was held.
Former Judge George II. Lambert
was the chairman. In introducing
Mayor Haussling he stated that the

The urgent need of home rule for
Newark was made plain to the au-
dience by Mr.. Mullen. who said 1t

high tax rate, as he calls 1t, and not
withstanding that he admitted at a
certain meeting in the Clinton Hill
section that he could not reduce 1t
and at other places he said that he
will reduce it.
"How in the name of heaven does
he intend to reduce it? Has he told !
YOU? Has he told anybody? Does he
propose to reduce the police depart
ment and curtail the protection you
are enjoying? Does he propose to
cut down on the fire department? If

underwriters to again increase their
insurance rate after they reduced 1T
on account of Newark's splendid
fire-fighting force?
"Would he have the nerve to tell
YOU that he wants to reduce the
Board of Health and all its branches?
Would he in that case take upon him
self the responsibility for a natural
increase in the death rate, which
under the present administration has
been brought down six points?
