COMMUNICATION.

| EMTOE SrN:
In your last issue q Tax Payer
asks for information us to the neces.
sily of an issue OF bonds by the vii
lage.
In the first place the $4,000 bonds
issued in 1880 for purchase of Fire
Engine, Hose, Cisterns &C, came
due last August and provision should
have been made by having authority
granted by the legislature Of 1889 for
retunding said bonds. AS this was
not done the bill now before the
house asks for authority to refund
said bonds and also provides for the
funding of the floating debt.
The bill provides for an issue of
$4,000 or $50 much thereof as may b.
necessary" and as we have floating
debt of about $500, it was deemed
advisable to get authority for an
issue Of bonds. This floating debt
has been gradual accumulation
occasiOned principally by an unjust,
OnOr0us and burdensome poor law, us
we'll as by the extraordinary expen
ditureS for the town we'll, tank,
cisterns, steam fire engine, hose sc.
by an oversight of the Council of
1S69-90 did not make levy for the
support of the poor under the new
law. This drew about $1,000 ont Of
the general fund, and as our engine
and hose cost about So 800, and well,
Windmill, tank and supply cistern
about 81 500 more, 1t can be readily
seen that as our receipts from all
sources are only about sufficient for
ordinary expenses the cost Of these
extra, and we must all admit. very
necessary apparatus and improve
ments, has been more than our rev
enue would admit of.
Of course there will be taxes etc.
collected during the year sufficient TO
more than meet the expenses of the
past year; but the incoming Council
will. unless the floating debt is fund
ed, find the same condition the pres
ent council has had to contend with,
namely, not cent of cash available
to meet current expenses, the out
having orders being more than
enough to swallow up all receipts.
The question as TO whether it is
policy to keep orders at par, and as
to whether the debts incurred for
permanent improvements should be
paid by us or our descendants, will
require too much space for discussion
here, 50 will conclude by requesting
that our business men meet with the
Council on next Saturday evening
and confer regarding the financial
standing of our Village.
Respectfully,
w. J. MUNRO.

Travelling Churches.

The millionaire magnates, the
opera singers, the great shOwm' n
all have their "private cars" and
now comes the church, building
chapels on wheels which run to and
fro in the earth diffusing religious
intelligence. Bishop Walker, of the
Episcopal Chuch of North Dakota,
was the first to build a car fitted with
pulpit, organ, and Pews, and the
Minnesota Baptists are now building
one for their Sunday School mission
nary, Uncle Boston Smith. Does
it seem a little strange that the first
church cars should be built in the
wild Northwest? Well, it is just a
way the Northwest has of getting to
the front. Just SO with her railroads
always enterprlsing, seeking the
comfort Of their patrons, guaranteeing
speed and safety at the same time.
Among these, The Burlington
stands easily at the front in immense
mileage. number of important places
reached, and elegance of equipment.
For tickets, timetables. ETC., call on
any agent of this or connecting lines,
Or write to w. J. C. Kenyon, Gen.
Pass. Agent, c. &. & n. R. R. St.

Palaces OF Various Kinds.

Away back in the misty past, when
the porcelain-makers of China COM
bined aud erected their famous pal
ace of porcelain, " they little thought of
the example they were setting for
coming generations. The ice-bound
Russians first took the hint and erect
ed the first of the lice paIaces"-an
example followed by Montreal, Quebec,
St. Paul, and other boreal American
cities, who thought to boom their pros
poets by advertising the fact to the
world at large that they were situated
within the circle of the shadow cast by
the north pole. With a more practical
eye to business, the people of the south
erected the cotton palace" at New
Orleans, followed closely by the corn
palace" at Sioux City, Iowa. Since
the last-named unique erection pal
aces have sprung up all around, like
toad-stoolS in damp weather. Ne
braska has her sugar palace" Cres-
ton, Iowa, her hay palace" Pueblo,
COL, her mineral palace" Ottumwa.
Iowa. coal palace" and last but
not least the flax palace" at Forest
City, Iowa. If this palace business
! is carried much farther we may soon
expect to hear of gold palace on
Wall street, an "oyster palace" on the
shores of the classic Chesapeake, or a
yam palace in Georgia.-iSt. Louis
