In order to restore the bond fund, money was borrowed im mediately to carry out the agreement with the three banks relative to the bond fund being checked upon only for construction of the new sewer and water system, for which the bonds were voted. This $56,000.00 of float ing debt of the town was offset by accounts receivable in various classes, to the extent of about $20,000.00 of good accounts. The citizens of Clin- ton^who owe these accounts range all the way from the wealthy to the poor, but pne and all alike are urged to co operate with the administration in getting the town’s affairs into a good, clean fiscal condition. To do this it will be necessary to secure a bond issue to cover the net deficit, which will be about $85,000.00, and to collect the remainder of the ac counts receivable, so that the entire $56,000.00 can be paid out, and the .street PigSkin Poetry > The referee has just one rule, He uses in football, To penalize our own home team, E’en tho the heavens fall.

Now I can do the distance in 3 flat.” city be pvt op a cash basis, as re gards its current expenses. The accounts receivable which are overdue io the town, consist of ar rearages of taxes for several years, unpaid licenses, unpaid street Assess ments, advances to employees, worth less checks, unpaid tapping and meter bills, and unpaid water and light bills. The undersigned is very sure that Clinton people^re patriotic, but the best patriotism is displayed in sup porting the city govermpent in prompt settlement of all claims, and I, therefore, urge every citizen to help us furnish the city with an eco nomical and efficient administration by paying up all bills due to the city promptly. This will enable us to pbt everything ship-shape at an early date, except the deficit, which will re quire to be funded in bonds, or else carried on in short term bills pay able. The latter form is objection able because the interest rate is high er, and also because in times of stress it may be difficult to finance, and a bond issue will be requested to take care of the net deficit, which will be about $35,000.00. This will be pre sented in connection with petitions for bond issues for street lighting, paving, gnd for additional funds for water main construction and hydrant construction on streets to be paved where such equipment has not yet been installed in its proper size of six inch mains or larger.

BILL I knew him as a little boy Who wore his hair in curls, And took the most surprising joy In playing with the girls. . At school, I never will forget He had his lessons pat, And he was quite the teacher’s pet— I hated him for that. Today he’s number Twelve-Nine Four, And scowling is his brow, And I don’t know him any more For he’s a burglar now. , TOM I knew him when his hair was red, And freckled was his face, And when the village preacher said He’d end in black disgrace. I well remember how at me He used to shake his fist, And growl: “Say, kid, some day I’ll be A famous pugalist." I always fancied that he might Become at least a cop, I saw his sign the other night; He runs a modiste’s shop.
