more than was spent last year
$4,000 of that to make up the

with the assistance of Mr.. A. C.
Justice. They report a small
shortage Of something over one
hundred dollars, which had been
been promptly covered into the

gave an itemized list of the errors
and stated that most of them oc-
Cured during the first two years
of the present clerks admins
tration, and added that they
found his last years books very
neatly and correctly kept.
The report was accepted and
filed and a warrant for $500
was allowed Messrs Halsey and

Clerk Rountree stated to the
council that he had considerable
work to do and asked to be re,
lieved of the duties of collector
of the water aud light rent.
At this juncture Aid. Bowen
took the floor to express his be-
lief that the water aud light
plant should be self-sustaining.
He stated that he had talked
with large NUN Der Of taxpayers
who expressed the same opinion
He thought if the water and light
rents we're correctly collected,
that they (the revenues) would
more than pay the expenses of
operating the plant.
The discussion of the question
lasted about thirty min
utes, and it was finally decided
that the Superintendent should
make a new list of the consumers
and collect promptly and regu-
larly from them all rents for
water and lights.

Up To You.

Some years ago we occasionally
listened to the sermons and exor-
tatlons of a good old preacher
who frequently warned his hear
ers that if they died at last and
went to hell they must not blame
him,-that he had cleared his
skirts" This is to admonish all
gamblers and dive keepers who
may chance to read the Enter
prise that if they wake up some
fnelmorning to find themselves
headed for the penitentiary not
to curse us, but themselves for
not needing our earnest admoni-
tons.
