CITY HALL

City Hall was packed to stand

ager claims he did not authorize,
with some city councillors TAX
ing the opposite view. The de-
bates have ragged hot and heavy
but, as the Medford Mercury has
calmly observed, if there must
be a revaluation it should be fair
for all sections of the city. Obvi-
ously it is the chief concern of
every citizen to help bring this
about. We announced the public
hearing in this column, but only
a few progressive local citizens
were present, among them Mr..
