The Forrest City times., 1908-05-08

The legislature of 1907, we think it was, provided for an increase of two mills in the school tax. leaving il op- tionary with the voters to make + any amount not exceeding seven mills instead of five, as was formerly the case. The matter had not been dis eussed before the election last year at least not very much-and the cleo tors let Il go at i've mills as hereto fore. It has now been pointed out that the increase while very small to each taxpayer, aggregates q neat little sum, and Is serely needed, so let Us vote for seven mills at the election on May 10th, i90S. and thus show our sincere and earnest interest in the welfare Of our children.

The report of the financial condi- tion Of the City Water and Light Company is printed in another col umn. The figures look alarming The liability and assets of the Water Plant and Light Plant should have been presented separately, so the public could come 10 clear under standing as to the standing of each plant. Then again the average Of wages, receipts and expenditures was taken at the time when accidents and other things necessitated a larger expenditure than the plants ever ex- perienced. The new council, how. ever, will lind ways and means to re. trench and economise so as to pay of the indebtedness. We hope so, al least.
The Forrest City times., 1908-05-08

The business of a city. county or state should be conducted and man. aged upon the same broad. substantial and solid principles as those of the pri- vate citizen. Public officers should manage the public business the same as they would if that business were their own. except, perhaps. that it should be upon the basis of the greatest good To the greatest number. whereas the individual conducts his business upon the principle of the greatest good to himself. If wise and conservative business man gets behind or in debt, his first impulse is 10 curtail his expenses. There has teen lately so much talk of the city's large indebtedness, and the operation Of the light and water works plants al q loss, that il seems to the writer that it would be wise and proper to set up a systematic plan of retreuchment. and cut down the expenses IL seems that this latter can only be made 10 De self sustaining by consolidating the two plants.
