MAYOR SAYS FOES TRY
TO STEAL HIS THUNDER
Refers to Haips Prediction Of Lower
Tax Rate This Year

Mayor Moore said today that his
political opponents have been trying to
steal "his thunder by predicting n de-
crease in the tax rate next year.
Councilman Hall told the Chestnut
Street Business Mems Association yes
terday that the 1922 tax rate would be
reduced.
mo higher compliment could be paid
TO the administration which IL 80 per-
sistently criticized in the CouncilmaniC
body than that the administration has
been so economical and efficient as to
warrant the suggestion Of reduction Of
taxes" said the Mayor. a compli e
ment may not have been intended but
il pleased just the same. In every de-
partment we are striving TO keep eX-
penses down, TO cut out graft and 10
render efficient service.
I'VE have been doing so well during
the thirteen months OF the adminiStra+
ton that on Thursday at the meeting
Of the United Business Mems Asso d
citation ] announced the very strong
probability that we would be able to
reduce the tax rate next year or at least
would prevent any increase.
THE Mayor is naturally pleased Ia
have the members of Council indorsC
this suggestion and hopes that they may
be able by cooperation to assist the
administration by making good"
