SUPPLEMENTARY REpoRT.

In presenting the foregoing your Com
mittee are unanimous. The undersign-
ed, members Of the Committee, feel,
however, that their duty to the Society
will not be performed unless they ex-
press their views regarding certain grave
defects and dangers which apparently
exist in our present municipal govern.
ment, with which in their investigation
they have become impressed.
FIRsT-The City has floating debt,
which is the growth of years and which
now amounts to between eight and ten
thousand dollars, and which it carries
along from year to year and cannot dis
charge without infringing upon funds
absolutely needed for current expenses.
This difficulty, whatever future action
may be taken regarding change in our
plan of government, should be immedi-
ately remedied by an appeal to the legis-
lature.
SEcoSD-In the contrariety of opinion
that has existed and which still prevails
as to whether Morristown is a town or
city of the third class within the legisla-
tive classification of cities there has been
much confusion. AS under the present
constitution of the State, special legisla-
ton with respect to municipalities is
prohibited and all such legislation is now
enacted under general laws, and such
laws are of frequent enactment, it is of
the utmost importance that a municipal
ity should know by which class of legis-
Iation it is affected. Legislation appli-
cable to towns may not be availed of by
cities, and Uice Uersd. Morristown GER
tainly cannot, except unlawfully, take adj
vantage of legislation governing towns
and al the same time avail herself of
acts passed only for the government Of
cities. And yet that is what has been
DONE This confusion is most unfortu-
nate, and if continued may lead to liti-
cation and jeopardize the welfare of the
City.
THIRD-In the stress for funds for
municipal purposes which the low limit
alton of $50, 900 has forced upon the City,
resort has been had to means for raising
additional funds which in the opinion of
your Committee is without warrant of
law. The City from the taxes authorized
by its charter and from receipts for IL
csnses can legally raise annually the sum
of S37 900 or therea bouts. This sum be-
ing insufficient for its needs, resort has
been hal to other methods of acquiring
revenue. Under general law which
authorizes the Assessor in leyying taxes
to make in addition to the sum required

per cent. of such sum "to meet contin.
gencies,o the Assessor in raising Nor.
ristown's quota of $40, 900 of the County
tax, adds the full ten per cent, although
there is no s'contingencies" which re-
quires it, and this sum not being requir-
ed for County purposes is turned back
into the City treasury and is used fol
municipal purposes. The City in begin
ming of its financial year assumes that
the Sd, coo from this source is legally and
surely available, and appropriates it as
part of its regular annual receipts. 1t
would seem almost too plain for argu-
ment that in no case can moneys raised
for Gounty purposes be depended upon
as part of a Citys regular revenues, and
especially must this be true in Morris
town which the Legislature has limited
the amount to be raised by taxation for
municipal purposes to fixed sum.
The same Act is taken advantage of in
another direction to evade the limitation
fixed by our charter, and the Assessor
regularly adds to the $50 600 required to
be raised, ten per cent. thereon Ito meet
contingencies, and whether any icon
tingency" exists or not the $4,000 thus
raised is used and appropriated as part
of the regular and proper annual income
of the City. 1t would seem that where
the Legislature has limited us to raise by
taxation $50, 900, it did not intend to give
us So. 600 more in this indirect way,
whatever the circumstances of the situa-
ton mightrrequire.
The City also derives about $1,000
yearly from poll taxes. As the City is
limited in its amount to be raised by
taxation to $50 600 it would seem that
the poll tax should be included within
that sum, and that the City did not have
the power by means of any other tax TO
increase the amount fixed by the legis-
lature.
To say the least, the methods employ
ed by the City of raising this additional
revenue, in all amounting to about IS, 600
are of questionable legality, and the
authority by which. these sums are raised
should be sanctioned by some positive
enactment, or settled authority; while
on the other hand if the City is by law
limited strictly in its expenditures to the
sum of $50, 600 fixed by its charter and is
the revenue derived from license, THO
amount should not be exceeded.
These matters have been already
called to the attention of the citizens of
Morristown, but outstanding no
effort seems to have been made to remedy
the difficulties. 1t is in the judgment
of your Committee, imperative that
some action should be taken for the pur-
pose of having the confusion and I'M
certainty in the laws referred to cleared
up. In the Judgment of your Com
mittee the situetion calls for immediate
action, and this Society should take the
Initiative in finding suitable remedies to
overcome or settle these difficulties and
should address itself seriously to their
solution.

In our advertising columns will be
found an announcement Of Ex-senator
John J. Ingalls, forthcoming book, en-
titled ''America's War For Human
ity." Canvassing agents will find lin
it book of remarkable interest, and
certainly of extraordinary Suitability.
The history of the war is told in pic
ture and story, and in q way that al
ways characterizes the brilliant pen OF
Senator Ingalls,. In narratiny the IN
cidents Of this war he finds grand
scope for his superb descriptive and
analytical powers. The theme is wor-
thy of the author: and the author is
worthy of the theme. 1t is published
by N. D. Thompson Publishing Co.,
of St. Louis, Mo. It will be a monu-
mental work that will not only be
everywhere read. but it will be a mon.
ument to his genius that will outlive
in history his brilliant senatorial
career. The subscription book trade
and the canvassing agent are fortunate
in the fact that an author of such rare
ability has been enlisted in it's inter
est.

Fertilizer Formula.

TO j. G. 1addy, Johnsonville, s. C.-You
ask what we think of the following
formula:
Stable manure equivalent, say 200 pounds
cotton meal; guano (2i& per cent ammonia,
200 pounds, acid phosphate. 300 pounds
k4init $40 pounds Total $40 pounds.
We have printed IT just as YOU had 1t in
your letter. but we do not quite understand
the terms. 1t is impossible to say exactly
how it would do unless we were Informed
how much phosphoric acid there IS in the
"guano.' Assuming that II hGs 10 per cent
of phosphOric acid, then the 200 pounds
of cotton meal 800 pounds of acid and 40
pounds Of kainit would do very well. The
total ought to produce 500 to 1000 pounds of
seed cotton.
