pared with 1914 of $129,766, or 2.S'
per cent, and as compared with 1911
of $429,55S or 9.26 per cent.
In addition to the foregoing operat
ing expenses, the company spent il

That for the entire six years previ-

Judge C. ]. st. John, of Bristol

of Commission Form of Government,
and much is being said pro and con.
wherever the matter has been care

To the Taxpayers,
I should like to talk with you about
this proposed commission form Oh

here a little; and to present sone
conclusions which, while not orlglhal

pleasure in passing them on TO you
with my heartiest endorsement. III
the first half of my remarks snali
have to go somewhat into detail SO
I trust YOU will hold fast to the SUD
iect until you can hear me through.
One reason / arp doing this is that
some of the really strong men OF the
city-and men who are entirely out
of politics-want me to do 1t. Anotn-
or is that after considering President
Wilson'S recent reference to Ezekiel,

a few persons will doubtless con-
clude that there is also third and
nurely selfish reason-these persons
being of the number who DO not
know that the adoption OF commits
