SOME SOURCES OF INCOME.
Money is. of course, required TO keep any town
running and the sources Of income in most Of the
cities and towns in the hands OF the Ameri-
cans are several The market money is a valu-
able for bringing in funds, for it is nearly
all clear gain. The market place in all the towns
consists of big square, in which all the merchants
sell their and pay for the privilege The in
come from the market in most places is about 500
American money month The Presidente collects
this through his agents at the market, and ac-
counts for the money and uses il for expenses Of
the town. supervised by the commanding officer.
Dog licenses, license transfer stock, stock kill
ing privileges income from cockpits etc. other
means from which money comes for the supporting
Of a town.
one advantage here is that the workers for the
city do not expect high salaries. The accompany
ing list shows how low the wages are, the rates
being given in native money, worth only half that
Of American, so that the entire cost would be just
one-half the amount in American cash:
