BEST SHOW OF

Manufacturers and dealers in auto
mobiles now have fair idea whlch
of the four big shows this year VIII
be the best looking. Those who have
attended the palace and garden shows
in New York and know the general
plan of the Colisem for Chicago be
lieve that Detroit viii beat them all
when the doors OF the Wayne casino
are opened on Feb. IS.
This is the first time an intelligent
effort has been made toward beautin-
cation, backed up by money. The lo
cal dealers set aside $4,000 for the
purpose. and while this might not go
far I'm the garden IL is serving its pur-
pose at the casino.
Our show will top them all. writes
one OF the dealers who is in New York
and who attended the unlicensed SHOW
the first of the year.
We will be stronger IN the matter
of exhibits than either of these shows.
Each OF them is one-half. owing 10

Alderman Aliens Argument.

Alderman Allen again insisted that
the water works was entitled to credit
for all water used by the city and that
this water made up margin of profit
shown in the report presented to the
Council.
The Mayor could not see it that
way, though. He insisted that the
finances of the water works should
show what money came in and what
money was paid out and any actual
cash deficit or profit from it's opera
fion Citizens reading the report, he
held, would be misled into believing
that the city was actually making
money out of the plant when the ac-
tual finances show that it paid out
more money than it took in. ''The tax
payers have a right to have the facts
presented to them differently" he in
sisted. "and no paper profits fixed up
for them"
The majority of Council took the AL
len side of the controversy and held
that the report, showing a net profit
of $1,000 should be adopted as
showing the operations of the water
works and ordered published.
The report appears in full on page
I3. Mayor Felders position is that the
city actually took in less from the
operation of the plant last year than
it paid out. If the city is to be cred
tied with water used by it he main
tains it should be at special cheap
rates such as a very large consumer
would get, and after exact knowledge
of what it uses, and that then inter
est should be charged on the city
heavy investment in the water works
plant, which would offset the water
used by it. All this though he re,

ing no basis in the actual finances oi

lead and deceive citizens. -

WANTS CURBING DOWN
And Sidewalks Improved ON Lamar
Street

Mr., A. J. Hamil, representing him
self and other property owners, ap-
peared before Council, on Wednesday
night and petitioned that curbing be
put down on Lamar street from Hamp-
ton to Dudley, and sidewalks ordered
laid.
AS stated, this is a very bad stretch
Of sidewalk in times of rain, and the
improvement, it was stated, is very
much required by the public.
1t is probable that the city will put
in the curbing in the near future and
the improved sidewalks will soon
better the condition and appearance
Of things there very materially.

who insist that it pays and those who
insist that it doesn't. OF course be-

"Old System of Deception"

Yes added the mayor, This is
merely carrying on the old system oi
deception, it is only paper profit
made up profit for appearances
something that doesn't exist at all
In order to make the public believe
the water works are profitable the
city is to be charged with >$7546 for
water at the highest rates. We ought
to stop fooling the people this way
This report is not giving them the
facts as they exist"
Alderman Allen, on the other hand
spoke just as vigorously for the re-
port The alderman insisted that the
City was entitled to credit the water
works with the amount that had beer
placed to it's credit. eff We had pri-
vate ownership" he declared, 1--WE
would have to pay this amount Other
citys have to pay it when there is
private ownership. We are simply fol
lowing the established rule. 1t is
customary to charge $40 piece fol
the hydrants.
Mayor Fielder insisted that in order
Ito make the alleged profits the city

report was a species of deception OF

CITY HAS TO BORROW
TO MEET EXPENSES
Will Get a Loan of $4,000
to Help 1t Out.
Must Scratch Pretty
Lively Until Octo-
Der Comes.

The Finance Committee of the City
Council on Wednesday night was au-
thorized to borrow $4,000 from one
of the city banks to enable the city
government to meet its current ex-
penses for the next two months, OF
until some money is received into the
treasury adequate to satisfy the de-
mands upon it.
With this borrowed the city will
owe the local banks $4,000, the $17,-
0G0 borrowed to meet the city's sub
scription to the Agricultural College
never having been repaid, owing to
the failure up to this time to place
the bonds voted for that purpose.
How Things Stand
Just now the city is in the condi-
ton that if it applied to an indivi-
dual, would be termed financially
embarrassed.
According to the report presented
to Council by Chairman Eldridge at
the meeting Wednesday night there
are approved bills at present unpaid
aggregating $500, the July and Aug
gust pay rolls aggregating $4,000
have to be provided for, and there
are weekly pay rolls for the same
two months that will aggregate
1000 This means that the city has
obligations, matured or soon to ma
ture, that must be met representing
$6,4O0. This does not include the
ordinary incidental expenses, such
as coal bills, lighting bills, etc, that
are also to be considered
Lively Scratching Ahead
Just now there is about $1,000 cash
in the city treasury. BY borrowing
$4,000 and pushing collections of
ing of delinquent taxes, and with the
the Chairman of the Finance Commit
tee thought it would be possible to
keep the city's head above water un-
til along in October when the situa
ton begins to improve financially.
In September there is an electric
lighting bill of $1,000 due, and the
public schools may be calling for
some money. But by persistent push
ing of dlinquent taxes, and with the
assistance of the minor income from
other sources, it is expected and
hoped to pull through until October
without having further recourse to
the banks.
But the Finance Committee will
have to keep scratching right
along. There is going to be times
when the city treasury floor will look
mighty bare, apparently
