There was a fairly well at-
tended mass meeting at the
court houae Friday to combat
and discuss the petition being
circulated to abolish the city cor-
poration. After the question
was discussed from both sides,
it waa the sense of the meeting
that it would be very unwise to
abolish the corporation, The
many advantages of the city in-
corporation were shown by var-
ious speakers, and was clearly
demonstrated that to aboliab
same would entail a much larger
cost than to keep the city incor-
porated. The Ledger admits
that the recent city equalisation
board raised the valuation on
most city property entirely too
high, but the city council has
published a statement over its
official aignature that this rate
will be lowered next year, and as
this Is the only reason for the
petition, It seems to us that their
cause falls fiat. We cannot re-
frain from saying that after ma-
ture thought we honestly' be-
lieve that any thinking man or
