THEY WANT TO KNOW
Members of the Tax Payers League
VIII Interrogate Commissioners.

The city and county commissioners
have been invited to attend the meet
ing of the Tax league which will be
held tonight. The members of the or
ganization desire that the city COM
missioners attend the meeting and ex-
plain the condition of the funds in
the various departments in which
shortages are claimed. The county
commissioners will be asked to ex-
plain the tax Ievies which have been
made during the last three or four
years.
The city commissioners who have
shortages in their departm ents will be
given an opportunity to explain the
cause. The members of the Tax
league want these commissioners to
explain and they can do it by telling
of the emergencies that have occurred
during the last year. Commissioner
Stotts has been required to spend a
large part of his budget in the Interest
of the health of the people of the city
in trying to stamp out the smallpox
epidemic which prevailed last summer
and the shortages in the other depart
ments can be explained as satisfactor-
lily as those in the department Of
health.
The county commissioners have at
tended former meetings of the Tax
league and withstood the cross fire.

to look at him while he is speaking
because he has good strong hands and
a facial expression that makes no

two sentences he sets you right on
