WHITE HOUSE SOCIAL ROUTINE.
Mrs. Roosevelt to Give Three Recep-
tons In Decem Der.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. 12.-The So
cial routine of the White House will
differ slightly during the coming season
from the customs of the past few years.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt have Sc
lected Thursday evening for social func-
tons This is the traditional day Pres
ident Mckinley chose Wednesday. and
this conflicted with the cabinet recep-
tons
The official season will be very short,
commencing January l and ending Feb
ruary II. AS the events will necessarily
be crowded, Mrs. Roosevelt will hold
three public receptions in December, the
dates being the 18th, 21st and 18th. These
will be the regular Saturday receptions
which the mistresses of the White House
have always devoted to the general pub
lie.
Abundance viii be without cards.
These receptions are intended for ladies,
and the President viii not be in evidence.
nor will the cabinet officers detract from
the interest peculiar to the feminine
world. The hours will be from to 3.
These Saturday receptions VIII not be
held during the official season. but will
probably be resumed after Easter. Mrs
Roosevelt has selected Friday as her dav
at home for the official world. She will
establish new custom by welcoming
guests on the second floor, in the family
drawing-room. The other mistresses OF
the White House used the conventional
suite off the East Room.

OF course, increased revenues are
accompanied by greater expenses.
Considering the unusual demands
made upon the treasury. the City
Council has done very we'll with the
public money. 1t is but just to
say that the financial affairs of the
town have been administered with
economy.
During the two years ending
April 80, 1901, the smallpox cpl
denies cost the town S., 9S5. AZ. In
the year ending April 80, 1900,
$2,o8o. 16 were spent and seo5.26
in the year just ended.
The waterworks and electric light
plant has been quite a heavy dram
upon the town treasury. The ex-
penses have been running consider
ably behind the revenues, but of
course it must be considered that
the community enjoys the benefits
accruing from the light and water
furnished.
Under the head OF tssupplies and
fuel" for the powerhouse are several
big items of disbursement. The
following amounts we're paid for
coal:
Year ending April 50, 1900 .... 81, 500 65
Year ending April 80, 1eo1--~,-, 5,225 %
An increase of - 327 30
The supplies cost:
Year ending April 80, 1900 &c.,. ST. 100 81
Year ending April 80, 1901 ..----.., 1,415 90
The town expended $500. 60 in
opening Johnston street and S2o3. SO
in the purchase of lot adjoining
the power-house.
The cash in the treasury on May
1, 1900, was $IS1.57; on May I,
1901, 81, 1886.
No doubt the taxpayers will be
pleased to know something about
the waterworks bonds. During the
year six bonds of $500 each were
paid and the interest on the whole
issue up to March I, 1901, amount
ing to S2o7o. The bond account

Thirteen bonds, Nos. 15-1o-51 to CT in

Eleven bonds, Nos. 62 to II inclusive,
due March I, 1906.
Altogether there are due fifty nine
bonds of $500 each, making
Sag, 500, and bearing per cent in
terest.
- AS II may be seen from the fore
going, the electric light and water
works plant 10 very expensive ne
scessity. To operate the plant ac-
cording to business principles it is
necessary to use meters. without
which it is impossible to fix the
rates upon reliable and intelligent
basis. Just now the Council does
not feel able to buy the required
number of meters, and it must do
the best it can without them.
The present Council has been
called upon several times to dis
buTse large sums of money. The
smallpox epidemics, the numerous
repairs at the power-house, the
Eshelling of a street, the special ap
lpr0priations, had to be met with
the cash.

1t is unfortunate that statistics are

Local Insurance.

Insurance business In Utah has been
larger this year than in other previous
twelve months both as a protection
against fire and against death or acct
dental injury an Of the agencies
here are IN a prosperous condition and
continue TO write up new business in
an Increased volume. Losses TO IN
surancc companies issuing policies
have been extremely high during the
year and IN consequence Of this state
of affairs, there has been much talk
OF increasing the rates for fire insur-
ance. How far this discussion may
go into the matter Of bringing about
such a raise can not be stated; and q
general gathering Of opinion seems 10
throw no light upon the matter for In
the agencies one would gain the inn
preston that AN increase Of rates is
imminent. outside OF those circles
though. the impression prevails that a
raise Is not at all probable. Those
who hold the latter view are usually
among the insured and they claim that
IN the event Of contemplated action
