thousands of dollars to the tax payers.
They soon stopped this mismanage-
ment. They not only paid all current
expenses without borrowing, but paid
the city's portion of the most extern
sive public improvements in our MIS-
tory chargeable to the general fund.
The west side improvements alone, vi
aducts, sewers, septic tank, and streets,
the whole city in former years; and yet
we paid it in cash as it came due. And.
instead Of selling per cent long time
city bonds In large lots at par, they
sold 315 per cent short time bonds to
fund Zimmerman current debts at a
premium.
Taking the city as a whole, there
have been more public improvements
in the past three years than in any like
period in our history. both by the city
proper, and by the citizens. These
have been expensive, but as a rule the
city and the property owners have got
value received for their money. Mis-
takes may have occurred, but no
charge or hint of graft or corruption
has been made in connection with any
OF its work. This is all the more re-
markable in view Of the fact that the
city council is unanimously republican
while the executive department is DEM
ocratic
While the present administration
has been progressive. 1t has also been
economical and broad-minded. It has
scrutinixed all claims and purchases,
analysed and carefully considered all
contracts and franchises, and opposed
all extravaganza. Intelligent bust

has characterized its policy and its
practice. It found the engineers Of

the public service: second, its obliga-

made this administration possible.
The management of the municipal

under wise, conservative management,
the city is ready to begin paying them

When the Schillinger administration

In addition a contract amounting ID

coo of current debt will have been

paid out of the profits of the light
plant, without borrowing a dollar, in
three years and four months! More
than that, we have in that time added
many thousands of dollars to the value
Of the plant in permanent improve

achievement, and we challenge the

It will pay any one who has not
visited the old glucose district on the
south side since the plant was wrecked
to take a stroll or a ride over in that
section of the city, and note the many
evidences of Improvement that has
been going on this summer.
A marked transformation has been
wrought since the Western Grocer
Mills secured possession of what was
left by the glucose property, after the
wreckers got thru with it. The new
plant is not only formidable in the
matter Of buildings and area Of
grounds, but it shines with all the evil
dences of thrift, enterprise and pride
in physical appearance. The buildings,
in addition to internal and other inn
provements, have all been painted
white, new windows appear where
gloomy holes greeted the eye before,
all debris and wreckage have been re-
moved, the grounds cleaned up and
seeded down, and shade trees have
been set out on tfe unoccupied area
west of the buildings, giving it a park
like appearance. The main driveway
from Third avenue to the mills is be-
ing nicely graded with first course OF
broken brick, plaster. gravel and GIN
ders, and when completed it will be a
smooth, hard boulevard. The entire
plant. with its surroundings, is now in
l.

try, too, with every prospect of ex-
pansion and increase of output.

The annual report OF the Iowa Cen

months ending June 30, shows that the
big strike of shopmen last year in this
city was an expensive luxury for the
railroad. The road shows a deficit on
the year of over s2S1,00O. On the other
hand the NJ. & st. L. shows surplus
OF $4,000.
The gross earnings Of the Iowa Cen
trail showed an increase OF about $751;
600, but because of the large increase in
expense, owing to the strike, this was
offset, and the decrease in net earnings
is shown to be sS31,773. The expense
to which the road was put, in carrying
on the strike, was s344,995. Other in
