 Alice Interrupts
 Alderman Nair had been talking for some time when he said he felt as if he were in the common council
 lover there is MT. Alice, he's al ways at our common council meet ing
 "Cut that out. Suppose you talk about the assessments" Alice said. Applause greeted Allee's remarks.
 Attorney Nair continued:
 "There is a certain citizen who re- fused to pay his taxes. He had chill dren going to school and it was de- cided that he must pay them. So we got the s2 he owed"
 That's false, too," Alice flung back.
 Continuing, Nair said: q am not going to be dictated to as to what I am going to say. I am used to hecklers."
 It was Alderman Nair's conten- tion that most of the work in the first ward was done by the repubi- cans, although there was a demo- cratic mayor
 Toward the close of the talk he said he was going to talk about as- sessment but because my friend said so I won't"
 In a brief talk Chairman Gins burg said McDonough will not be fighting one or two wings of the re- publican party but the united organ ization on election day.
 "Smoke Out" McDonough
 Although he did not intend to take an active part in the election Attorney Sexton declared that cer- tain statements by McDonough should be corrected.
 He said he was finally able to find out what the democratic candidates record was. Attorney Sexton named them as follows:' Youngest com missioner" qualification number 1; ment for quarter of a century. He said he was on the board of health but I do not think he stayed there long because members serve without a fee. He was on the board of com pcnsation and assessment which pays s2OO annually. He was a mem- Der for 20 years and has received s4.000 for his services"
 Speaking on the reassessm ent question Sexton referred to Me Donoueh's remark: "Tll start with myself when l reassess the prop crty.'
 'McDonoush. George Levitt and William Farley arc owners of prop | crty across from the Burritt hotel where a gas station now stands. They bought that for sSo,O0O but it is assessed for sl6,5o0," he said. Continuing Sexton declared;
 We are led to believe that prop erty is assessed for 75 per cent of it's value. This property should be assessed for about s60.o0o. Their bill was s450 and it should have been s1,7oo.
 Has McDonoush become con- science stricken all of sudden?" At this point MT. Alice interrupt | cd with the question:
 Was it McDonough's fault that | he has a low assessment?"
 'I don't say it IS McDonoush's s fault but am giving this to show the gross inequality of assessment" the lawyer replied.
