the police. The weapons used are

SOME FACTS ABOUT CITY
 WORTH REMEMBERING

The last city council spent $66,4S7. It received $57,496. That means that it spent 5000 more than its income. The extra money came from a balance of $15.000 which had been left over from a previous council.
 The present council for the first three months has spent $16,51s. 1t must be remembered. however. that this council had to pay some of the school expenses incurred by the pre-. ceding council. These left over ex" penses amounted to. roughly. $s.000. This council also spent more than $4,O00 for the repairs on the school building. If the last council had paid all it's bills the balance which had been left-flfteen thousand dollars-in April 1912 would have been reduced to $4,000. If it had repaired the school building instead of leaving 1t to the present council that balance of $15.- GOO would have been just completely wiped away and spent by the last council in addition to the revenue of the city for the year. Where did it go?
