honorable body what legislation Won
should or should not enact, hut as IA
property holder and long resi-
dent of the city, always Interested in
the general welfare OF our people, /

lative body and are doubtless fami lar
with the outlying conditions.

very beneficial 10 all OF MS If the pub.

authorities, we have come to a place
where there must be some consider
able expense to the city for school
| purposes, or lose large percentage Of
