We hope every citizen will' read these figures care fully so as he can make himself thoroughly familiar with the condition of our town. . It will be seen that the town is heavily involved in debt. How ever, with the improvements which have been made it took money to do it. The town has a great deal of money dwing from delinquent taxes, also delinquent licenses and paving tax. Now, we all know that money is hard to get, at the same time it behooves all delinquents to strain a point and pay what they can, so as the town government can be carried on. We are satisfied council will do everything in their power to keep from forcing executions upon the peo ple, at the same time to be fair to all, these taxes must be paid. We hope our citizens and taxpayers will read this statement, and then give council a helping hand. Let's boost and net knock our city officials.

Water and Sewer Bonds Account--Cash in Bank $5,454.77. T. L. BAGNAL, Clerk and Treasurer. The Commissioners of Public Works are under the necesisty of building up a cash reserve by reason of the fact that they are not allowed to borrow money for taking care of the Water Works Plant in an emergency which may arise. In an emergency such as now exists for additional water sup ply-without the cash reserve now on hand the Commission would be help less to relieve the situation. The new well at the Ice Plant has reduced the flow of the .town well about one-half, which is not sumlcient to supply the needs of the town. The tomimission is arranging now to install pumping -machinery and this will probably take all of the surplus now on hand. Comm issioners of Public Works.
