Again and again the question is ask.
ed why the financial report Of the
city is not forthcoming. This matter
was left with the mayor, allowing him
the privilege Of securing the services
OF an expert accountant to aid in the
work. While the Ardmoreite has not
been directly informed of Mayor
Thompson's procedure. we are i'm
directly informed that the services of
such a person has been secured but a
rush OF busines at the present time
has prevented work so far. Mayor
Thompson is certainly as much inter
ested in this report as any one. else
he would not have asked for it. With
n little more time and patience all
will no doubt be fully satisfied.

One Of the most interesting bits Of old
pottery in existence is rare piece of
Chinese porcelain in the New York Met
ropolitan Museum. 1t was made By a
Chinese artist more than a century ago
and bears a quaint portrait Of George
Washington. also the work Of Chinese
hands. The vase shows that the fame
Of the father of his country had travelled
far even in those early days. The Chi.

slanting eyes and eyebrows and in the

the likeness is very good. and the work,
