taxat ion Is not likely. The city can not have things that cost money with­out paying for them. I t is not always wise tp seek cheapness alone, and It would be unwise to make mere low tax ra tes the aim. On the other hand the re is a limit to the th ings than can be had, even though t h e y are good things, because the taxes can not be made large enough to secure all the good things. Care to avoid unneces­sary levies and to see t ha t the public funds are properly spen t is ever es­sential. Likewise it is to be borne in mind that those who a r e connected with the city government are custo­dians, not of their own, but of other people ' s money, and those who dis­burse other people's money are charg­ed with greater ca re t han if the ex­pendi ture wefe their own.
