Some Startling Reports Of What the
New Form Of Government Did

One Year
The AUDITORS REPORT
Des Moines over $4,000 ii Debt.
Now that City Has an Excess
Over indebtedness Of Al
most Sos. 900.

"A gentleman In this city who was
one Of the chief instigators In gain
Ing for Keokuk the commission plan
OF government which Will go into effect
IN this city next spring, is in receipt of
the first annual report OF the city OF
Des Moines for the year 1908, conduct
ed under the commission plan OF gov
eminent The book is the compliment
of A. J. Mathis, mayor of Des Moines,
and gives in full and complete report,
the first figures Of one years expert
ment with commission form OF gov
eminent by Iowa's capital city. The
book contains the city auditors report
and shows to the smallest fraction the
accounts as kept by him and the gain
which has been made by that city I'M
der the new form of city government.
The figures show some remarkable
gains, whether they can be attributed
| to the new form of government or not.
In 1907. on April lst, the end of the
fiscal year. that city had cash on hand,
S7o,S96 but had claims against that
cash of about s55,000. On April 1st
Of the Iext year the cash on hand
amounted to 2,790, while claims in
excess of the cash on hand amounted
to s119,199.
Then came on the new form of gov
eminent and on April 1st OF this year
the city had s164,s52 in cash on hand
and total of cash over all out-stad-
ing claims OF sI04, S55.
/ The gain of cash over the proceed
ing year was s4s,439 while the gain
over the year before that was $1S2,s49.
Tho Auditor.
! From the looks of the inside of the
book in which is contained the annual
report of the auditor, that parsonage
must be very busy man as there are
POT pages from cover to cover OF Audi

kuk is to adopt the commission plan
of government next spring. perhaps a
few statistics would prove of much in
4 terest to the voters.
The auditor, when elected by ths
people, was merely warrant cleri
and had little responsibility other thar
issuing warrants and keeping RECORD
of the appropriation. Under the new
pla and uder the supervise of the De
partment of Finance and Accounts, tn,
auditors duties and responsibilitie,
are greatly increased. Not only has h,
the power. but it has been made hi
duty to see that the records are proper

result, each department files witt

fullness across the shoulders and bust
The fencing shirt usually is made o.
sheer, soft batiste. II never Is starched
and it is cut invariably over the same
pattern.
The two fronts and the back OF the
shirt are cut a little fuller than a per-
fectly plain shirt waist They are felled
together on the shoulder and under the
arm and then sewn into a neckband
with a few gathers strOked in at the
back Of the neck las IN a workman,

silk elastic and finished to fit the waist
measurement blouses the garment over
exactly like a child's sailor blouse.
The sleeve is cut for a twO-inch
bishops wristband at the hand and
with only a few gathers at the armhole
The TOP line Of the sleeve shows very
little rise, being cut high underneath
to admit OF raising the arm The cuff
hands and the front hem are then
opened for the insertion of a five-inch
hemstitched frill, which falls over the
hands and cascades down the front
The fencing shirt is worn with a stIS

IL Is intended that in the house one

are matters that admit Of no argument.

Women have q propensity for usurp-
ing the uniforms of various professions
and of converting them temporarily into
fashions for themselves.
They long ago affected the military
for their tailored trimmings, they claim
ed most Of the navy trappings for their
yachting clothes. they positively laid
siege TO the MILDLY blouse. which they
wear for athletics and for school.
A mans sweater isn't his own any
more, since women prefer its sleeve and
shoulder line to the exclusively wo-
rnanish sweater. and women now are
veering over to the fencing shirt as a
daily blouse
It is very sheer. full and beautiful
little garment that has somehow es-
capped undue popularity, perhaps be
cause It belongs TO a peculiar type OF
woman who, while she NAV ne slender,
has unusual breadth across the Shout
