Say Taxes Will Increase
if Join the City.

one hundred and sixty residents liV-
ing east of Stevens avenue presented a
petition at the meeting OF the city coun-
ell Thursday morning protesting
against the extension of the city limits
to take in Government Hill, Lincoln
Park and other additions lying outside
the eastern city limits. The petition
was referred to the council as whole.
Factories There.
1t is set forth that a number of indus
trial plants have been located in that
section because they were driven out of
the CITY by ordinance under former ad-
ministrations. and that some of them
could not remain in the present loca-
tions should the limits be extended TO
include them. 1t is also set out that the
additional expense of a city tax would
be burdensome and detrimental TO many
who have purchased little homes in the
district.
No Sewerage.
1t is also set forth that, in the Vicin-
ity Of the cemeteries and stockyards
there is no sewerage and none OF the
