malee the levy operate as a Ben lien on th the property so making a cloud upon the title of or the J 52 citizens citizen's home until the work worle was done And Antl all alt the Brotherhood of ot Grafters took toole sick The They didn't 50 want Improvement Improvement- where thc they would kayo have to do tho the S work before getting the thc pay The They didn't want an anything any any- tiling thing which ha had work in it Like the regulation tramp tho the world over they wanted the money and antl didn't proof pros pro- pro s V of pose lose to do anything for It V t r. r All MI that is ended No lo wonder the they began tho the cry that some somo wicked Republican had stopped them thorn No Not t w wonder vonder they hunted for tOl a good excuse No onder wonder they A- A I I tried to lay the Ule blame on some ono one else else anyone anyone else else else- haf than themselves rhe The trouble with them was that they made so 50 much noise about it that tho the attention of the people has ha been 1 Y attracted to those old sidewalks that have been paid for and never laid to the sidewalks that have been laid and never vcr connected b by the city to that hundred thousand dollars for the Ninth South sewer that has hag 1 been lying In bank banle for more than a year car without a tap tap being done one to the work of or sewer construction S They have havo attracted

A Brotherhood of Grafters in tho the S city hull hall and lintl at the of ot the Tribune steadfast I I apologist and antl defender of crool crooked ed work everywhere Now the they want to drop tho the
