bold their Jobs.

commissioner, will be retained as, a
pro.eminently efficient officer, while DIR.
D. B. Clark, state veterinarian is not

WANTS CITY TO PAY.
Henry Wood of Waukegan Asks $500
From City for Injuries on Street.

Henry Wood of Waukegan through
his attorney A. L. Drury has fled
claim against the city for $500 which
he claims for personal injuries received
on November II. In his claim WOOD
alleges that he was driving along Eliz-

an obstruction in the road was the
cause of his being thrown from the
buggy. He suffered a severe strain of
the wrist and shoulder and he now
claims that the injuries are of a per-
manent nature. This is the third claim
that has been fled against the city on
account of the condition of Elizabeth

Statistical reports are wonderful
things sometimes but it is unusual to
find no mention OF contagious disease
in the column supposed to record the
full number of cases of every variety
of sickness and then glance over the
report and find deaths from that same
disease recorded. There is an in
consistency somewhere. The state board
of health should be given funds enough
to admit of the compilation of complete
statistics.

ment. 1t was the first to make ap-
plication and would have been the
first to have put it into effect had
some intervening objections not de-
layed the work.
Tulsa adopted the plan about a
week before this city although its
application was later.
The plan was adopted in Ardmore
little more than a year ago. The
business of the city had BEEN con
ductei in the old way, had proved
from year to year unsatisfactory, in
debtedness was piling up and at the
time of its adoption there was hang
ing over the city $l31 900 in war
rants, $1,000 of which had been is
sued in February, 1908, showing that
there was an increase of the burden
instead of a decrease, that the future
was rather problematical and that
the business of the city was not
conducted in conformity to the inter
ests of the taxpayers, even though
there was no intent to involve the
municipality in difficulty.
Under the commission plan

of a mayor and four commissioners

make it entirely partisan, but
owing to certain methods which
did not meet the approval Of the
progressive class, a democratic tick

tually elected. The board is com
posed of progressive, able business
men of undoubted character, of bust
ness ability and with motives only
actuated for the best interests of
the city.
Since their Inauguration in office
the administration of the city af-
fairs has been strictly on a business
basis.
Everything has been run on
cash basis, no warrant of any kind
is issued unless there is money in
the fund to meet it and every war
rant states on its face the fund for
which it is issued, the amount of
money in the fund, the amount ap-
propriated, thus showing on each
warrant just how the respective
funds stand and the condition OF
the city's finances.
The assessed valuation has been
reduced and this year the valuation
will be $1,2OO,OOO less with a de
crease in the rate Of about three
mills. After paying all the bills of
the city, after meeting every matur-
ing obligation there will be left in
the treasury between $4,000 and
$4,000 to begin the next fiscal year,
