Itis planned by the general c)m-
mittee at Washington that this COM
mittee ard the several state conf
mittecs shall systematically take up
and further the important matter of
state cooperation and of uniformity of
state laws concerning the entire forest
problem, fire protection, forest regula-
ton, corporation with the nation and
with adjacent states, forest taxation,
conservation, etc, in which procedure
the general committee is assured of
the active aid of the Forest Service at
Washington.
The parent committee at Washing
ton will plan the general fight to De
made and will supply the various
state committees with printed matter
and other data.
The state committees, however, are
expected 70 look iuto and report to
Washington what III their judgment
is most Immediately needed in their
respective localities. It is understood
shat the Tennessee committee, or ad-
yisory board, has already some plans
for securing cnaotments at the next
session Of the Tennessee Legislature
for the creation Of q forestry commiss-
ion for Tennessee under the lead of a
saIuriad, experienced forester, and the
requirement by the state OF consld-
cradle area OF land upon which to put

| be made or deferred, he limit fixed
by the legislature stands as a positive
barrier to our issuing more paving
bonds than levy of 30 per cent. will
cover interest AMI sinking fund upon.
This fixes The City's limit for paving
bonds at about $l17,000.00. While
this allows the completion of the work
now provided for, it stops further paw,
ing under bond issues until our taxable
values increase.
Also in The Water department. we
are confronted with a situation which
would seem TO CAL FOR reduction Of
speed in street paving construction.
With evident wisdom the Board has
decreed that no street shall be paved
until a Waterman, OF size considered
adequate for twenty-five years growth
of population, shall have been laid in
such street. The cost of this work has
placed very heavy burden On the
Water fund. The cost of the mains
laid on West Market street, Unaka
Avenue, Buffalo and Walnut streets,
the expensive mains laid to the Wilson
and the Hice factories, and the estimat
ed cost of The mains being aid on
Spring, Boone, and Maple Streets,
will exhaust the surplus and will leave
us at the end of the fiscal year wi tn All
over draft of not less than $1,000. and
possibly double that figure. And there
is no surplus in sight from next years
operation to provide for the construct
ion of mains.
The gross revenue from The Water
department last year was al out s23,
10000. This year, despite the growth
of the City, it will be nearly $1,000
less, due TO our having loss part of the
business of the Cranberry Furnace Co.,
and TO our having given the Southern
Railway reduction in charges when
it's terminals were removed from here
to Bulls Cap. Under the most favor
able conditions, next years showing
by the Water Department will
approximate.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT
OF SOHNSON CITY,
Mr., Cy II. Lyle,
Editor, The Comet,
johnson City Tenn.
Oct. 26th. 1912.

Mr. Cy II. Lyle,
Editor, The Comet,
Dear Sir:
A number of tax payers have reques
ted me to prepare and send to you for
publication statement of the city's
financial condition, with particular re-
ference TO the followingi
l. Has the city reached its limit in
ability to issue paving bonds?
2. Is the water department paying
expenses
3. What increase over last years city
tax rate OF 81. .15 will be required to pay
interest on the paving and other bonds
authorized this year?
To answer these inquiries the follow
ing has been prepared and has been
read to the beard of mayor and alder
men and to The City Attorney, Mr.. Geo.
e Sells, whose legal opinions are used
herein.
The limit on our issuance of paving
bonds is fixed by the general assembly
of Tennessee in the abutting property
law of 1907 which fixes maximum
tax levy for interest and sinking fund
for bonds issued to pay for that part of
paving, ETC., chargeable to the city at
large at fifty cents on the 500 of tax
able property. The assessed value OF our
taxable property lor 1912 is S2,Ol5,OOO.
A levy of 50 per cent, thereon provides
500 1880 for interests and sinking
fund. To compare our maximum limit
with our requirements for present needs
let us look at the following statements:

HARVEST IS BOUNTtOUS
Emery County Farmers Have Rest
Crops For Many Years.

CASTLE DALE. Sept 2l.-The
farmers are very jubllant In Castle
Valley because OF the bounteous
haryests which they are now reap
Ing There will be more wheat and
oats raised In Castle Valley this
year than has ever been produced
IN a single harvest since the valley
was Inhabited, The fruit crop Is a
most excellent one. and thousands
OF bushels OF apples are going 20
waste on account OF the people liy-
ing so far from market that II does
not pay TO haul the fruit overland
and then make shipment.
Castle Valley people are living in
hopes of a railroad being extended
through TO Emery. and are ready TO
assist In this enterprise. The re-
sources OF Emery county will some
time be celebrated. We have an
abundance OF coal. plenty OF water,
good land and excellent climate and
an industrious class OF people.
IL has been thoroughly demon
strated that no place In Utah can
produce better sugar beets than
the soil OF Emery county,
