To The Voters And Taxpayers OF
The CITY Of Alma.

BY reference to another column
YOU will see that the common council
of this city is asking for authority TO
borrow money The notice states the
purpose of such borrowing but. per-
hans. fuller explanation NAV not be
amiss.
In order TO see clearly the reason for
the present condition of the finances
of the city. it is necessary to 20 back
TO the time when the finances of the
city were ira nsfered from the village
TO the citv on March 10th. 1908
Under the village regime the last
taxes were collected in June. 1904.
and on March, 10th 1909. the books
showed "A cash balance of 81, SiS. 43.
with outstanding loans ION orders) of
So. 500. 90. and an unpaid bili for fire
hose. $500. 20, thus leaving net
deficit of 81 45l 81, and no taxes due
until December. 1905.
Starting thus with deficit. the city
followed the practice of anticipating
the collection of taxes bv borrowing
funds to pay the running expenses un-
til December of each year.
During the four wears of the citv's
life, besides the usual running ex-
penses and heavy payments for side
walks, streets. etc. there has been
paid from the city taxes:
Bonded Indebtedness .S1A. 600. 90
Balance on POllasky sewer -. /, 1922 90
Repair and improvement of
Woodworth Ave. bridge. l3. 90 90
Euclid Ave. bridge 49,. 49,. 500. 90
Enlargement of fire team
stable ... o.. ........ ... |. 100. 90
Retaining wall on State street $40 90
New cast iron water main TO
reDlace old wooden maiu
on Superior street. 4.O2O. 90
Total .................. S23, l52. 90
All but the first of the above items
may safely be called extraordinary ex-
pendituress. and large part OF them
absolutely necessary. The result is
that the city inns itself in debt ON
account of current expenses s., OO0 90.
and no taxes due until December.
The practice OF thus borrowing
money as the city has done is found to
be In IA measure illegal and the banks
are unwilling TO continue it.
We. therefore. look 20 YOU for au-
thority TO provide the funds needed |
to pay the deficit and to csrIe on the
city government until funds are again |
available from taxes The failure TO
provide these funds will of necessity |
greatly cripple the city department and
totally stop all public improvements in
the city for the remainder of the year

O'Brien feinted and missed left
swing, going to his knees from the i'm
petus of the blow. Johnson appeared
slow and had no advantage in the
round. If anything. it was to O'Brien's
advantage.
Fifth Round. - johnson caught

O'Brien's right eye badly, but he came
back with left flush on Johnson's
mouth. Johnson rushed viciOusly, pin

tling him down. O'Brien did most of
the leading ut this stage and just as
the gong sounded sent a hard left to
JohnSon'S face.

Johnson only smiled and held up his
hand to indicate that he had blocked
it. O'Brien rushed in again and tried
hard to land on the face and body, but
was blocked in his efforts. Finally he
sent stiff left to the face and took a
hard right counter on the head in re-
turn. Johnson met O'Brien with a
left to the face as he stepped in, and
the round ended in clinch.
The consensus Of opinion among ex-
perts at the ringside was that the fight
was draw. Referee McGuigap said
O'Brlen did remarkably well.

and his associates, +. a. Pouchot and

to eXtort $1,000 from the Joseph Klicka
company during a strike on its plant.
The strike was called by Madden,
who, fur clad and wearing diamond
pin, shouted the order from his auto
mobile.
The story of the alleged extortion, as
told by d. L. Frazer, a construction
engineer employed by Post & Machler,
architects of the Klicka plant, and by
Emil Klicka, president of the Joseph
Klicka company, has to do with the al

town saloon and in substance follows:
The strike having been called for no
apparent reason, Mr.. Klicka sent Mr..
Frazer to see Boyle, who, when asked
how the matter could be settled, said
that Klicka would have to see Madden.
Klicka and Frazer waited in saloon
until Madden and his motor car az
rived. after which Madden and Klicka
entered private Office at the end Of
the bar.
Klicka and Frazer gave 5000 to Boyle
for expenses incurred in calling the
strike, hoping that Boyle would bring
the trouble to an end. Boyle, how.
ever, said that the settlement was up
to Madden.
Frazer declared that Madden de-
manded $500 as the price of putting
the men back to work and that Klicka
emerged from the office branding the
price as an outrage
George S. Andres, construction en-
gineer, swore that Klicka gave him
$1,000 with which to settle the strike.
Andres having told Klicka that it could
be settled for that sum-
''How am | to know the strike will
be called off if I give you the money!
| asked him. Don't worry" he said.

the money. and he told me to throw it
on the desk. l did so, and Madden
showed it in his pocket"
The next day the strike was called
off and the men returned to work.

and are intended to cover the value of
horses and carriages, presents and
souvenirs and other personal effects of
which Mr.. Batonyi claims that he has
been deprived.

that the property attached was taken
by his wife from the "two mile corner
farm" in Middletown, near this city,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Batonyi formerly
lived, and that through the influence
of Frank Work and Frank X. Sturgis,
eXerted through the latter's personal

Henry c. Phipps was one of the first

pany.
In the meantime kilograms were

feller had repeatedly warned Mr.. Rog-
ers to cease his hard work in view Of
his failing health, but he had not been
apprised Of his present illness until he
received the news Of his death.
Henry H. Rogers was money max
er and one of the most successful men
of the so called Standard Oil group.
He began life as poor boy at Fair
haven, Mass, where he was born six
ty-nine years ago. He is variously re-
ported as having started life as a
newsboy and as a driver Of grocery
cart. He was an enthusiastic yachts
man. Until recently he had held the

Three Rolls of the Drug Found In Con-

Of opium containing thirty-siX grains
were found in the clothing of Captain
Peter c. Hains, Jr., which he discard
ed on his return to the Queens county
jail after being sentenced to Sing Sing
prison for the murder of William E.
Annis Before placing the captain in a
cell on his return to the jail Sheriff
Harvey directed that he be stripped of
the suit he wore and given other cloth
ing.
The finding of this drug explains the
continual dreamy condition which
marked the captains demeanor ever
since his arrest. His jailers said he
was a dope" user. His peculiar sal
low complexion, vacant stare and
glazed eyes led many to believe that
he was a victim of the habit.

The action of the Westminster au-
