MISMANAGE MENT
JUST THE SAME.

JUST THE SAME.
A lot Of buncombe never did answer
an argument. The city Is in q bad
financial condition. Everybody knows
1t, and the fact that the city has to
borrow money several months before
the time for making a now levy shows
it, The tax levy may, indeed, have
been too small. but whyg Because Of
extravaganza. Certain appropriations
were made for certain purposes
Either these appropriations were in.
adequate, which shows a lack Of judg-
ment, or they were wasted, which
shows a lack of prudence, and when
they were spent, other appropriations
were drawn on, to make up the short.
age. There may have been q neces-
sity for this "borrowinr." u is
likely that there was, us the admins
tration that made the tax levy show cd
such wanton lack of intelligence in
business matters that their Judgment
of what it would cost to run the city
was probably as far from correct as
possible. Yet there has been extrava-
gance. 500, 900 in four years was
spent on the streets. Ride over our
streets and see II there is any evidence
Of what 1t was spent for. In other
departments there has been similar ex-
travagance. The city is not only Dor
rowing money, but it has nothing to
show for $50, 900 or $780, 900 that
ought to be in the sinking fund, and
in the appropriations for law suits and
other things that have not yet been
1t has been spent, and will
have to be made good some time.
The Sun will be very glad when
the statement that is said to be in
preparation ty the city clerk is ready.
The fact, If it is a fact, that the
'ormer city clerk did not keep the
'ecords well does not excuse the sd-
for its extravaganza.
I the city council had re-
trictei itself to the appropriations
made for running the city when
he levy was made last June, there

The north bound trip was an exciting one. From May 4 until month later the ship was fast in a body of ice fully eight feet thick. The ship tried bucking it's way for two days, but when with in sixty-fve miles of Nome it was aagin hemmed in. The pack in which the Nome -Ity was caught was drifting to the northwest. For several days the vessel drifted around the island of St and on May IA was raised lcear out of the water ba sudden jar. Her iron sheathing saved her from being smashed to pieces. The rudder head was twisted and the ship was badly shaken up. Fortunately lead opened on the morning of June 4 and the ship bucked it's way through tho ice to open water and to Nome.
