Sixth District Pays:
 Should Have Share
Nicholas s Te siny Protests Against Furnishing Anti
 Bond District.

Nicholas Tcsiny, president of the North End Improvement Association. took sturdy exception today, to the claims of a portion of the administra- ton press, that because the Sixth dis trict voted against a bonded debt, it should be denied the advantage of any improvements purchased from the debt.
 MT. Tesiny's views upon this typical suggestion were advanced as follows. In an article appearing in a local paper, relative to vote on bond meas ures by the voters of the Sixth dis- trid, the author would have said vot- CTS. punished, because of that vote and auggests that the administration ignore all appeals for Improvements in the Sixth district. and other drastic chastiaement
 Were the voters (which number ], 1,9OO or nore1 of the Sixth district of the same frame of mind as the author of that article they would per haps say we will not read a paper that published such an article and will withhold our business from it. But the voters of tke Sixth district arc broad-ninded enough to treat every mans ideas with respect and all though they differ with the author's had perfect right to his opinion. and to express himself, and to do so with out any fear or intimidation.
 The suggestion that the North End Improvement Association ofeer some sort of apology fer the vote of the district, would be equal to asking the weatherman to apologize because rain fell where it was not needed. and passed over places where 1t was badly needed
 As to cutting out the Sixth district from all Improvements that would
  taxpayers, provided however. that they were not asked to pay for them, bpt inasmuch as they will have to pay their share for the bonded improve ments it would hardly be fight to dfs- crininate against or ignore them.
 "It is true that the North End Inn provement Association have asked and petitioned for certain improvements within their district, but it Is also true that 1t was not because they had them. but because they were paying For them. and did not have them That is the reason for appeals and petitions. that is the reason that the North End Improvement Association was born.
 The NoMh End needs improve ments and needs them badly. not go
 much for it's own convenience, as for the proper development of the city. There is no denying the fact that t1e North End Is unsur passed for resi-
 
 Is the natural way for the city tc grow; there is no denying that th1 North End has grown faster than any other section of the city; there is no denying the fact that the grand list increased in the North End within the any other part of the city. and what has the city done to meet this growth What has the city done in the line ot improvements to give the tax payers an even shake for the money paid in to the city treasury? NothinEs Abso- lute1y nothing! Taking the North End. north of North avenue and i'm cIuding Main street. there is not street-in the. entire section that may be called good and some are in an impossible condition That Is the rea- son for the North End Improvement Associations activity; that is the req son for the North End Improvement Association's existence, that ia the reason for the formation of the Men's league of the North End two hundred strong.

 ssThe North Finders want nothing ask for nothing, only what they know is justly theirs and they do not even ask for all of that. All they ask for is part of it.
 "However, the North Finders do not put the blame upon the adnainistra- ton. for they realize that the admin istration has been 1aboring under dif- hculties for the past two years. but now that the money will be available, the North End will certainly expect it's share of Improvements in spite cG the argument, and suggestion Of the gentleman that would use the bis stick upon people who didn't happen to think his. way.
