The meeting; waa announced for 8 o'clock, as aldermunlc meetings hare been announced since there was a ' iMiard. and at promptly eight the hoard .met, hut In "executive session,' which continued until 8:35. During this ses sion several of the spectators tired of , the hard seats In the city hall, and de cided to leave the Aall In the posses sion of the "old guard."

It fetua bersistooarXrUl the. past-fort ildermanle boards to- accept tne tax ruliiatibn for No. li township as set by the county assessor, and upon a motion by Frieae, seconded by Day vault, the present board followed this time-honored custom. At this partic ular point on their Legislation Jour ney the road had been cut deep and smoothed In' the ruts . by one-time hoards, and to the delight of all pres ent the Fathers voted to follow this road, rather than pose' as trail bias era, seeking to establish new routes. -The amount of taxes for the yir 11)1(1 was next brought to the attention of tbe board, and the perfect rqnning, powerful legislation Car did not hesi tate nu the problem. Here again we see the wisdom of the "executive ses sion," Here again we also see the wls- . dom of following a "good lead." The memltera of the lioard were thoroughly familiar with tbe amount of money needed. They - knew how much could be raised -by the old levy. They knew the old road was good. They dreaded the raucous palaver that would follow a suggestion - that they .raise or de crease the levy. Kphhtns moved that they Accept the levy of 1018. ldy sec onded the move, and' It passed "with out a dissenting vote." ' a, ' The levy for 1010, therefore, will be: .
