A Queer Thing in Politics

New York, 1895

Energetic efforts are being put forth by citizens of Long Island City to prevent the Union College company's tax bill, now before the Legislature, from becoming a law. Through this measure the College company seeks to get rid of about $300,000 back taxes on its property in Long Island City.

The subject was brought up at a meeting of the Republican city general committee Monday night, and it was unanimously agreed to submit the matter to a vote of the Republicans throughout the city, and primaries will be held Monday night.
