tanned by P. L. Pierce prevented the
city from paying for it by the usual

the taxpayers meet this charge is very
encouraging to the collectors and not a
single person approached has refused
this voluntary payment. Instead of
fighting the injunction in court, the
council took the right course in saving
the expense of litigation by collecting
special tax, for eventually the tax
