their.acquirement.for the city of an In- 1
dependent water svstcm; all of which!
wjwi installed and putd for w.thout any
increase in t&xatjpn. To their street
ami other improvements; the increased
efficiency of the Fit? Department and
the enforcement* of all o'dinarce* with
out fear or favor.' i ? ;
era - taxation
We believe the levy of one percent.,
based on a careful appraisment of val
uta sufficient for the maintenance of
our town government, when expemlit.
ures are economically administered.
We believe in the fair and equal tax
ation of all properly, and that rhe val
uations should be corrected and revised
and relief afforded those whose prop
erty has largely deteriorated la value
water system
We beiieve that our present water
system should be maintained until such
time as the city can afford to own and
develop its own source of supply, with
out impoiing too great a burden on the
taxpayers.
We pledge ourselves to such exten
sion of the system as may be needid
from time to time, and such reduction
In rales as will onable it to be operatod
at cost.
strkkts
We sre in favor of the improvement
of our streets and alleys, ami for such 1
extension of our sidowaiks as can be
provided under ihe Code.
F1RK DRt'ARTMKNT
\\ e believe this is ths most importsnt
branch of the city government, and
that no money sbou d be spared in pro
viding all the hose, material, apparatus
or other equipment nocessary to keep
the department up to the highest slate
of efficiency; and that every known pro-l
tection shou'd be provM -d its members

TAXPAYERS PARTY PLATFORM
-The Taxnayers Party In Nominatlne
Meeting As?embled, views with
ALARM the Spirit of Opposition and
Combination Manifested by the Influ
? nces, that have from tho beginning,
made the Citizens owning but Incon
tiderahie Property, in the Town. bear
the beavkst Burdens of (Taxation, and
M not content with conducting the
Municipality by Employees, who mainly
represent Interest that have chosen to
Monopolize, the BEST BENEFITS of
h Municipal Government, while east- ,
ing the burden of defraying the expanse
upon those whom they would exclude
from Public Affairs, have added only
to their own GANG auch Nominees a*
they htve been able to control and
make Subsft-vlent to their own Special
Interest.
Therefore be It resolved, by this As
sembly (namely the Taxpayers):
Toat not a single person otuthe
G gged ??d Collaed ticket, could by
any chance receive a nomination or
election, at the hands of the lodepend
ont Citiz-ns of Ska 'way;
That we desire a City Government
that will bend its best efforts to provide
Water, Light and all other Public Utili
ties, undo i straight Municipal Control,
ond Fife from the ROPES that have
heretofore TIED us to a CORPORA
TION.
That we desire, a Government of the
people, for the people and by the peo
ple, whose representatives act from the
desires of the Residents of Skagwsy and
not from Offices Located Miles Away. '
That we *ant a fair and equal Taxa
tion which will impose on tboso that
own much, a proportionate Burden to
those that own little.
That we desire an econlmical admin
istration upon a plain business basis,
and v.'ictly for the good of the Town,
AS A WHOLE, regardless of special
?Interest,
Thnt wo desire the prosperity of all 1
our Citizens and corporations but we 1
certainly want FAIR PLAY.
Further; We do not believe, in forc
ing the Taxpayers to PAY >5.00 Per
v voting, as Introduced before tho Out
going Council, by ono of the Nominees,
| for each member of tho Council, on the
| Citizens' Tickct.
On account of Dr. Reed having ac
cepted a nomination for councilman, It
