PARENTAL MEETING
AND DANCE PARTY

A large number of parents, teach
ers and students in the eighth grade
and high school, were present at
the Parental Meeting in the Lincoln
building Friday night. A short must
cal and literary program was render
ed between the hours Of eight and
nine O'Clock, consisting first of
short talk by the President, George
K Gibson, followed by a song by the
High School Glee Club, which con-
sists of sixteen young men. This
club surprised their parents and
friends in the excellent singing they
rendered. This Glee Club is certain
ly a great credit to our school sys-
tenn and an adjunct worthy of cor.
dial encouragement. They were hear
| tily encored and graciOuSly respond
ed. We were all specially proud Of
their singing. Boys keep it up.
| Miss Sitter, the popular teacher,
and elecIhionist, rendered two selec-
tons from Kipling, faultlessly, and
| in her sweet, charming manner, that
always wins for her the heartiest ap-
| plause.
Miss Weeks then rendered two
sweet songs in her easy and grace
| full manner, that always pleases. She
was accompanied on the piano by
| Miss Gibson. This ended the progral
and all repaired to the Witter build
| ing where Saecker's fivepiece or
chestra were furnishing excellent
music. It took but a few minutes
when the floor was thronged by hap
by lot of young people who had anti
cipated this opportunity, for a long
| time Parents, teachers and stu
dents all mingled together in dance,
like one big family, which it was.
Nothing could be any more appropri-
ate and commendable than this so
cial affair. We were glad to see
so many of the mothers there so that
they could see and judge for them
selves what the Parental Association
have in mind, when they permit a
social to occur The hall had been
beautified for the occasion by suita-
BILE draperies, streamers, etc. The
doings closed promptly at eleven o.
clock and every one left the first So

DOES THE WATER
SYSTEM PAY?

The many different statements
made, the figures submitted and the
ARGUMENTS advanced as to why the
water department shows an 'over-
draft" do not seem to convince. TAX
ing the figures given by different
interested persons and one is left
with a very confused idea of what
to believe In an article signed by
the Mayor, he conveys the infCrma-
ton that if the city had paid the
water department for hydrant rent
ais, schools, etc, the total would have
amounted to $98,100 for the last
eighteen years. The city engineer
in an article recently published con
Ueys the information that the mo-
ney, had itjbeen paid i'm for hydrants
amounted to $50, 700. There is a
slight discrepancy between the fig
ures given by the two gentlemen a
mounting to $14,4G0 In a more re
cent article by the city engineer, he
says, THE article published was in
tended as an honest statement OF
facts and published for the benefit of
The people If the city. engineer
figures were IAN honest. statement"
are the citizens to understand that
the Mayors figures are not accurate
Further, the city engineer in his frs
article said, THE total income for
the last fiscal year was $9,206.56."
comparing this with the statement
made to the common council by the
uperintendent of the water works in
which the total receip pts for the fis-
cal year ending April 30, 1912" arr
given as $9,449.O6, a difference be
tween the two gentlemen of $242.5t
The report OF the superintendent
Of the water works to the common
council shows that the total disburse
ments for the fiscal year ending April
80, 1912 amounted to 7,340.02
In spite of all that has been writ
ten in defense of the water depart
ment, no one has as yet explained
why there was an overdraft of over
| $6S,029.65 or what that overdraft was
made up of The explanations Civ.

had paid hydrant rental, or had it

tfons at one of its last meetings re
garding this very subject. The city

the water consumed in public build
ings, schools, horse troughs, drink
ing fountains, etc. The Rate Com
mission is evidently trying to instII
some business system in municipal
bookkeeping.
Taking everything into constdera-
ion that has been said in defense
OF the financial condition Of the wa
ter department and you can not help
but arrive at the conclusion that it
has run behind. The engineers own
figures show that it ran behind
S1161 90 during the last fiscal year
1t does seem that the funds of
The city could be put to better use
right now than by tying them up in
the electric plant and the legal bat
Ties that viii follow the decision OF
The city to take that plant over. The
suggestion of the Tribune, that the
money could be used for the widen
ing Of streets, building a wider or
another bridge is a good suggestion.
Municipal ownership may be a good
thing when properly conducted but
wouldn't it be better for the city
authorities to show the people that
they. can operate what they already
have and come out even before at
tempting to carry a heavier load.

NAT'L
BANK NOW OPEN
FOR BUSINESS

The new Citizens National Bank
was formally opened Saturday, at 9
a. m. From hte time the doors
were thrown open, there has been a
steady stream of people coming and
going. Each person visiting the
bank was presented with a carna-
ton and those who cared to go thru
the bank were conducted thru by one
Of the officials. The Stacker or
chestra played during the afternoon
and evening.
The interior of the bank is ar
ranged tastefully and to facii tate
the conducting OF business. The
wood work is quarter sawed oak and
while devoid of characterization is
handsome AS you enter the bank
on the right you come first TO the
open space occupied by the Pres1-
dents desk, next to this is the cash
ier's desk. Next is the teuer's win
dow and further down the enclosed
space is the collection department,
the savings department and the book
keeping department. At the further
end of the lobby is the directors
room. The fire and burglar proof
safe is in a large vault back of the
bookkeeping department. This safe
is equipped with a triple time lock.
On the left side as you enter the
bank are a customers desk and set
tees. While this opening was a for
NAL one and more an exhibition than
ANYTHING else. business was conduct
ed as soon as the bank was opened
and the officers were kept busy all
day.
