8/34 No power of municipal government. Watercarts instead of pipes, filthy buckets instead of drains, a corrupt and violent police, a high death-rate in what should be a health resort--all this in a city which they had built themselves. Despotic government in the matter of the press and of the right of public meeting. Disability from service upon a jury. Continual harassing of the mining interest by vexatious legislation. |
