He declared that all know that we
have no right to- insist that these
questions should be submitted to the
people and it is said that the city gov
crnment will not put the questions On
the ballot. Why? Do they not wish 70
know whether the tax payers want
The money expended for these i'm
provements, or is it because they
wish to accommodate those who pay
one third Of the volume OF the taxes?
They should be our servants. not our
masters; they should act according to
wishes Of q majority. If these ques-
lions are not submitted, then it only
remains for those who are opposed to
this expenditures, to register their
vote against the Appropriation Bill. as
q whole, that is vote NO and then the
citysgovernment must revise this APP
preparation Bill and perhaps would be
willing to listen to the will Of ma
jority if the majority vote Is against
the bill.
The subject matter, should be of
interest to every voter whether he
owns real estate or not. He may not
pay taxes directly but II the taxes are
increased. every man, woman, and
child will be paying them indirectly
through the increase In prices paid in
prices for rent, food and clothing.
We were given to understand that
the expenditures this year would be
$201,0 but this Appropriation Bill
did not include-the revenue which the
City would receive from the State and
which the Government would receive,
amounting to about $4,000. So the
expenditures of 1924 are likely to
reach the total of s241, 900.
