these old records will be brought out OF

cost the former administration during

Explanation Of Increases.
Larger expenditures. By ALMOST 3d.

police. and salaries OF officers-mayor
and eouncilmen-explain most Of the
increase insthe general fund. The In
crease in the streets and s.lleys depart
ment was $2.759. In the police de-
partn1ent 1t vas $967.0e. In both these
departments more men nave been en-
ployed than were employed last year.
The council took advantage Of the new
state law, allowing them to increase
their salaries July 4, AMI raised their
pay, making an increase Of 1875.
Other large increases are water
works department, $6.742; electric
lighting. s1,498; grading. $3.s54; and
fire sinking. $7,s35.
Where the Money Went.
much larger amount Of water
mains extensions has been put in this
year than last, which explains most Of
the increase in the water works de-
partment expenditures. The cost OF
lighting the additional electroliers ex-
plains part of the increase in the elec-
trio lighting department. The pur-
chase Of lots for the North Third
avenue boulevard project, and the
grading Of the Denmead Bros addi-
tion, tells where the larger sum in the
grading fund went
A new fire station on the south side
represents most Of the $7,S35 in the
fire sinking fund.
There have been a few decreases.
The sewer fund shows a decrease,
owing to less sewers being laid this
year than last The bond fund sales
shows decrease. but the old admin.
istration retired $4,000 worth of bonds
in 1912, explaining the decrease in that
fund.

Increase in Christmas Business
Makes it Necessary to Have
Additional Help.

The Webster City post Office, in
order to handle the increased busi-
ness during the few days before
Christmas, have decided to place
two clerks on duty in each depart
ment. This will mean an added con-
venience to patrons and will be ap-
preciated, as there is always an
enormous rush the few days before
Christmas, and it will be worse this
year on account of the parcel post.
1t is reported that the parcel post
is getting the smaller packages
which used to be sent by express.
The express companies at first sent
word to their agents that they
would not try to compete with the
parcel post, but the agents have
since received word that a sweep
ing reduction would be made shortly
after the first of the year The par
eel post carry practically all the
smaller packages and after the first
of January it will be possible to
send as high as fifty pound packages
short distances. And for the longer
distances, a person may send twenty
pounds instead of eleven, which has
previously been the regulation.
