McDonough ob- jected to the expenditure of $500 for the building and maintainance of a municipal slaughter house. He in opposition and was answered in a like manner by EX-Representative Thomas H. Kehoe. When the esti- mates were voted on there was doubt and it required three test votes be- fore they were declared passed. There was considera ble interest in the meet ing and Turner hall was well filled. Many policemen and firemen, with as many of their friends they could muster, were present for it had been noised about that an attempt would be made to cut out the increases rec commended in their pay. No such ac- ton was started however. As re- suit of this meeting a tax of fifteen mills on a dollar was laid upon the ratable estate of the first taxing dis trct and an additional tax of four mills was laid on the second district. The six tenths mill was previously laid.

We are compelled either TO Increase the
subscription to $1.50 per year or TO take
steps that will stop all leaks and waste
We hope by doing the latter TO Keep
the subscription price at one dollar
We are making announcement OF our

TO continue sending the paper until
death, poverty. disease. hopeless de-
linquency, or an earthquake caused
break. This IL bad business and OFTEN
times very unsatisfactory. Some peo-
pls get the impression that the pub
fisher IL trying TO force the paper on
them. This il one thing the publisher
Of the Big sandy News can truthfuily
..y he has never intended nor had any
desire 20 do. In soliciting we do not
even insist strongly upon anyone SUD
ecribine for the paper, because VIC new
ar want to push II upon any person.
Our efforts are directed chiefly TO max
| ing a paper worth the subscription
uriee. Nevertheless. a few people seem
10 think the paper il being forced up
ON them when II continues beyond the
date paid for.
on tho other hand, we have had Q
number OF subscribers TO resent oui

piration OF the period paid for, sayint

change IL made II will be absoiute,
necessary to enforce II impartiaiiy
The mailing list win be in charge o

Although as above stated, the prop
