held here That is briefly mentioned the meet
ting and the things discussed Among them we noted
that they record favorng the proposed seooo

they wanted to spend the money 1t did not require
very great of fortitude express willingness to
blow S6,000,000 money for the people. Spending
other peoples money pleasant avocation, but
furnishing the for them to spend is at times pain
full to the public that the taxes The petitions for
the submission of the question the voters will be
