dens arising under the operation Of
this act.
The letter received today informs
Mayor McConochie that while no
money is needed at this time for the
carrying on of the campaign against
the state board, an estimate for a
fair contribution from cities &C
cording to their population has
been made. The amounts desired
are as follows: Cities over $4,000

der $4,000, $40: over 5000 and less
than 10000, SIS; over $500 and an
der 5000, $40, and under $500,
