By InadvorUnce
Thl piijier, by inadvertence, yeter
day nmrning, eitorially atated tbut
the municipal levy for the current year
had lren increased by 11 mill, when
it should have read even mill; an
error that I gladly corrected since it
is altogether in favor of the city. The
advance in the millage fimply cover the
lack in revenue caused by the abauJon
ment of Uio policy of replying upon
the dubious noun-en of revenue hereto
fore utilized.
