sEAT GA TIE SCANDAL

OLA Vt III OOANDEAL
The scandal of the cannerieS
must cease. The scandal of the
meat packing houses must cease.
The scandal of impure foods and
drugs must cease. We hear much
along this line, but what is the
scandal and how is an end to be
put to it?
Does the scandal consist in dir
ty canneries, dirty packing houses
and dirty ingredients of prepared
foods and drugs, and are we go
ing to make them cease" by
merely scrubbing up and fumigat-
ing the premises?
No. The scandal lies in low
wages of the employees. Low
wages is the nucleus of the scan
dial, and back to that run almost
all the evils of cannery and pack
ing house and drug factory. Clean
up the business premises surely,
but what of the premises from
which come those who handle the
foodstuffs and the drugs?
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-12-09

Low wages force uncleanliness
and sanitary recklessness, and
chronic physical and nervous ex-
haustion breeds communicable
disease.
Man is not naturally a dirty
animal. He wants to be clean, but
soap and water cost money. He
wants to live in healthful, cheer
full place, with clean clothes, clean
carpets, wallpaper, beds and other
furniture, but things to eat con-
sumo his income.
What can be expected in the
home, with father, mother and
even the children out at work in
cannery or factory? The scandal
is not so much that the canneFy,
for instance, is dirty, but that
father, mother and children have
to work in it and live in neglected
homes.
Oh yes, by law we can require
that the cannery business be oper-
ated under proper sanitary regu-
lations. Skin-deep protection to
society," Some day society is go
ing to adopt the minimum wage
as self-protection, as to health,
morals and finances.

On inspection of Exhibit "a" it
will be found that reference is 81
ven to Schedules 81, 3D." 80"
49," 49, for details of the receipts,
disbursements, outstanding taxes
and accounts payable brought into
account in order to arrive at the
actual revenue and expenditure
during the period under review.
The taxes payable to the School
Board shown i'm Schedule So re-
present three mills on the taxes
collected for which no settlement
has been made. The total income
taxes for the period under review
was $3.50. 40, but, the appropria-
ton of three mills is only applica-
BILE to the taxes for the year 1911;
previous to this year settlement
was made on another basis and the
payments in settlement of this pre-
yious tax are included in the dis
bursements shown in Schedule "2.
WATER AND LIGHT FUND. We
present as Exhibit "B" statement
showing the revenue and expendi-
ture of the Water and Light Fund
for the period under review, from
which it will be seen that the net

We submit the following CON-
ments on the constituent items OF
the balance sheet:
FIXED ASSETS, $l5,659.l5. The
assets included under this head are
those which, in their nature, are
permanent and are included at the
value at which they were estimated
for inclusion in this settlement by
the former Mayor of the City, Mr..
Mr.. H. p. Fournet, with the ex-
ception of the furniture and fix
lures, which were appraised by Mr..
Resweber. Mr.. Fournet from his
intimate knowledge of the cost of
these assets was able to appraise
them at their present value. AL
though it is apparent from an in
spection of the list drawn up by
I Mr.. Fournet that the whole of the
assets of the Corporation are not
included, particularly in respect to
the Water and Light Plant, we
have adopted these values in order
to present clearer statement of
the financial position, than wouh
otherwise be Obtainable

SOURCES OF REVENUE
TAXES. All citizens within the
corporate limits of the town of st.
Martinville are assessed on the pro
perty held by them Oh the follow
ing basis in accordance with the
Assessment Roll made each and
cetti6ed by the ofhcia Assessor:
Corporation Tax 10 mills
Special Tax Water
and Light 5 mills
Drainage Tax 2 mills
Out Of the 10 mills tax levied
for the Corporation an appropria-
ton of 3 mills is set aside for
school tax payable to the School
Board of the Parish Of st. Martin,
less commission of 5 per cent in
reimbursement for the expense of
collection of said taxes.
Under the terms of All ordinance
issued by the Town Council on
March IL, 1903 the Special Tax
of ) mills WAS set aside as a Sink
ing Fund" for the redemption of
bonds issued by the Water and
Electric Light System of the Town
and the yearly payment of the
coupons thereon.
The Drainage Tax of 2mills was
levied for the purpose of reimbur-
sing the Cypress Island Lafayette
Drainage District Board for pay
ments made by them and the sum
raised 10y levy of this tax is paya-
bic to them as collected, less a
commission of ) per cent OH the
amount collectible.
The other sources of revenue OF
the Corporation consist of:
LICENSES. Levied as per ordi.
nance of the City Council on the
business interests of the town.
FINES. Imposed by the Mayor
for petty offenses against the regu
tons of the City ordinances.
MARKET REVENUES. For renta
of market spaces occupied by Mer
chants in the Market Building be
longing to the Town.
INTEREST AND COSTS. Anothel
source of revenue consists of cost
and interest charged to delinquen
tax payers.
WATER AND LIGHT PLANT. Tb,
City also owns and operates a wa
ter and light plant for the suppl,
of water and light to the inhabi
tants of the City.
RESULTS OF THE EXAMINATION.
TDxEs. We made careful exa
mination of the tax records ant
compared the amount leviable a
stated i'm the assessment rolls will
the actual receipts as recorded il
the several cash books maintaine'
by the Secretary and Treasurer
Although generally the tax record
were found by us to be well main
tanned, as a result of this examina
ton we ascertained that the re
ceipt of taxes of the following va
lue were not recorded, viz:
The weekly messenger. [volume] (St. Martinsville [i.e. St. Martinville] La.) 1886-1948, 1912-07-27

LICENSES. The records apper-
tanning to the licenses leviable since
March 1906 were found by us to
have been destroyed, the leaves of
the License Register, which is a
bound book, having been apparent
ly cut out with a knife and al
though repeated demands were
made by us for these leaves they
were not produced for our inspec-
ton. AS a result of the absence of
this information we were compell-
ed to accept the records contained
on the stubs of the license certi-
ficate book as evidence of the va
lue of the licenses collectible. OF
these the greater proportion were
actually received in cash, but H.
censes to the value of S655 were
not recorded as having been re-
ceived up to May 70, 1912, and
from information given to us are
treated in the accounts now pre-
scented as outstanding, one item
alone being for sum of $625. In
addition to the value of the licen
SEES thus remaining unpaid it was
ascertained that license issued to
A. q. Goulas amounting to So had
been received and unaccounted for.
Further reference to this matter
will be found later in this report.
FINES. No record of fines i'm
posed in the Mayors Court was
available for our inspection and
therefore no check could be Oh
tanned by us OH the fines imposed
and thus collectible.
| MARKET REVENUES. No record
appears to have been kept for the
revenue obtainable from tenants OF
stalls i'm the Market Building, and
the receipt book was the only evil
dence offered to us in support OF
the income from this source. On
examining the book certain re-
ceipts which had been made out
but were unissued were produced
to us with the explanation that the
amounts recorded thereon vert
collectible, list of these is ap,
pended to this report and further
reference will be found later here
in when commenting on the &C
counts receivable.
INTEREST. A check was institu
ted by us on the delinquent taxes
and we found that all the interest
due thereon was properly recorded
with the exception of a sum o
$l.36.
. DISBURSEMENTS. We carefully
youched the whole of the disburse
ments recorded by the Secretar.
and Treasurer and found them t.
be correct. The method of recor
ding these payments were unsatis
I factory, and we had considerable
difficulty in verifying the accura
CIV of the entries. In many in
j stances vouchers did not agre
with the entries made in the cas-
: book and the explanation given t
us in respect of these entries gen
erallv was to the effect that partia
payments had previously bee
L made on account and the balanc
paid by check for which was OF
e tanned. As these payments wer
= mainly for salaries of officials W
y satisfied ourselves that no sum
i we're paid in excess of the salarie
due. In several instances wher
payments were made for supplies

In order to arrive at the actual

der review it will be noted on re-
ference to Exhibit "B" that the
outstanding accounts receivable
have been taken into account. The
actual expenditure incurred for the
period is also arrived at after in

period and after allowance has

the outstanding accounts receiva-

for the Water and Light Plant we
found the records most unsatisfac-
tory. Owing to the incomplete
nature of the Consumers Register
it was impossible to ascertain
what sums were receivable for any
month from each consumer and as
no stub receipt book or duplicates
of bills delivered were kept no evil
dence was available whereby the
amounts recorded as receipts could
be checked. We also noticed an
apparent discrimination i'll the
charges to certain consumers as
compared with others and We would
strongly advise an investigation
into this with view to the insti-
ton of a thorough inspection of
the premises whereon water and
light is consumed and the main
tenance of a complete record of
the amount due monthly from the
consumers.
