To the Public: From tine to tinme there have been reqluests for a sttement of City F'inan ces. Believing that a statement in narative form will be of more assist ance to the citizens of Laurens than a mere list of llgures in the trial hal ance sheet, or statement of assets anl liabilities, I submit the following gathered by nyself from the books of the City of Laurens and from data fturnished by .\r. Kitchens, the treas uirer. The Present adm inist rat ion has been called upon to retire $21,.-)00.00 in G, per cent bonds falling due last April, thus saving the city in annual inter es;t $1.170.00. We have put into per manent improvements, for malerial alone, nrot counting labor whilh wo;uld have been paid for anyhow as the regular city force was used, dur i11n the past twenty-two months, Si. :o.0, as follows: .\rlcsian well. and (f(ip Ihii t-dire(' atens of land for oily 11( .. . . ..
