such things as dull days.
Yet, we are like any other man who

we know this :
If you will come to us, we will sell

In Answer to “Taxpayer.”
To the Editor of The Argus.
Replying to taxpayer’s” question in
regard to myself in last week’s Argus,
I will simply state the facts:
1. I was not on the salary commit
tee this year.
2. My first year I was put on the
committee between two old members,
3. These two “old” members fixed
the salary between themselves, and I
simply acquiesced in what they did
not then knowing the duties of the
office nor what they were worth ; and
one of them claimed that his duties
were worth far more than that.
Take it for granted that I had been
in favor of it in January, 1892. The
times have changed. Our treasury is
in a depleted condition, and the city
unable to meet iu obligations. We
should certainly economize; at least
until we have caught up.
