voc WOULD LESSEN ERRORS.
COLOR SCHEME REMEDY
Currency Raiser Would Be Thwarted
and Dishonest Banker as Well as
Business Men Would be Benefited
He Says-Also Proposes Uniformly
Tinted Stationery.

Manitowoc, Wis, Oct Bankers
everywhere are interested in the sug-
gestion to he offered to the National
Bankers association by John
Schuette, president of the Savings
bank of this city, regarding a new
color system for checks and currency.
the subject will be taken up at the as
ISOLATION meeting at Washington, D..
e., this week. Mr.. Schuette's plan is
that each denomination of currency
should have a distinct color and he be.
licvcs that such a system would faci,
litate the handling of money, especial
ly for bankers.
Mr.. Schuette suggests that the 81
bill be given a ground work of dark
dran tint; the 81, brown tint; the
S., a green, tue $40, blue; the 500
yellow the $50 pink, and the 800
and over, white. He says:
We can readily see that such diff
fercnt colora would greatly facilitate
the sorting Of bills, and at the same
time be a guard against errors Only
by superficial look we would know
the value Of bill. The only iobtec
ton ! can see 10 such a plan would
be, that when a banker is going to
make display in bank run, with a
stack Of money on his counter he can
net deceive his dcpositors with q lot
Of 81 and 81 packages, but as a banker
should not be tempted to deceive. this
even may improve his morals: and
am just reminded there will he no OBJ
lection at all after the depoSitors are
insured, When bank runs Will no
longer be known.
Stationery Needs Adjustment.
SO much on bank notes-now as to
bank stationery. would have the
size of note heads, of the usual size,
six by ten, letter head, nine by eleven.
These are the best sizes, fitting all OF.
binary envelopes. Each bank might
have its letter heads in special tint
ton when particular letter was
wanted, but this would not be so very
important.
II would have all checks 3 by s
inches, white tinted; bills receivable,
~. by S, yellow tinted receipts, 3R
by S. slate tinted.
How much we do spend in labor or
brain saving appliances Why then
not adopt a standard rule, by which
we can gain an enormous saving and
relieve our optics from a strain and
especially when we have this all
without a penny extra expense
The only thing necessary, to accom-
plish all this, is TO unite and to follow
a standard agreed unon This applies
to our bank Stationery, and as to tho
bank notes or currency, a little con
certed action of our bankers, and
finally a petition to congress, and
speedy realization Of this plan can be
expected"

c. w. Hicks. City Clerk. in speak ing of the proposed bond issue and the installation of good sewerage sys- tem. said:
 Yes, indeed; the city should have a sewerage system. and 2 good one. for one am heartily in favor of the 7-oDosed bond issue.
 "Of course. the extra taxation is justified Just look at these stads- tics: The tax on S350. or the value Of an ordinary miners house. is only $40. Hardly any of the citizens will have 10 pay more than S2.00.' and that is no eAhoT5itant tax by any means. L for my part, will pay this tax without 9 nu-mur
 The clly thing can suggest 70 i'm prove the sanitary condition of Bisbee is the inspectorship which is now up before the Council. This will do no good, however. if the man appointed is not one who will discharge his duties without fear or favor and compel all the people 10 clean up their property. This will do some good, but the sew craze system is the only thing to bet fer the general health of the city
 "Of course. can not speak authori- tatively like a physician, but I should say that with a good sewerage system inc rate Of sickness would be very greatly minimized."

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease and pre- scribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu- tional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Ca tarrh Cure. manufactured by F. J. Cheney G Co, Toledo Ohio. is the only constitutional cure on the mar ket- It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

Development of the fact that the as sessed valuation of property in the city does not make a total sufficient 10 allow of the issuance of bonds in the sum of sI00,0Oo for sewer building purposes has put this all important matter with reference to the health of the people Of Bisbee in a new light.
 The question that now arises in most prominence is: Do the tax payers of Bisbee favor the raising of the $4o,0O0 that is lacking of the s1.250, 900 total assessed valuation by action of the City Council sitting as a board of equalization, provided that it may not be found that a sanitary sewer may be built for an amount within the means of the city as the as sessment roll now staDdS9"
 The interviews published in the Re view during the last two weeks. gath cred at random among business peo- pie and workingmen ttax-payers) of the town. have demonstrated an al most unanimous demand for building of Q sewerage system with all possi- ble celerity. Of the large number of people who have been interviewed, al uul SuC nave expressed strong favor for municipal ownership. But one man has expressed himself as op- posed to the immediate building of sewerage system. at the same time de- claring himself against bond issue in the sum Of s100,000. because he did rot believe t would be sufficient to build sewer. One other man has expressed himself against the bond is sue because he did not believe it would provide money enough 10 build the sewer
 As matters stand, it is up to the council 10 say whether there shall be opportunity given the people to vote on a bond issue or not. An increase of s50o in the amount of actual cash paid in increased taxes will make up the difference of s40.000 on the as sessment roll. There are over 100 property taxpayers in the city. Di- vided pro rata among them the in- creased payments would be less than g each.

ation. The only thing l can think of is the sewer. If it is not built a plague of some kind will visit the town, I believe. and then people will be ready enough to build a sewer"
 W. N- Edwards. of the firm of Ed wards & Wren, said:
 T am very much in favor of this bond issue. A good sewerage system IS greatly needed by the town. Pres ent conditions are terrible, and any. thing to mitigate them will be fayora- bly, looked on by me.
 Yes, I am in favor of the Council. in the capacity of board of equaliza- ton. assessing all city property to such an extent that the forty thousand dollars necessary should be made up.
 The only thing I can see to help better the condition of the town with out the installation of a sewer, is for every one to get out of town and move somewhere else. If they don't do this. most of them will go out in wood en boxes. I don't want to do this any sooner than l have to. so l am in fav- or of 8 sewer"
 Mrs. c. c. Vail. the librarian. said that she was very much in favor of the sewerage system as it is proposed Being a woman. she said she would not care to express her elf on the business side of the prol ;tion.
 Tt win better the condition of the city to a great extent. believe. and I think it should be under municipal control so that people could be com pelled to connect with it.
 The only thing can say in regard 10 the bettering of conditions If the sewer is not put in. is for each one to do their best to keep their own premis- es clean. If this is done, conditions would be greatly improved but 9 good sewer IS the only thing that will do any permanent good, and every day fhs need of it increases"
