Considerable improvement In Many
Lines and Much In Prospect for the
Second Year of Mayor Dedman's
Term In Office.

An investigation of the records at
the city hall for the past year disclos-
es some interesting figures In con-
nection with the first years admins
tration of Mayor Dedman. The con-
ditions show a most creditable rec
ord, and there is much in prospect
for the coming year that gives reas-
enable grounds for expectation Of
progressive steps during the year
1918.
For the year 1912 the budget aggre-
gated $55,782.94; the appropriations
were s54,77161, leaving a balance 70
the credit of the cash fund S1,011.33.

sources, including the balance on
hand to the credit of the city on jan
4, 1912, was $93,s63.O9, disbursements
for the yeear, $92,2SS.60, leaving a
balance to the credit of the city Jan.

cts of the city aggregate $129,S14.52.
Liabilities s9s,57S.15. Leaving a diff.
ference in favor of the city of $780,.

During the year there was de-
crease in the liabilities of the city

nix National Bank, $26,477.82; Maury
National Bank $33,49734; Columbi'

THIS Is THE RECORD MADE BY
MRS. H. r. FARiss, OF THIS
CITY.

The record of the lady who sold so
many eggs in Bedford county was
perhaps the hest of any county in
the state with the exception Of Maui

to stand against Maury.
Mrs. H. r. Fariss sold during the

To proceed with this ratio for q

titled that his company could not pos
sibly comply with the provisions Of
the law requiring two, able seamen
for each lifeboat. He believed that it
would be necessary to increase his
crew to proportions which would
make compliance impossible. But
Chairman Alexander and Representa-
tives Manahan and Burke pointed out
to him that the law would simply re-
quire him to change the character of
his crew and not increase it's numbers.
He would have to employ skilled men
instead of unskilled. Then Mr.. New
man said he could not get competent
deck men to fill places as watchmen,
porters and such positions. But Mr..
Manahan forced from him the admis-
sion that his deck men receive only
$50 a month and that other positions
on the ship are paid as much if not
more. Mr.. Newman told the COM
mittce he could not say how much
his men are paid, but promised to
furnish the information to the COM
mittee.

and cents. It is the old question of
human rights against property rights.
Not that the ship owners put it
that way. Far from it. 1T is a question
of commercial practicability,' said
Mr.. A. S. Gardner, vice president Of
the Fall River line Ca subsidiary of
the New Haven railroad) in answer to
sharp questioning by Representative
James NJ. Manahan of Minnesota, a
member Of the committee.
Not ''Ccmmercdally Practicable.''
Mr.. Gardner admitted that it was
desirable to have sufficient number
of iifebOats to accommodate the total
number of passengers and crew, but
he maintained that it was not "com-
mercially practicable to do so. He
admitted that it would be possible to
reduce the carrying capacity of pas
sengers for which it had lifeboat
equipment, Mr.. Manahan said:
The witness has stated that it is
possible to carry lifeboats upon every
vessel at sea sufficient to take care of
every passenger in case of accident.
and whether or not it should be en-
forced as a stern rule of law can only
be decided by the measure of the
profits and losses of the concern, and
that when he says it is commercially
impossible ne really means-though
he does not say it-that in every case
and in all cases it must be measured
by the profits of the concern
Could Not Remember One.
Mr.. Gardner stated as his opinion
that it would be disastrous to require
his line of boats to employ two skilled
seamen for each lifeboat carried,
for the reason that the crews of his
vessels had been thoroughly drilled in
lifeboat handling "for years and
years, and years." But when Mr..
Manahan pressed him to give the
name of single man on any boat on
his line who had been in the service
'for years, and years. and years." Mr..
Gardner could not remember a single
one, although he stated that he had
been in the company's service for
twenty years, starting at $14 weeM
and working up" to his present posi-
ton as vice president of the COM
pany.
What's He Kicking About.
Mr.. Gardner stated that his COM
pany provided sufficient life SAVING
equipment to take care of every pas
senger and member Of the crew al
though not required by the present law
to do so,' but it developed that on a
steamer like the commonwealth
part of this equipment consisted of
liferafts," and only part of '1ifeboats.' -
According to the testimony, this vessel
carries "a RATS and so lifeboats. But.
in answer to questions, Mr.. Gardner
admitted that as result of his ex-
perience he thought lifeboats are bet
ter lifesavers than liferafts.
And, therefore," said Mr.. Mana
han, you think that in so far as leg
islation can do it, it ought to provide
for the better lifesaver?'
II think so far as possible" adj
mitted Mr.. Gardner.

During the year IL states passed
new or strengthened old laws reouir-
