Figures Reflect Sound City Management Newberry City income ran a little over budget expectations for the first five months of the operating year, while expenditures were a little off, reports Mayor James E. Wiseman. Total receipts as of March 1, 1950 were $248,160.62 against a budget estimate of $204,668.85. Expenditures came to $196,100.95 against an estimate of $20,771.25. Although the city of Newberry is operating in the “black” so far, it is further noted by Mayor Wiseman that only 76 per cent of the real estate and personal property taxes have been collected and that only 64 1-2 per cent of the businesses in the city paid their licenses before the penalty went into effect The cost of running the city the past 5 months run like this: Administrative $42,514.98 Police department 15,024.07 Fire department 5,029.55 Health department 1,350.00 Street department 16,279.19 Trash and garbage department 11,680.30 Insurance 986.58 Repayment bank loan 20,000.00 New equipment 1,245.13 Witheld taxes (employee income) 2,937.60 Repairs to public buildings 1,301.66 S. C. Retirement System (employees) paid 3,752.12 Discount on Taxes Paid 563.08 Inventory—gas and oil 376.11 Mayor Wiseman says that although the picture looks bright at the near-halfway-mark of the year, it must be kept in mind that the City has received the majority of revenues for the entire year and that expenditures for the next six months will b greater than in the past five in view of the fact that the new sewer disposal plant will soon be in operation and also that the city is planning improvements to the utility system. The Mayor added that the addition to the Whter Filter plant has been completed and Newberry now has a filter plant with a capacity of 2 million gallons per day. He does not anticipate a water shortage in the forseeable future. Day in and day out throughout the year the cost of running the city is $900 for each of the 365 days said Mr. Wiseman.—Com piled for The Sun. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Newberry Clyde M.

But Fight In Vain My crusading friend J. K. Breedin of Manning wired me twice Tuesday to give front page prominence to a protest against the Columbia free spenders. The Colonel is alarm ed over the size of the appro priations bill and the threat of new taxes. I “fought the good fight” along with the Colonel for many years at some material loss. I did not mind the loss as long as I thought something worthwhile was being accom plished but I failed to see where our yapping paid off, so I quit and informed the good Colonel. I told him I .was tired of swimming upstream; that anything the rascals did in the future was OK by me. That was some years ago. I am even more determined in my stand today. What can a few voices accomplish against a nation-wide spending spree set in motion by Washington’s billions, caught up by states and municipalities and all of it shot thru with graft and cor ruption? That we are headed for hell and destruction there is little doubt. Many of the men who are spending this nation into bankruptcy are * sincere men but they are not men with vision or well grounded in the history of nations. They do not realize that after a while they will have to remove all liberty to make their schemes work. Lenin and Stalin did not set out to enslave the Russian peo ple but they had to enslave them to carry out their ideas of government. It can happen here. It IS happening here, at an alarming rate. There is hardly a family to* day in which some member is not a recipient of a government handout in one way or an other. Hundreds of thousands live in government owned houses and subsidies of one sort or another ties other tens of thousands to Uncle Sam. Gradually the tentacles of bu reaucracy are closing about the people and once the pressure is applied it will be too late to yelp about “rights/' There will be no rights except those the dictators wish to hand out. They packed the supreme court. They can junk the constitu tion, or nullify it. I believe * you will confirm my judgement to let the rascals rove, ramble and stampeed and join me in sackcloth and iishes while we await the shackles.
