Roche That Are Very Reliable and
Mo-.t Interesting.

of the brldaVa' uninmiU.ee Ittt evening
'1'he attendance was larger and more
enthusiastic than nj held previously.

V Powderly, C, 0 Donovan n ud Mr
McAiulrew from th First ward
The committee 00 literature reported
that the order for circulars was divided
equally between tli" four daily papers
tnd would be placed lu the morning
Tim finance couiinil ten made it favor
able report. Th execiitiya committee
recommended as follows That the
representatives of the several wards
wheiu publiu iueetiugs nri des
ired, arrange lo hold them
ou the Saturday previous to
th election and tue general com
unite will render all the assistance iu
their power That while this couimit
trn wiis orgintltd for the purpose of
foi warding the c impugn for the
bridges, and uot for the consideration
of the n In. : iptsstlon, nevertheless
we are iu favor of abolishing grade
crossings wherever practicable We
recommend that tue wtird committee
men procure t he service of one man in
each block who will see that every
Vote favorable to tlio bridges is east.
The report was adopted
T v. POWDIRltY'. POSITION.
T. V. Powderly read a clipping from
a Massachusetts newspaper, showing
that the city of Lowell borrowed $100,
oud for the purpose of giving employ
ment to unemployed labor, uml said
that this city in buildiug the bridges
at tin- time will be of great benefit to
those that need it most, aud he hoptd
that all good citizens would interest
themselves its securing vote for the
bridges for this reason if for no other.
Mr. Hoc lie showed that the interest
charges paid by tiie oily Was (10,980
less in 1898 than in 1802; that the city
will have a surplns over all -.:.-1 . i :
tares this your of $18,000; that these two
sums will be mora thau sutli.'ieot to
meet the rsiiiiireiuents of the net of the
' legislature which provide that per
cent of the bond issue for the bridges
; without increasing the rate of taxation.
1 He also called attention to the fact
1 that the bonded debt
reduced more than
i 111.1. mid that although the city
erected th Municipal building at a to
tal cost of 1800,000, furnished it at a
cost ot ijn.uOo, bought two tites for tire
angina houses at a cost of $30,000, toe
city debt is less ti day than when the
Municipal building was begun, and he
drew the conclusion that if the city
could afford to dn all this and still re
duce the debt, there was .no doubt but
it could pay torthe bridges without In
creasing taxation.
