EXPENDITURES ARE SCORED

ARE
At the meeting of business mon in the
Commercial club rooms Monday the
spending of the city's money for some
of the large extra items was roundly
scored. Some Of the merchants declared
that 1t was an outrage to saddle an
additional $4,000 on the taxpayers, and
then, with an increase of over 100000
In the grand list, leave the tax rate at
S.15 again this year. They were in favor
OF not trying to pay for all the extras"
this year and urged Mayor Burke to
recommend a reduction in the rate. The
merchants took exception particularly to
the purchase Of the automobile for the
police department. Mayor Burke stated
that he had never been in favor of the
purchase of the automobile and that If
the order had not been in before he be-
came mayor he never would rave APP
proved of 1t. He said that the police de-
partment now wants new uniforms for
some Of the specials and other
paraphornalia which would cost in the
nclghborhood OF 5000 for each man.
Here are some cold facts furnished by
City Treasurer l.. e. Grant concerning
the tax rate:
\ tax rate of $I.75 would raise 1928, S13.76
ia meet expenses of 1922, HIP. the net
amount to he provided for in the budget.
OF this $S2S.S1376. It is estimated that
the sun of about $4,000 must be deducted
for tax attachments which cannot be col
lccted. This means that the tax rate of
S175 would really raise $325,Sl3.75. leav-
ing a leeway of $3,G26.6 3 to meet extra
expenses.
\ tax rate of $40 would raise s319,-
i19.oS and from the latter amount the
5000 for attachments must also be
deducted.
a tax rate Of $1.G5 would raise 5000, 1853
and from this amount the uncollected
taxes would have to be taken also.
city Treasurer Grant figures that a tax
rate Of 81. Go would mean a shortage in funds
at the end of the year OF about 100000,
besides the additional so,394G5 State tax
on the grand list which comes next year.
And this is not allowing for unexpected
expenses which the city may have to
meet in the way Of law suits, etc, be-
fore the year Is over.
1t is claimed that the argument Of a
lower tax rate was used at Montpelier
TO get through the bill abollshing offsets.
Now the merchants are protesting that
with an additional s.. 10000 to the grand
list, the tax rate should certainly not
remain at the $l.75 mark.
According to Mr.. Grant. the increase
In the grand list increases the city's
funds about $1,000, figured at one per
cent. on the total amount of the grand
list. This increase just about takes care
Of extra expense and without the in
crease In the grand list this year the
tax rate would have been about $3.50 be-
cause of the additional money that has
been appropriated. If offsets had not
been abolished the city would have had
about $4,000 less with which to do bust
ness.
THE CITY BUDGET.
The budget this year shows that the
net amount to be provided for by tax
is 49,. The estimated receipts
amount to s107, 994.S3 and expenses are put
at S43O,l7l.95. This latter amount, as
stated previously, is about $3.50 larger
than last year because of the additional
money appropriated for extras. Here is

While climbing very steep hill which

to stop or go forward. 1t wouldn't

at his brake. Nothing seemed to

speed. Mr.. Hane did not stop, look
nor listen for a landing, but leaped
straight into the darkness. He hit

counter between Senator Reed OF Mis-
souri,, member Of the investigating
committee, and John Mcintyre, said

lntyre in the face, accompanying his
action with an emphatic statement as
to the falsity Of certain allegations
contained in an affidavit which Me-
lntyre was supposed to have in his
possession and which is said to bear
on Senator Reeds action in not put
ting on the witness stand one of the
men subpoenaed during the lobby in
quiry.
Tonight Senator Reed declined to
confirm or deny the story.
You don't see any scratches on
me-" he said.

RELIGIOUS CENSUS OF MAN.
MING.

Manning. Oct. 3.-Under the CO.
operative direction of the Methodist,
Baptist and Presbyterian pastors of
Manning canvass of the town has
Just been completed and a sort of
religious census made for the purpose
of ascertaining their religious status
OF the town. Each church was asked
to furnish Is or 20 people, men and
women for the canvass, and these
were formed into committees. The
town was divided into sections and
two OF three workers were assigned to
each section. Cards were given out
on which the following questions were
printed Name? Faith or denomina-
ton? Membership where? If not a
member. which church preferred? Do
You attend Sabbath school? Ages of
all under 21?
The prupoes of the canvass was to
bring the churches together i'm q
united effort to influence the whole
town and to give each pastor and
church the necessary information on
which to base future efforts in bring
ing every man, woman and child
into warm fellowship and close
touch with the church and Sabbath
school. The spirit of unity which al
ready exists among the members of
the various churches is thought to
have been considerably strengthened
and deepened b. this united effort.
While the census was only made in
the town, it is hoped that at an early
date 1t will be extended throughout
Clarendon county.
As result OF this house to house
canvass the following facts have been
ascertained: Members of Protestant
churches 473. pupils of the Sabbath
schools 513, preference expressed by
non-members over II years OF age
of the Protestant churches 92: chill
dren under 12 years not yet members
Of a church 1893; members with letters
unplaoed Is. Jews. children and
adults. AS; Catholics. children and
adults. IL. This gives ~ grand total
/ OF 916. which il practically tie white

ANOTHER DELAY IN THAW CASE.
Time will be Granted for Attorney
General to Investigate

Concord, n. H., Oct. 5.-The New
York State authorities have asked
Governor Felker to postpone for
time his decision in the matter of the
eXtraditiOn from New Hampshire of
Harry X. Thaw. The governor tonight
said he probably would grant the re-
quest. He asked that it be submitted
in writing.
AS the governor understands the
situation, this move of the New York
authorities is taken in view Of the in
vestigation to be made into the case
by Attorney General Carmody.
Governor Felker said he had re-
ceived from William Travers Jerome
a certified copy Of the indictment re-
turned against Thaw by the Duchess
County grand jury, and subsequently
withdrawn; also an affidavit by Dis
trict Attorney Conger, of Dutchess
County, that no indictment against
Thaw in that county now exists.
Harry Thaw quietly spent the day
at his hotel, where he was visited by
his sister, Mrs. Geoffrey G.. Whitney.
After her departure Thaw issued a
long statement, in which he again re-
viewed rumors as to new legal pro-
ceedings in New York.
"As l am sane" the statement said
lis l. not fact that every person
concerned in an effort to take me
back to Matteawan is guilty of Grim
inal conspiracy to imprison n sane
man in Il hospital for the insane?"

Conformation OF Rebels Defeat
Comes From Military Governor or

Mexico City, Oct. 5.-Government
officiaIs regard the federal successes
during the past week as "a death
blow" to the organized revolution in
the north. The defeat of the rebels
at Santa Rosalia appears to be con
firmed. Advices from Gen. Samuel
E. Mercado. military governor of the
State OF Chihuahua. describe the re-
suit of a rOut of the enemy. The
town was recaptured, according to
the governor. who added 1.-The victory
Is OF great Importance because the
trains by which the enemy expected
to reatreat have been captured as we'll
rs large quantities of war material. E"
Several thousand men were said TO
be engaged at Santa Rosalia and
lighting had been in progress since
Thursday.
This victory, together with the oc-
cupation by Gen. Mas of Sabinas,
has greatly encouraged war depart
ment officials.
Gen. Trucy Aubert, with 1000 men
marching to the relief of Torreon,
has reached MADEIRA, about 100 miles
east of TorreOn, but is making slow
headway, owing to the necessity of
repairing the railroad. 1t is reported
the rebels virtually have abandoned
the Torreon district.
Gen. Alvarez Is said to be prepar-
ing an expedition to march Oh Du-
range, which for months has been in
possession Of the rebels.

FOR
DEEP BREATHING

The following rules for deep breath
ing will be found beneficial;
Let the clothing be as loose and
light and clean and the air as fresh
as possible.
Breathe in through the nose until
this has become habit even during
sleep; great exertion may demand
some breathing in through the mouth
and an occasional gulp of pure air
(for example, at the seaside) is valu
able.
Attend to the correct position of
the body with regard to spine, neck,
etc.
To lie at first on ones back on
the floor will keep the organs in a
better position. Some prefer an in
clined plank, as 1t draws the shout
deis further back and does not bring
too much blood to the head.
Make use Of odd moments, espe-
cially just after waking. just before
bedtime. on going out into the fresh
air and while waiting. This is regu-
larity not Of time, but Of occasion
a far more important regularity. AS
an example Of regularity Of occasion,
blow your nose directly you awake
even before you wash your teeth;
breathe quietly, but deeply, after
meals; breathe fully and then relax
before, during ana after a crisis-e.
g., an examination. or visit to the
dentist.
