Mr.. T. j. Fletcher. cashier of the
First National Bank, says:

and mercantile lines.
Without doubt there will be more

Our city real estate in general gives
a safe reasonable return for money ~

Fines, But Big Increase in Fees
Turned Into City Treasury.

The quarterly report of City Clerk
l.. Derby, for the quarter ending Dec.
81, 1905, shows some interesting figures

of expenditures in the various funds
shows an aggregate OF $23, Tor
1905, as against $50, $4,000 for 1904. In
connection with the treasurer's report
1t is worthy OF note that the net inueDt-
edness of the city was S1iO, 466.1S on
Jan. !, 1905, and on jan l, 1906 ii was
oa,22o.3,, or an Improvement OF S22.-
1881. The Indebtedness is less by
$1,000. than last year and the cash
on hand $12.OsS.S2 larger in amount.
The clerks report also touches on
water collections, which show d falling
off during the quarter owing to the IN
stallation OF SO many meters. a total
of 500 meters was installed during the
quarter. A year ago these various SER
vices furnished u revenue approXi-
mately So each, while almost none re-
turned this during the quarter just
closed.
The Mayors Report.
Mayor Ingledue's report showed the
collection of saloon and general IL

officers and accounts.
Chief Kirby, of the fire department,
shows a response to sixteeno alarms
during the quarter just closed. The
two larger fires, Church Cottle resi-
dence and Lander store, We're referred
to in the report, and the necessity of
smoke protectors was urged to the
committee.
Chief of Police Nicholson's report
showed 1852 arrests during the quarter.
119 of which were for intoxication.
Migrants sheltered at the Third avenue
station were fifty-one. The patrol
wagon made 145 trips during the quar-
ter, travelling a distance of 220 miles.

county book contract. which is let
| every five years. No private hearings
of agents will be given. and all COM
i lives present to bid on the contracts
must send their men here to appear
before the board.
| The board has decided that this
manner Of letting the contract will he
| eminently fair to all parties concerned
ard will do away with the bother OF
the members being interrupted every
day by some book agent who wishes
! to expatiate on the virtues OF his par
| ticular publication. The board does
| not expect to finish the work In the
one day, as there will be forty or fifty
different firms represented. In all prob
abilities, and it will require two OF

says: Il think investments in
the right kind of factories are all
right. The way to get more of them
started is to get local capital interest
ed and the outsiders will come in and
do their part There is room here for
a good creamery, and we should have
one. No better location in the state.
One more thing l wish to say and
that it to induce the grocery men of
Marshalltown to hold their picnic each
year at home and give us all chance
to enjoy it with them. Let's spend our

desired, together with somewhat
warmer weather than we are

tions to prevail the improve
ment in the crop, both plant and
stubble, would be marked. The
dry weather which has been
prevalent for several weeks has
permitted the planters to give
their fields a thorough working

the full benefit of a good rain.

Opening of the Legislature,

New Orleans Picayune May Is.
The meeting in regular session
of both houses of the General
Assembly of Louisiana yester-
day at the State Capital was the
most important event recorded
for the day.
Nothing was done beyond the
perfecting of organization, the
chief item in which was the
choosing of Speaker to take the
place of the lamented R. H.
Snyder. deceased. The choice
unanimously fell on Mr.. Joseph
Hyams, of West Baton Rouge,
who was held to have a claim
upon the position through the
fact that he has been longer
than any of his colleagues a
member of the Louisiana House
of Representatives, and is pos
.sessed of adequate experience.
AS the proposed Legislation
has been already forecast. three
grand objects appear to be in
view. One is to reduce as much
as possible the rate of taxation
in the State, while another, in
direct contrast with it, is to
secure appropriations from the
State Treasury for innumerable
public and private objects, all of
which, if granted, would make
any proposition to reduce taxa
ton ridiculous in the extreme.
Another object for which
legislation is sought, and which
looms up on the horizon. is to
make every public Office that is
not specially protected by the
Constitution directly elective by
the people, which really mean
elected by and in the interest Of
the political bosses. In theory
there is nothing more beautiful
than the idea of the whole COM
monwealth of citizens devoting
themselves to the care and direc-
ton of their public affairs and
rising up in a body to assist in
the election of their lawmakers
and public officials.
That, however, is only a theory.
