City Finances
Being Compiled

Councilman ]. B. Ware has COM
pleted a compilation of the city funds
for 1913 and is working on the ex-
penditures for the six months period
of 1914. No financial report has
been made public for the past year
and as a result the city fathers have
been somewhat at sea regarding esti-
mates for expenditures from the gen
eral fund particularly. When the
compiled figures for expenditures for
the six months of 1914 are made and
comparison with former years, the
councilmen will be able to tell
where they are at"
The city recorders books have
been found correct in every particu-
lar and the deposits in the local
banks show the accounts to be ac-
cording to the books.
Discussing the forfeiture of prop
erty for improvement assessments in
the city of Ashland before the coun-
Gil Tuesday night Councilman Ware
stated that the street talk along this
line was wholly out of plumb with
the real facts. The facts are-ac-
cording to Mr.. Ware-that not more
than four pieces OF property will be
forfeited to the city in lieu Of the
payment of assessments. Asked fol
definite statement of the gist oi
his remarks in regard to the meet
ing of their payments by the people
Mr.. Ware wrote out the following:
THE delinquent tax list upor
street, sewer and sidewalk improve
ments turned over to the sheriff Jan
uary first, 1913, amounted to $12,
SS7.90. There has been paid b.
, property owners $80S1, leavin
$4SO6 yet unpaid, as follows: Ban
croft, first payments, S160S.O6
full taxes, $319S.43. Thus, of tn
total improvements for which $204,

issued, all the first payment (1913
but $1602 has been paid, over eight
= per cent of the delinquents on tha
payment being paid. This is certain

Mr.. Wares remarks were occa
stoned by the report of special com
s mittee appointed to look into tn
D matter of property about to be fol
feited and arrange for the city t
take it over at once and thus sto
the accumulation of taxes. The re

lyiOtiierS Tell OF
Mothers Friend

Experience - or should be our best
teacher. Women who have obeyed the
highest and nobIest of all sacrifices. the
struggle for the life OF others. should
have a better idea of helpful influence
than those who theorize from observation.
At any rate when a prospective grand
mother urges her daughter to do as she
did-to use Mothers Friend there Is
reason to believe 1t the right advice
Mothers Friend is an external ap-
plication for expectant mothers. Its pur-
pose Is TO furnish pliancy to the muscles,
to take away the strain on the cords and
ligaments. to relieve the tension Of nerves
and tendons so apt TO provoke or ag-
gravate nausea, morning sickness, witch
ings of the limbs and SO on.
Although in the nature Of things. a
woman would use Mothers Friend" but
but rarely yet so effective has II been
found that this splendid remedy is on sale
in most drug stores throughout the
United States. It has been prepared by
Bradheld Regulator Co. 400 Lamar Bldg,
Atlanta. Ga and advertised by US for
over forty years This ia a fine record
for such special remedy and the CRATE
full letters received to-day are just as
appreciative as were those of years ago
notwithstanding that methods are sup
posed to have greatly advanced. Ask at
the drug store for a bottle OF Mother 9
Friend" It is worth while.

REPORT OF THE
CLEANUP WEEK
WASPRESENTED
STREET BY STREET, THE BOY
SCOUT COMMITTEES HAVE
CLOSELY EXAMINED PREMISES
AND RESUME WAS FILED AT
THE CITY HALL.

Filed at the office of Fire and Po-
lice Commissioner POu yesterday was
the record showing the work of the
boy scouts in the cleanup campaign.
Leech of the Y. NJ. c. A. and it show
ed how really active the little in
spectors" had been in the past few
days
Two more days OF the cleanup
campaign yet remain, and it is strong
Iy urged that everybody appoint them
selves a committee of one to see to
it that their own premises are clean,
and to notify the city If there are I'M
clean or unsightly streets anywhere.
Street by street, north and south,
east and west, the scouts went care
fully into the work, and out of sew
eral hundred places examined. there
were found liz premises which called
for some little criticism. No names
Of occupants were mentioned, but
every home or yard criticized was
noted by the number of the house and
the street name. The city was criti-
cized to some extent on account of
some bad looking streets, while prem
ises were severely criticized wherever
such was needed. Following such re
port. a recommendation was inserted,
such as premises at-Bad. Needs at
tention.
Two UnfavorabIe Criticisms.
Two espe Cially serious spots in the
western parts OF the city were d.
legged and reported upon. One Of these
reads as follows:
mo. 1908 West Belmont street is
vacant The yard was cleaned by
some of the boys of school No. 43. but
the house was so filthy that the teach
err refused to let them clean out the
house. fearing disease. Because of the
fearful condition of this house, the
health authorities should take some
steps toward having it cleaned
Another report, which seems serious
enough to at least call for investl-
cation, reads as follows:
The citizens of West Hill report
that the distillery located at the head
of the Bayou is a regular mosquito in
cubator. The refuse is cast into the
Bayou where it forms a sort of mud
and gives off a foul odor. The man
ager of the distillery is Mr.. Sprinkle.
call your attention to this because
a child died in the vicinity of the
distillery last year from mosquito
bites If proof is desired on this point
shall be glad to furnish the desired
evidence. The issue a stake is not the
closing down of the distilIery but re
curing the management to provide
for the proper disposal of the refuse
which becomes a menace to the COM
munity."
