CITY IS DOING BETTER.
Financial Condition Being Gradually
Improved.

The city under the administration
OF Mayor William Green continues to
better its financial condition at the
rate, on average, of $500 per month.
OF this amount $1,000 per month Is
due to the increased amount OF taxes
coming into the city treasury while
the balance is due to retrenchments
practiced.
This time of the year is always the
period for slack living at the city nall.
the taxes have not been paid yet ana
as the receipts from a miscellaneous
source are not sufficient to meet all of
the expenses incident to running
city, the last several months of the
year show deficit. February, March,
May, June and July will on the other
hand show heavy balances.
For the eight months ending No
vember 80, according to the report of
the city clerk which has just been
placed on file, the city secured in the
O19.15 as compared with the receipts
for a similar length of time in 1906,
which were 7S,629.93.
The disbursements for the eight
months ending November 80, 1907,
were $10S,993, and for the same
length of time in 1906 they were
$124,458.07.
The deficit at this time this year is
$25,974.45 and last year $50, Is.
The fiscal year does not end with the
end of the year for the city but on
April 1, so that the end of the fiscal
year will not be greeted with a deficit
but a balance, due to the incoming
taxes. From these figures it sh ows
that the city has managed to make a
saving this year of $24,S53.69 in the
eight months time covered as against
a similar period in 1906.
The police, street and fire depart
ments vie with each other in showing
retrenchments.
The police department cost s1S,-
1925 during the eight months of 1907
mentioned; last year for the same
time, $21, 694.63.
Similar comparisons: Fire depart
ment. 1907, $28,494.15 and in 1905,
$91.915.76; city officers. $10,670.25 in
1907, S11,635.66 in 1906; sanitary de-
1906, $3.535.42; street department.

light department in 1907, $9,279.63, III
1905, $10,678.52.
For miscellaneous expenditures in
1907 the report shows $11,863.01 anu
In 1905 $14,440.o4.
Mayor w. H. Davis, who preceded
Mayor Green. blazed the way for con-
Quoting a retrenchment policy and
that policy and even going it one bet
ter Is evinced by the above figures. The
figures are dry in themselves, but they
indicate an interesting condition of
affairs and a prophecy of a further re-
duction in the amount of the taxes for
city purposes next summer, provided
of course the present gait Is maintain
ed and no extravagances are in
dulged in.

COCKRELL IS A CANDIDATE.
Enters Race for Commissioner in the
South District

Mr.. E. M. Cockrell is a candidate for
county commissioner in the Third dis
trict.
Mr.. Cockrell whose announcement
appears in another column has been a
continuous resident of the district for
thirty-fiv years, twenty-five of which
were in Mission township, during which
time he served four terms as trustee
He served as clerk of the district court
from 1894 to 1898. Mr.. CockreI owned
a farm in Mission township during his
residence there and still owns and op-
crates farm in the county
While trustee he was deeply interest
ed in the improvement of the public
roads, he being the pioneer in the coun-
ty in the abolishing the cumbersome
Sixth district plan of road work and
declared the township single road dis
trict, appointed a superintendent, pur-
chased a suitable equipment including
an improved road grader and the re-
suit was that the splendid condition of
the roads in Mission township was com
mented upon by all who passed that
way.
1t is thought by Mr.. CockrelPs friends
that if he Is chosen commissioner of
the Third district he will give to the
Office the benefit of his varied expert
ence and give just, wise and econom-
ical administration.
