 The following report will be submit ted to the city council at its next meet ing:
 To the Honorable Mayor and City
 Council of the City of Conway, Ar
 kansas:
 We, the undersigned members of your finance committee, have this day completed checking the books of the superintendent of the city light and water plants, and find that Supt. F. V. Leverett has collected for lights and power since our last report August, 1912) the snrn of $22,669.S3; that he has issued warrants, duly counter signed by the chairman of the light and water committee, on this fund to the amount of $22,657.72 ($4,25O of which was transferred to the construc- tion fund for remodeling plant.
 He has collected from water con- sumers since taking charge of the sys- tenn in October last $1 1,338.50 and has received from the waterworks com $500, making total of ST. S3S.30 in this fund. He has issued warrants against this fund to the amount of $1 ,45604.
 We find the construction fund charged with $4,250 transferred from the light plant fund, and $2,599.92 re- ceived on time warrant issued by the council for this purpose. He has drawn warrants against this fund to the amount of $6,711.12.
 He has on deposit in the banks of the city to the credit of the various funds the sum of S533.15, as follows: Light plant fund, $12.10; water fund, $382.26; construction fund, $13S.79, making a total of $532.15.
 This shows a considerable increase over former years in the amount of business done, and we think that MT. Leverett deserves special praise for the capable manner in which he has handled both the mechanical and the business ends of the business with the very little assistance which the light and water committee could find time to give him.
 A detailed report of the receipts and expenditures for this period will be submitted to the council by MT. Levefett.

Deposits and Credit

This bank has always made it rule to lend money to live farmers who are really making an honest effort to get ahead in the world. Thousands of our country's most successful farmers have dated their finan- cial success from the help they secured at this bank. This bank has always con- sidered that it was a public institution and such that it owed debt to the county as we'll as to the men whose investment made it possible.
 We are proud of our record. Our county has made wonderful advancement in recent years and we feel justified in taking at least some of the credit. There is no de. nying the value of the assistance that an accommodating bank renders commun- ity. But we can't lend to every one, no matter how good the security. We must take care of our depositors first. So you see readily that the best way, to place yourself in line for financial help is to be- come depositor at this bank. You will find it pleasure to transact your bus mess here.
