HAD MARROW ESCAPE
Nick Drissell Taken From Lake at the
Beach Unconscious After Diving.

Nicholas Drissen well known in the
city had narrow escape from drown
ing on Sunday afternoon while bathing
at the bathing beach on Washington
island. Drissell dived into the water
and evidently struck his head on ? rock
or some hard substance on the bottom
of the lake. He struck with such force
that he was rendered unconscious. Ro-
bert Williams and Allan. Cook seeing
that he did not come up dived into the
water after him and brought him up
unconscious. He was taken to the
beach and regained consciousness after
ten minutes. Had it not been for the
presence of mind shown by the two
boys it is thought sthat Drissell would
have lost his life Drissel suffered no
bad effects from the experience with
the exception of bad bruise on his
head

EXPENSE SHOWS BIG INCREASE
Cost of Maintaining the Different De
partments of the Smaller Cities
Shown in Report of the Census De
partnent

About $4o5,ooo,00o were spent in
1908 in maintaining and operating the
city departments of the 15S largest
cities in the United States having an
estimated population of 10000 or more
III 1908, whose financial statistics for
that year have been collected by the
census bureau and are analytically pre-
sented in its annual report on the sta
tlstlcs of cities for the year 1908.
In his letter of transmittal to Secre-
tary Nagel of the department of com
merce and labor, Director Durand of
the census bureau states that the report
was prepared under the supervision Of
Dr. LIE Grand Powers, chief statistician
for agriculture, with the assistance of
Division Chief Mailing, of the census di-
vision of statistics of cities.
The maintenance of schools repre-
sents 80 per cent of the total expenses
of cities for "education'' and cost

while the protection Of life and prop
erty by the police, fire, and associated
departments was second In cost. These
two functions of education and protec-
ton of life and property cost So per
cent of about $405, 900, which was
the total expense of maintaining and
operating city departments. For the
whole group of cities the average per
capita expense for schools was $40;
for police departments, 1925; and for
fire departments, $1.72. These per
capita averages vary greatly among the
several cities. Salt Lake City expend-
ed 1913 per capita for schools; New
ton, Mass, So; and New York, Boston,
Washington, Newark, Denver, Spring
field, Mass, and Sacramento each ex-
pended over SO for the same purpose,
while Montgomery expended only $1.63;
Charleston, $1.S1; Norfolk, $215; st.

The fire department had busy day
Friday and quick and effective work
saved the insurance companies a good
many dollars but the exhausted condi-
tion of the horses of all of the COM
panies after their hard work in the ter
rife heat showed that the department
is being required to cover too much
territory for the number of companies
in service. The runs are too long when
there are more than two of them in a
day and there should be another com
pany or two in the outlying sectors of
the city to keep within the margin of
safety when unusual demands are made
on the department Also the public
should use more judgment in turning
in alarms FOR small blazes or grass fires.
It is seldom that a grass fire is threat
ening enough to warrant turning in a
general alarm anu telephone message
to the nearest station will bring large
enough force to handle almost any grass

watch the races between the Racine

appointment as only one of the Ra-

the three brushes pulled off on the track
during the afternoon were almost en-

Of the Kenosha Gentlemen Driving

meet had been advertised as a. meet for
both Racine and Kenosha horses the Of

charge no admission to the track and

the races free. Cuttings Bay Filly

The Division of Payments.

OF $1,236, 7S2, 1924, which was the to-
tai Of the municipal payments, 32.7 per
cent was for tho expenses of maintain
ing and operating the ordinary munich
pal departments and offices; 2.5 per
cent was pa,d for the expenses of the
maintenance and operation of self-sup-
porting public service enterprises, such
as Water-supply systems, lighting sys-
TENS, ETC.; 6T per cent was paid in in
terest on city debt; 22.2 per cent was
paid for OUTLAWS for new buildings,
equipment, and public Improvements
% 3 per cent represents payments in
liquidation of debt; and 12.5 per cent
represents payments Of refunds, pur-
chases of investments by city funds,
and general transfers.
The expenses Of maintaining and ope-
rating. the ordinary municipal depart
ments and Offices for the entire 15S
cities amounted to $404,997, 312, more
than one-fourth of which was paid by
New York City. The expenses of the
government Of Philadelphia were less
than one-fourth of those of New York
City.
The city Of over 100000 population
with the smallest running expenses was
New Orleans, with Milwaukee a close
second.

Per Capita Cost Increases.

The increased costs of maintaining
the government departments Of cities
in recent years is Illustrated by the fact
that in lat cities of over 10000 popu-
lation in 1902 it was $13.36 per capita,
while for the same cities in 1908 it was
1861.
The costs of maintaining the police
department during the same interval
for the same cities have risen steadily
from $d.90 toY$226 per capita; the fire
department., from $1.33 to $1.72; health
conservation, from 1922 to 5000; sani-
tation, from 1901 to $1.38; highways,
from $1.72 to $1.83; and schools, from
$500 to $40.
The financial transactions of these
158 largest cities involved the receipt
and expenditure of more than one and
quarter billion of dollars, the pay
ments amounting to $1,284, 100000
and the receipts to 1885, 100000 The
excess of the receipts over the pay
ments was due to large loans by the
cities during the year and is reflected
in cash on hand at the close Of the year,
$19S,o0o,O00, as compared with $145,-
100000 on hand at the beginning of the
year.
Gross payments and receipts are di-
,vided into municipal" payments and
receipts and "agency" payments and
receipts, the latter forming only 81 per
cent Of the payments and SO per cent
OF the receipts, and consisting of trans
actions in which the city acts as fiscal
agent in collecting revenue for the
state or county or as trustee for priv
ate parties.
