SAY TAXPAYERS HA1
 BROKEN THEIR VIC
Promised Lower Rents i
 Mill Rate Was Pas Then Proceeded to B
 All Tenants.

A new faction-The New BM Rentpayers' associa tion-has er the taX-rate arena, hurling a Taxpayers association a .serid questions to be answered and exIU tions to be given and requestinv electors of the city to go to tn meeting Friday evening to su the group in favor of the highe rate. Of the million dollars SC during the past year by landlol share should be given to the ci4 improvements, they assert, and are out to see that a fair porti given for the necessary i'm I| ments.
 Taxpayers Continue Drive.
 The Taxpayers association ha' let up in its campaign. but, oil contrary. is redoubling it's effo secure supporters for a 25-mill Today the executive committee a message blaming the city go% ment for the increases in rent. absolving the average landlord

The 'passa ge of tn | mill tax will, the committee exI give the landlords further excus raising rents.
 AssaiIs Administration.
 To support the statement thaI city government has been extrayaI figures are given. In 191+ Quigley first went into office. thI penses of the city were sS4s,2i while the recommended apprd tionS for the current year S1,S92, ,922.60. These increases made necessary higher tax rated eventually the rentpayer suffers| executive committee says Rentpaycrs Make Charges.
 The chief grievance of the | payers association is that the pr} of lower rents, should the 21-miI rate be accepted last year, waj . lived up to. Since the rents d soar much higher, they believe time for the landlords to start pI an equitable sum toward cityI provements.
 Profiteeling Is Claimed.
 It has been estimated by the of of the association that there ard 900 rent-paying families in this The average increase in rentai the 21 mill tax has been in efee1 been s7, which, when multiplie| 14,OO0 gives a total of $1,176, 00g though such huge profits have n into the hands of the propertys CTS, they are unwilling to payI city's expenses.
 In its first statement of this the Rentpayers' association comes} ward as being heartily in favofj increases in salaries for all cityI ployes; the proper maintenaliceI supplying of materials for the schools: the building of a coJl station, and the supplying of min the town home ''even though it cost S75 q month As regardsj comfort station, the asso ciation not favor it's const ruc ction in. rear Of City Hall. as was at one recommended.
