event in the history of this organization
and in the long and successful service
which this store has been privileged to

Undaunted by the destructive fire of

re-established itself and today offers to
the people of Pocomoke and vicinity

which is home-like and inviting, and more

Benton City:
AND WHEREAS if for no other
reason than the present financial
condition of the tax payers of the
county and the heavy burden OF
taxes, irrigation district assess
ments, and in some localities
drainage assessments, the present
is no time to make unnecessary ex-

and L. L. Todd of Benton City are
directly responsible for the circu-
lating of said petition and who as

excess of ninety five per cent OF
the lots in Benton City and who
as mortgages are interested to
the extent of many thousands Of
dollars in the lands Immediately
surrounding said lots.
AND WHEREAS the present

lease which expires in August,
1928, can be released for term of
from two to five years at the rent
al of 81 10000 per year.

SOLVED:
That the attempt Of S. j. Harri-
son and L. L. Todd to increase the
value of their property in and a
round Benton City, by having the

at the expense of tax payers of
the county, be unqualifiedly con-
demned.
