CITIES SPEND
BIG AMOUH is

The L S. Census Bureaus special
annual report OF tnc statistics OF the
l5S cities which had in 1907 a popula-
ton OF over 10000 each, is being
printed
il is explained in the report that
payments for land. new buildings,
neT work on streets, and other addi"
tons and improvements are defined
by the Bureau as "outlaye.' Such
payments comprised much larger
percentage OF the total payments OF
the government OF 1iS OF the 15S larS-
est cities in 1907 than in 1902, being
34.J per cent OF such costs In the
lator yenr rs compared with 21.3 per
cent in 1902.
In other words. payments for out
lays INCREASED SEC per cent in the
interya' while Payments for expenses
and interest increased only 35.1 per
cent Receipts from revenues increas-
e,l 35S per cent. so that in 1907 a
much larger proportion OF the ou;lays
had TO be paid from loans than in
1902
Many OF the western cities had un-
usually large outlay expenditures;
more than 20 per cent Of the pay
mcnts for meeting governmental costs

tipn.

Philadelphia s5,l9337s. Chicago S3.-
794.l95. Pittsburg S2,i9s,270, and New
Orleans $2.0S5.730.
The total payments for oUtlays In
all the cities was S2ii,llI,29S and the
Increase In net debt was Sl2O,930.63l.
1t Will thus be seen that practically
one half oil the outiays were paid for
without increasing the net debt This
Is in marked contrast 10 the practice
in English cities
The report states that In consldera-
ticn of the credit OF cities the increase
In The net debt should probably be
reduced by a portion Of the amount
OF outlays expended on pubic service

the increase In the let debt n New
York city for the year 1907 was S6G.
23S.799. while payments for ouuays
for public service enterprises amount

in tho net debt for general govern
mental purposes, with which the tax
payers arc chiefly concerned, was less
than S40,000.00o.

holders who died from Kidney Disease
and Diabetes last year.
In line Of test cases Fulton
Componds have shown an efficiency
OF 81 per cent in these cases, and if
those policy.holdcrs had been advised
OF this treatment and our figures
maintained YOU ought To have nearly
100000 OF those losses In your treas
ury.
But let us say that. making due al
lowance for our enthusiasm. the prov.
en- efficiency should be reduced 30
per cent That would Still mean that
you arc losing 100000 a year due to
lack ot knowledge Of these specifics.
Is not that vast sum worth saving
annually? And even II it were nor.
isn't II humane duty TO carry hope
