to know also why Tribune you charge for the city ads nils at least three thre times what they are worth and aDd what if it let out by contract to the News or would be he published at less than thou you charge c arge No wonder you defend the gang you oU have in office Your gang in the council dares dare not ask for bids on the city advertisements For ancient history you are it but bat when it comes cOllies to publish h the news new of today you are the poorest in the paper business You claim the increase in real estate is due to your gang Is tho present stamp slump this year due also to the same agency I think the latter fast fact is so SG Ask tie the t e real estate moo men how bow business has been this year ear They The will invariably tell you yon there is nothing doing Look I at the transfers each day since January 1 and compare them with wie we the same period last year and then thou Tribune if you dare publish the two lists your readers will agree with me that your gang has hal ruined the city The raise in value in 1006 1906 was wu due to Samuel Newhouse buying about two million dollars worth of real estate and W td t the princely buys of the last year These Th se man anon have bave done more to boost Salt Lake ke real estate than the whole American gang has done don or would do in in fifty years yeara Your bunch are the looters of cities citi not the builders builder You roast and toast the hierarch P each day and then than you yon taxpayers taxpayer look at the beautiful buildings tJ they y are building and have built on upper Main lain street treat Look at atthe atthe the building they are now tow finishing credit to any town of inhabitants while whilO the Tribune is ia knocking and tearing the city to pieces daily Look how your gang gan has damaged thus this U s town to such sueh extent that new building Has about stopped that there are hundreds of vacant houses and stores and that hundreds of men are out of work This is the tho result of your gangs misrule Moneyed men are not buying real estate in a slumping market nor are they building Why Because they are being taxed and assessed sed by your gang on Oft public improvements from front 12 to per par cent more than they th y are worth and an they thoy feel under your gangs rule that it is dangerous to do any more work Reply to these statements and leave the graveyard alone a one We do not want ancient history We want answers to these questions because the tho facts are happening now JOHN CONNELLY COl ELLY Salt SnIt Lake November 11 1910 |
