REPORT SHOWS C|TY'S
REVENUES AND COSTS
Auditor Gives Income Of
s3o2,ooo, Expenditures of
S64O,OOO, for Six Months.
COMPARISON is MADE
Excess of Disbursements Over
1911, S14,5OO; Decrease in
Revenue, S42,24
COMPARISON is MADE

The semi-annual report Of the city
! auditor was completed and submitted
to the city commissioners yesterday
tration for the six months ended June
30 to have been 1902. ALPS, and the
expenditures $640,446.51. In the cor
responding period of 1911 the revenues
aggregated $34+,6s6.S5 and the expen-
ditures S25.90494
The difference between the revenues
and expenditures is due TO the fact that
taxes are not received until the last
half OF the year. although their receipt
is anticipated in the operation of the
city government.
The comparison shows the present
admin nistratlon to have had $42 ,245.57
less revenues and TO have exceeded the
expenditures of the first half of 1911
by Sl4,541.57.
Liquor Revenues.
The decrease in revenue ie due al
most entirely TO tho difference In rev.
enue from liquor licenses. During May
of 1911 a large sum was received by
the license department from saloonists
who paid their licenses for the third
quarter before the expiration of the
second quarter in order to be prepared
for the state liquor law of the last leg
islature. 1t is expected that in the
next six months the balance will swing
the other way so far as licenses are
concerned and that the total at the
end of 1912 Will be In excess Of the IL
cepse income at the close of 1911,
A number of items have contributed
to the general expense of the first six
months. The addition of purchasing
agent has increased the expenditures
$25S1.66. In the waterworks depart
ment water main extensions have been
laid by day labor instead Of by con-
tract as heretofore and saving to the
taxpayers has been effected, although
the outlay of that department has been
increased Sl6.6sS.60. The expenditure
OF the park department has increased
more than Sl0,500 by the purchase of
parks and equipment Of Fairgrounds.
Some Show Decrease.
Several of the departments show
marked decreases in expenditures.
These, IN round numbers, are the fire
department, $500; food and dairy de-
partment, $1,000; city treasurer, $1,000;
city engineer, s4lQ0; irrigation depart,
ment, $4,000; city sexton, $1,000.

expenditures for the first half of 1911
and 1912 in the various departments

Instructions Set Out.

AS general defense to their action the
commissioners set UP that the general
instructions to all bidders contained the
following paragraphs
All blank spaces In the proposal must
be filled, but no change must he made In
the phraseology of the proposal, nor shall
any addition be made TO the Items
The board OF commissioners reserves
the right TO reject any and all proposals,
and to waive any informality In any pro-
posal received"
The answer alleges that the prices
which Mr Heman omitted In his bids are
lniormalities and that the commission
has the right therefore to waive them
that In making the award to Mr. Heman
The commissioners acted In good faith
and solely for the interests of the city;
that the items omitted were minor and
unmportant In comparison with the work
TO be done under the extensions in ques-
tion and that the said worl: could be
done by the entire omission OF said
Items without impalrlng the other work
TO be done on said extensions.

nies that he Is n taxpayer as he alleged

BUSH PLANS To
HELP SETTLE
COLORADO
New President of Rio Grande Would
Colonize Largely Along the Line
OF His Road-Grand Valley
Is to Get Much Publicity.

Colonization of Rio Grande terri
tory will play an important part in
the plans of President b. F. Bush for
this years work in developing the
future revenue of the road
We shall pay much attention to
getting settlers on this land where
they can prosper and in helping them
as far as possible to succeed after
they are settled" said Mr. Bush to-
day. The work will be done in a
careful manner to avoid mistakes and
disappointment. Some men are
suited for one kind of work and one
country. Others must be placed I'M
der quite different conditions.
Similar work will be done along
the Missouri Pacific lines. Men who
could succeed in Missouri for in
stance, might find it difficult to make
homes here. Men eager for opportu-
mites in Colorado's sunshine might
not like Missouri at all. So we must
use care and discriminate in coloni-
cation. We shall take up the mat
ter in a systematic way and be thor
ough."
The Grand valley is certain to be
advertised along with the rest of the
state.
Facts about Colorado's soil and re-
sources will be sent out to parts of
the country where prospective set
tiers are likely to be found. Many
huge photographs of Colorado scenes
and much literature has been sent to
the Kansas City land show which
opened yesterday by General Passen-
ger Agent Wadleigh.
A special demonstration train will
probably be run by the Rio Grande
over all its lines next month in
connection with the Colorado Agri-
cultural college. Its experts will
talk with the farmers and stocllmen
at every station, remaining as long
as necessary. to aid them in settling
problems of all sorts. Last year the
train started March : and visited 40
stations. No date has been fixed by
the college and railroad officials
for the trains movements.

RECEPTION TO
PUBLIC WILL Be
WELL ATTENDED
High School Building to Be Thrown
Open for Parents and Children to
See Magnificent New Struc-
ture.-0rchestral Music.

The first public reception to the
new high school building will be
held tomorrow evening and from
present indications from 500 to 900
people will pass through the corri-
doris of the magnificent structure dur
ing the evening hours.
The building will be brilliantly il
Illuminated and an opportunity will
be given everyone to go through
the building and see its convenient
arrangements and its complete equip
ment. The commodious assembly
room, as well as the class and recita-
ton rooms will be thrown open and
it is safe to say that the appoint
ments will be a complete surprise
to the public in general.
The high school orchestra will reIi-
der their usual good music during
the evening.
1t is felt by Supt. ]. H. Allen
and the faculty that if the children
of the grammar schools, with their
parents, might be given an opportu-
nifty of eXaming the building that
it would prove an inspiration to the
pupils of the lower grades to go on
into the high school and complete
their school course. Special invita-
tions, therefore, are extended to pa
rents and their children of the city
and vicinity to attend this reception.
A large crowd is assured at this
