LOCAL. MATTERS
CLUBS.

We are constrained to say to those SUBJ
scribers to the FREE TRADER, who have
been taking the paper in clubs at 81 year,
that, as the white paper on which it is
printed now costs more than that, it is OBJ
vious We can afford the paper at no such
figure. We shall for the present receive
$l.50 a year in advance from all subscrib-
ers alike-we may be obliged to put it up
higher, there is no hope of being able to
take less.
We see, in some clubs about to expire,
the names of many old friends and SUBJ
scribers, who, we imagine. will not
want their papers discontinued. Such, on
receiving the paper, will understand that
we have now no rates below 81 so a year,
and if. as we can hardly believe, this is too
high for them, they must notify us at
once,

CRY FINAsCEs.-The Ottawa Republican,
for the last two weeks, has been making
general drive at the City Government,
but as the editor gave no specifications or
figures, We inferred that either the city
printing had been lean job or there was
some trouble about his bill We were,
however, led to test the truth of his clos
ing remark two weeks ago, that our city
authorities are not required to give an
account of what they do with the peoples
money by call on the City Clerk. Con
trary to the Republicans statement We
found all his papers in order and correct
and careful vouchers on file for every dol.
lar of the peoples money that has been
expended
The City revenue for the past year has
been about as follows:
From General City Tax. $500
- Licenses, $500
5000
Total expenditures, about 200
Leaving balance in Treasury, $500
Not bad state of finances for a city
that has been robbed of four thousand
dollars during the past year"
Among the expenditures we notice some
heavy items Thus, 81 400 for the Madl
son st. bridge; SI6S for iron pipe under
the canal; 500 paid for Undne Engine
about 81 900 paid to the various street
supervisors and for side walks, team hire,
&c, on streets; $500 City Marshal's salry
$500 for City Clerk, attorney and assessor
and nearly eight hundred dollars for special
police. On inquiry. we found thi. last
heavy Item was incurred on the boisterous
demand of the Ottawa Republican and
politicians of that persuasion, who fan cied
/ somebody was going to hurt somebody
on account of little disturbance kicked
up one day in front Of Pete Myers grocery.
Thus we find some 5000 of the s. 900
City expenditures already legitimately
accounted for. The remaining items con-
