jackson, Miss, Jan. 4.--With assets
OF $4,000 and liabilities of $S1. 900,
the city will be a bankrupt on Sep.
tember lst, with a deficit of $4,000,
according to figures furnished by City
Auditor Shields at the meeting of the
city council, yesterday afternoon. The
council decided to proceed in the ad-
ministration of the city affairs along
lines of strict economy in the coming
nine months.
The finance committee has called
meeting of the heads of all the city
departments, to be held at ) o'clock
Thursday afternoon, with view of
cutting the salaries of every city en-
ploye. The cut will effect the mayor
and will make clean sweep all down
the line. This will mean a saving Of
$4,000 in nine months, and while it
will not be sufficient to get the city
out of debt it will put it in more
solid financial condition.
City is Bankrupt.
1T the city was a business organ
ization or a commercial institution
it would be forced nto bankruptcy"
commented Councilman W. L. Buck,
a ne ~ Of tie finance committee.
TIL araj f1rJ is what $ giving
the fathers trouble and causing
them lose much sleep at night. The
fund owes to ,he Waterworks Bond
Fund the munifcent sum of $4,000,
which must be paid back, although 1t
can be borrowed again shortly there
after The city also owes three notes
representing S7S75 principal and in
terest on three ontes in favor of the
State Charity Hospital as the city's
donation. These notes are now due
with interest, and the city has adopt
ed an ordinance providing for the is
suance of warrants by City Clerk
Lusk to pay them. With the water
works loan and the charity hospital
donation to pay back, the city treas
ury will be depleted on September 1,
the end of the fiscal year.
The figures compiled by Auditor
Shields shows that the expenses of
the city administration is running far
ahead OF the receipts. The tax col
lections are but half paid up. Col
lections amounting to approximate
ly $25,000 viii come in about the mid
die of February, and small amount
will be returned to the treasury from
police department sources, court
fines, licenses and other revenue.
Slash in Salaries.
That there will be a slash in sal
aries of about 20 per cent per EN-
ploye, is the belief of a majority of
the board. Councilmen Buck and
Beyins are in favor of the proposed
cut, and other members of the board,
while they are not strictly in favor of
the cut realize that it is the only So
Iution. Mayor Crowder believes that
the cut is the only method by which
the city can retrench, and Council
men Maxey and Taylor are in favor
Of the cut wherever it can be made
without Gripping the department,
amounts to $4,000 per month.
In order to learn the condition in
the various departments Of the city,
Councilman Buck offered a resolution

Shortly after the outbreak Of the Ameri.
can Civil War Henderson got the war fever
and left for America where he joined the
Navy, during which time he witnessed stir

ing.

Saturday, 14th September, 1912.

Beyond the expression of our sincere
sympathy with the bereaved family, we
have little to add to our correspondent Rs
obituary notice Of the late Mr.. ALEXANDER
HENDERSON.
We would, however, mention that we
gratefully recall the services which Mr..
HENDERSON rendered the Savings Bank in
his frequent attendances at the office Of
the Institution in Frederiksted as a Trus-
tee, and his occasional valuable advice as
a Member of the Board of Investment. In
the hope of his early return in good health
from Copenhagen he was reelected a Trus-
tee at the General Annual Meeting on Fri
day last, and as a Member of the Board Of
Investment at a meeting of the Trustees
held on Tuesday afternoon.
