SOME FACTS ABOUT CITY
 WORTH REMEMBERING

The last city council spent SCs.ts7 It received s57.49e. That means tha it spent 5000 more than its income The extra money came from balance of $i5.000 which had been left ove' from previous council.
 The present council for the first three months has spent sf6,613. Il must be remembered. however. that this council had to pay some of the school expenses incurred by the pre- cedlng council. These left over ex. penses amounted to. roughly. 5000 This council also spent more than 5000 for the repairs on the school building. If the last council had paid all its bills the balance which had been left-ffteen thousand dollars--in April 1912 would have been reduced tO q. 900. If 1t had repa fred the school building instead of leaving it to the present council that balance of t1s.- 900 would have been just completely wiped away and spent by the last council in addition to the revenue of the city for the year.
