CO-OPERATION OF
CITIZENS ASKED
On the first of September the city
of Clinton owed approximately $56,-
000.00,, including an item of about
$6,000.00 -of accounts payable in cur
rent running expenses, which were
covered with checks against bond is
sue money.. 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

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.

I KNEW them all
Love
1
She was eating in a restaurant
In her old home town;
Relations? None, not even an aunt.
How ravishing her gown
When she sat munching corn on cob
In her old home town.
2 p
She munched it and
She crunched it;
Carressed it up and down.
Her ruby lips were busy
In her old home town.

Lenvoy ?
And then I drove her home;
Reposed her in the^barn;
She had the colic from eatin’ corn
In her old home town.
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.
JOE
I knew hinLwhsn his thriftless dad
Would come home drunk at night;
His mothei; made what clothes they
had,
And never made them right.
They let the little chap run wild
And everybody said,
“He has no chance at all, poor child;
He’d better far be dead!”
This cynic view I used to share
’Way back in ’83, • .
But now he is a millionaire
And he does not know me!
