby all right.
Since most Of the police force have
refused a request to line UP for Pierce
it should have been stated whether this
expense would be cut since the police
are now costing US nearly $4,000 per
annum
The police and firenlen's pensions of
mill, too, is new levy since Pierce's
day and, Of course, would have to go.
Since the improvement fund of 3

we still own Pierce's Park which was
what we enjoyed in Pierce's day.
The library levy, too. might De cut
back to Pierces levy when Pierce re-
duces the taxes.
We now levy mills for our street
lighting system, a levy which We olo
not have in Pierce's time and this, TOO,
would probably go. Ingledue's scheme
to use this levy to apply on the pur-
chase of Jones & Hovey's property has
evidently been discarded for campaign
purposes. In Pierce's day this was
called a mill levy for water works
and yet the expenditures in this fund
exceeded the receipts $4,000 during the
last two years of his administration
alone and when Merritt Greene, as
chairman Of the water works commit
tee, began a reorganization short time
afterwards, 1t was discovered that sew
eral hundred water consumers had
been receiving water in Pierce's time
without paying for it. The city clerk S
report of March 81, 1903. estimated
that $4,000 per annum was being coll
lected from consumers who got their
water free without having their ac-
counts on the citys books In Pierce's
time and the receipts in the water de-
part,nent jumped from $12,74S for 1899
(Pierce's time) to 327,597 for 1908.

Fielding and Harry's father, dead, had been

fact that the blue Of the sky was now

that the breeze that had been stirring all
