The knowledge that the duck hunt

caused hunters who like that sport to
be preparing Tuesday for an early
start to their favorite hunting grounds

Since New York gets the income,
it should be content to pay the tax.

The City Council, in conjunction
with the Superintendent Of Police, has
put into effect a plan Of rewarding
policemen for meritorious service,
thereby furnishing an incentive for
greater diligence and activity On the
part OF the police force.
As stated before, Alderman Moran
has assisted to accomplish wonderful
work in behalf Of all the people Of this
city since he has been one Of the very
valuable members Of the City Council.
1t can further be stated in all fair
ness to Alderman Moran that as one
Of the members Of the Finance Com
mittee of that body, that he voted and
worked hard to assist to settle up the
Race Riot cases without such a long
delay, that he voted in favor Of the
four resolutions which passed the CITY
Council along that same line in Oc-
tober, 1921, he voted in favor Of the
special Tag Day for the Fort Dear
born Hospital.
AT all times Alderman Moran is
ready and willing to do anything that
he can to favor the colored people re-
siding in his ward, and without the
least doubt, his many colored friends
residing in his ward will assist to re-
elect him to the City Council at the

Accomplishments of City Council:
!. In the appropriation bills for the

adhered to the policy of keeping ap-
preparations within the revenue and,
in this connection, has taken as the
basis the certi6cation Of revenue from
the City Comptroller. The following
tabulation pertains to the appropria-
ton bills for the years 1921 and 1922:

interest rate on recent bond issues

will save the city approximately ST.

the fife Of the bond issues, approxi-
nately $4,000.
