NEWPORT NEWS. June City
Auditor John Read last night sub
mitted figures showing that the finan :
cial condition Of the city of Newport
News liz excellent. On June L the
city had upwards OF fifty thousand
dollars on hand. The collections dur
ing the month Of May averaged about
$1,000 a day for each working day
of the month. 1t Is estimated that
when the fiscal year comes to an end
June 80 there will me $4,000 on
which to begin the new year. Dur
ing the present year there have been
extraordinary expenses paid out OF
the general fund. nearly all of which
went into permanent improvements,
50 that, had there been only the nor
NAL disbursements. the city to-day
would have about $4,000 in hand.
The impression that got abroad
some months ago that Newport News
was near bankruptcy was entirely in
correct and was, given currency by
people who opposed the erection of
modern high school here. Their
arguments got away from them and
caused the city to be advertised In a
manner not TO Its advantage.

How to start Your Auto.

In starting your car the first thing
to do is TO open the throttle so as TO
admit the mixture to the cylinders.
When you exercise your brains In the
operation. you will seek to determine
how far to open it. If you have a
light-powered car, you will require a
fairly rich mixture in order that the
ny wheel may be sent around at a
good rate. thus frightening the power
which the clutch must absorb when
It is ist in. In fow-powered car,
the load thrown upon II by the clutch
may stop it with undesirable strain. y
On the contrary. In high powered
car the full force OF the motor is
more than Is needed and the throttle
shouldAbe but moderately opened.
Here too rich a mixture will start
your motor off on a race. and when
this happens by mistake. the hrainy
driver will throttle down at once and
get 1t just right before letting In
the clutch His object Is to avoid
the strain ON the transmission which
would otherwise occur.--Robert Sloss
