From McAdOO.

Ex-Trustee John Bircher is once
again the happy father of 9 pound
boy on the 23rd. Likewise Mr.. Geo
Hawkins has daughter born on Eas
ter.
During the latter part of the winter
the boys of McAdoo have amused them
selves by having turkey and chicken
roasts while their parents were in the
Strip. A little fun is all right but the
thing has gone too far. L. B. Bell
lost three fine bronze turkeys, one val.
ued very highly. Several chicken
roosts were disturbed as high as two
dozen chickens we're taken one night.
There was kid mitten or driving
glove found in Mr.. BuckIand's chicken
house and we know who has the mate.
Mr.. Bell told the writer he knew posi-.
lively who got his turkeys, but as the
parents of boys were respectable and
good citizens he would let the matter
drop if the boys would settle for the
turkeys, but if not he would prosecute.
Three other farmers in the neighbor-
hood will take hold of the matter If the
boys don't make good their loss.

The City Business.

The reports published in another col
umn show the business Of the city dur
ing the past year, and prove a serious
obstacle IN the way of some who have
desired change Of administration.
We want it understood that we have
no personal feeling toward anyone who
does not support the business ticket.
nor do we propose to arraign their mo-
tiveS. We leave such displays, if there
are to be any. to those who do not hap
pen to see things as we do. As to the
men on the tickets we are not taking
sides. The personnel of each is amply
fitted to discharge the duties of Office
In capable manner. We see no neces
ity for any personal feeling whatever
in the matter. We simply propose to
give the facts regarding the admins
tration during the past year and leave
the voters of the city to their choice.
For the purpose of obtaining official
figures regarding the subject We re-
quested the city treasurer to furnish
US the amounts. He kindly did so and
the result is as follows: Amount paid
since April LIST, 1893, on scrip issued
prior to that date. 81, 40. Out
standing scrip at the close OF business
March %, 1894, including last issue,
$278 80.
The balance in each fund on date last
mentioned were as follows:

BOND Interest. ............ 527 So
Water Ditch 1874 ~
Water Works rental ............... LII 81
Balance on hand. ......... -. $500 81
This report is signed by Mr.. Chase as
city treasurer, and IS taken from the
books, Monday evening. TAKEN in con
nection with the statement of receipts
and disbursements during the past
year, which we print in another col
unn, we think it will give the voters
of our city fair idea as to whether
or not the business has been conducted
III an economic manner. The financial
statement is in two parts, the first be
Ing of business transacted from April
To January last year and the last
from January to the present time. 1t
can be readily seen from the figures
given that the city is in better condi-
ton financially than it has been for
years. Besides the balauce on hand
the treasurer will receive 1881 from the
county treasurer on Santa Fe taxes
where appOrtiOnment is made.
With these facts in mind the people
can decide whether not they desire
continuance of the present administra-
ton. without engendering the least
anlmoslty or personal feeling. Those
having property In the city, who pay
an enormous per cent. of tax. can well
judge of their own best interest, and
they can be depended upon to decide
next Tuesday.
