Reduces Sewer Tax.


is ALL
Reduces Sewer Tax.
Mr.. Dawson showed the board by
his own figures that he was going
to get such a wonderful increase in
revenues that they could afford to
cut off the sewer tax. So they took
his word and cut it off. Now, the
truth of the matter is that putting
on all these meters has greatly in
creased the expense of the water
department. The water department
for yeans has gone long ways in
keeping up expenses of the city.
When we made our iast levy, Mr.
Dawson said he would have $4,000
net from the water department to
put in towards helping pay the gen
eral expenses of the city. This
was a smaller sum than was used for
general city purposes by the old
city council before we had these
three horses and buggies and $4,000
worth of meters. To say nothing of
extra help, such has man who
reads meters and a MAN WHO
BOSSES TWO "NIGGERS." Gus
Mueller use to do 80 the bossing
and most of the work, too, but
guess the water commissioner
thought Gus worked too much for \
boss and he hired one for that purt
pose.
Now, said a minute ago, Mr..
Dawson promised this $4,000 from
the water department and Mr.. Bridg-
man figured on getting that much
and acted accordingly. Now, it ap-
pears that owing to the great ex-
pense of that department we will not
get anything like that amount.
1t is easy when you have bond
money to buy meters, but If You
don't watch your expense account 1t
is easy to eat up the revenue.
Value of City Water and Sewer De-
partments.
The city of ArdmOre, according
| to her books, has about s400,000.00
in waterworks and sewers. Now,
from all that investment the city is
not receiving $1,000 annually, less
than l IA per cent on the invest
ment
Now, Mr.. Dawson says he has
been giving the best possible service
at the lowest possible cost. Now,
it is easy to say that. It has
fine ring to it, but when you put
the figures to it YOU viii find they
tell a far different story. Do you
suppose Charley Anderson, Mike
German. Gill Stuart or any other
good business man would brag about
that kind of a showing?
Dawson Trying to Give Best Service.
Mr.. Dawson has been trying hard,
| believe, TO give the best possible
service, but he has put on too many
men and raised too many salaries
and bought too many horses and
buggies and had too many bosses.
He has not paid enough attention
to the expense side of the ledger.
Promises 10 Make Ardmore Grow.
And last of all he says that If
we will elect him mayor he will
show us that Ardmore can and will
progress and keep pace with the
other cities of the state. Now, that
is the thing We all want to see.
Everyone of us are vitally interested
in that, for it means more money
and better times generally to all of

time that the only duty the mayor
had to perform was to be a good
fellow and welcome all strangers TO
our city. But, as to its business
affairs he should keep hands off.
Mr.. Dawson, acting upon the idea
that each man was supreme in his
department, bought $4,000 worth of
meters without calling for bids to
be opened by the board or leaving
the matter TO the board. He sim
ply came up one night and reported
that he had bought $4,000 worth
of meters. He bought tops for them
the same way He bought three
horses and buggies for the men in
his department the same way. He
paid for all this out OF the bond
money. He had to report them in
order to have the board order
warrant. so ! was ordered to sign
these warrants.
Now, when it comes to criticism
| know of no man connected with
the city who is more open to criti-
cism than MIR. Dawson. He located
all the sewers, together with Mr.
Sayre.

Location of Sewers.

might ask him why he located
sewers out in the McLish Addition
when he only has one or two men
connected? Why they put in a sew
er out there 20 feet deep and many
blocks long? One man has connect
ed and he didn't empty water enough
down into the sewer to carry off
the sewage. Gus Mueller had to
go out and flush the sewer to accom-
modate this one man. Now think OF
that. If myself and the other mem
bers of the board deserve criticism
it is for letting Mr.. Dawson reign
so supreme in his department.
We thought We had arranged it
by having the property owners sign
petitions saying they would connect
with the sewer or pay rental if they
did not connect. Not % per cent
of the people living along the line,
but owners of % per cent of the
property along the line Now, these
petitions have been signed, but that

FRATBRAL AND OTHER AD-
DRESSES, By Morris Sheppard. s0 Pp'
The author Of this book is the sovereign
banker OF the Woodmen OF the World and
eSngressman from Texas, and dedicates
the work to Joseph Cullen Root In q very
complimentary paragraph.
This volume is made up OF two score
addresses delivered by Mr.. Sheppard or
extracts from these addresses. They cover
a somewhat wide field. but the majority
deal with the different phases OF fraternal-
ism. especially as exemplified by the tenets
and practices OF the Woodmen of the
World. the great order which was founded
In Omaha and has It's headquarters here.
Research and study are indicated in
many OF the addresses, and a high-pitched
strain OF eloQuence pervRdes them all The
author has drawn on history. ancient and
modern. in its most picturesque and strik-
Ing phases. and has gathered many beauti-
ful and edifying pictures and uplifting ex-
amplsa, which he has elaborated ia good,
strong English Those OF the addresses
devoted 10 departed members Of the order
are filled with a touching elevation OF
thought that gives them a value much be-
yond the ordinary Of such effusions and
there IL apparent throughout q flavor OF
deep sincerity. OF optimism and OF un-
Questioning faith. That Mr.. Sheppard is
equipped with a mind and heart keenly
susceptible to the touch OF nature that
makes All men kin is amply testified by
his speeches a. set forth IN this book.
Outside the fraternal field there are cogent
ana clever addresses on Abraham Lincoln

York. on books on Christian citizenship
