declared.

"The government has a pecuniary

 Relief Measures

Instead of attempting to pro- vide for municipal bonds, he would have the limit removed from the amount of taxation that may be as- sessed in municipality, as has been done all those years for the schools, leaving it to the people to vote the amount of tax they may deem neces- sary to carry on the affairs of the city or town.
