SUBSCRIPTION PRICE. nnl2uAand h.
FEEDING THE MULES.

At Thursday mornings session O. the City Beautiful Club the president Mrs. IN. B. Trulock, called on Street Commissioner Collier for a statement as to how and in what direction the vehicle tax paid by the citizens o Pine Bluff was expended and the Street Commissioner very promptly advised that the money derived from this tax was spent, as the law directs 1t shall be, on the maintenance and improvement of the streets of the city and if we are correctly advised, he stated "the sum of six hundred dol lars per year is spent for feed for :he nules.''
 The law under which the vehicle tax in Pine Bluff is levied and coli lected is very plain and distinctly states that every dollar derived by taxing the vehicles owned by Pine Bluff citizens shall be spent for only the care and maintenance of the streets of Pine Bluff The Surre me .Coprt~oN the State of Arkansas was called on for ruling on this law and it's decision was thu the money tfGs derived must be spent only for the care and maintenance of the streets of the city whose citizenship paid the tax The records in the city col'ec- tors office of Pine Bluff will snow that the vehicle tax as paid by Pine Bluff citizens is no small amount, and 30 that the Graphic readers may see just what amount is being paid under this tax we now give them the staie- ment as will be found on page 51 of City Collector Russelrs Ledger of :,c- counts:
 For the year 1906-(this was the last years collection made before Mr. Russell assumed the City Collector ship,) there was paid under this We hicle Tax" account $2,112.00.
 For the year 1907 he collected s4,- 157.75.
 For the year 1908 he collected, s!- 0s4.5o.
 For the year 1909 he collected s5,- 162.00.
 For the year 1910 he collected $5.- S24.45.
 This tax is delivered to the City Treasurer by the City Collector, ard the City Treasurer pays it out by honoring the city's warrants as are ordered by the City Council. The City Beautiful Club might not be con- sidered out of their line of duty i: it should request the City Council at it's next regular meeting to advise the tax payers just what other items of expense in running the city govern ment is paid out of the vehicle tax besides the item Street Commissioner Collier told about, that of "six land red dollars for feeding the mules-'
 The sum of twenty thousand eight hundred and forty dollars and seven ty cents collected for five years is nc small amount. and 1t surely would go at its average of four thousand, one hundred and sixty-eight dollars an' fourteen cents per rear quite lehs wav toward bettering the condition oi Pine Bluff streets.

The crowded condition in

remedied temporarily by hav-
ing the pupils attend only one
session each day. The parents
will cooperate with Miss
Brandriff in this arrangement
readily because of the exceed
ingly warm weather and be-
cause of the fact that these
little folks find it very'hard to
adapt themselves to the close
CONTINENT after the freedom
of their unrestricted home life.
We wish to call the attention
of the parents of the third ward
to the improvement made by
the Board of Education during
the summer by the splendid
sanitary equipment of toilet
rooms both for girls and boys.
This was a much needed inn
provement and is the second
step in making all the school
buildings thoroughly modern
