In the preceding article, attention
was called to the fundamental dis
tinction between general revenues,
derived from taxes, licenses, fines,
etc, and commercial revenues, inclu-
ding special assessments and the
earnings of public service enterprises;
and it was pointed out that unless
these classes of income are report
ed separately, no one can find out
how much or little of burden the
government really imposes on the
people.
On the side of expenditures, an
equally fundamental distinction exists
between maintenance charges and the
cost of permanent improvements.
Under maintenance are included cur
rent expenses of all sorts, ordinary
repairs, and such a per cent for de-
probation as will be sufficient to re-
new the physical plant by the time
1t is worn out. This sort of account
ing is customary in all well-managed
private enterprises; it is equally in
dispensable in all public service en-
terprlSes undertaken by the municipal
lily; and 1t IS essential in the ordi-
nary operations of government, if the
public is to have the means of know
ing what is the real cost of govern
ment, and whether current revenues
are equal to the expenditures prop
erly chargeable against them.
Permanent improvements, on the
other hand, cover investments in
lands, buildings, bridges, new high
nh
which are designed to serve for a
number of years. Expenditures for
such purposes are often met in whole
or in part by public loans; and in
any case they are not properly a
part of the cost of government in
any one year, but should be spread
out over a number of years CORE
spending to the durability of the i'm
provementS in question.
1t is therefore absolutely neces-
sary to separate payments for main
tenance from payments for perma-
nent improvements, both in public
service enterprises managed by the mu-
nicipality and in the ordinary opera
lions of the government. Unless this
is done land in the systems of ac-
counting used by municipalities it is
often not done) no one on earth can
tell what is the true cost of govern
ment, nor whether public service en-
terprises conducted by the govern
ment are really making money or
losing it, nor whether the present
generation is paying it's way, or sad
ding upon the future not only the
cost of permanent Improvements but
a part of the expenditures for the
salaries of public officials and other
current expenses.
In fact, there is no doubt that va
rious municipalities actually have rev.
enues insufficient to pay maintenance
charges plus interest on the public
debt, and as a result are every year
going deeper into debt to meet cur
rent expenses by piling up larger
masses of unpaid warrants, or over
drawing at the bank, or borrowing

REGINA HIT HARD BY
CYCLONE; MANY DEAD

The following telegram, dated yes
terday, was received at the office of
Fowler & Pay, in this city, during
the forenoon:
Regina, Sask., June 30.-Fowler
& Pay, Mankato, Mimi: Regina
visited by a cyclone this afternoon.
Two blocks of city in ruins. Number
dead and many injured. | am all
risht.-e. r. Pay"
MIR. Pay was in Regina on busi-
ness. The first news of the cyclone
received here was conveyed in the
above telegram.
Winnipeg, July IA terrific cyclone
swept over Regina, Sask., leaving in
Its path many dead, hundreds of
manned bodies and a loss that will
run far into the millions.
A message from ]. r. Sutherland,
superintendent of the government
telephones, said that thirty girls were
at work in the main Regina exchange,
which was demolished; that three
were killed instantly, that seven died
after being taken from the ruins and
that several are in hospital in criti-
cal condition.
Further than this no information
has come about fatalities, save the
general statement that there were
many of them. 1t will be impossible
to estimate with any accuracy for sew
eral hours the number who persisted
or are imprisoned in damaged build
ings. Early reports said there were
perhaps 200 dead.
Physicians have been hurried to the
scene from here. They are accom-
panied by nurses. Regina hospitals
are filled with patients and temporary
places for treatment of the wounded
are being located. Every vehicle in
the city, it was said, was put into use
as ambulances.
The cyclone followed day Of thun-
der storms and high winds. Notwith-
standing many people were in the
streets, walking, or riding in automo-
biles or carriages. The city was gor-
