He believed that the assessors areâ€"sworn to make a fair and equable assess ment of all properties in Berlin and it was his intention to see to it that these officials do their duty. He did not have a high opinion of the Board of Trade, which promoted the sugar factory bonus when workingmen were striving ‘for an eightâ€"hour day . and in ‘return the employes were compeliâ€" ed* toâ€"work twalve hours seven . days a week at 15 cents an hour, and inâ€" ‘duced the union men to <support . it Marvelous case of Leo Cortigen which shows that #kin <diseases hbéreâ€" tofore considered hopeless can be cured.
