nave made an examination of the
books and accounts of the Municipal
Electric Light and Water Works
from June 30, 1913 to June 30, 1914.
and present herewith our report as
follows:
The books were thoroughly check
ed and all differences found adjusted
The Cash on Hand and Bank Balances
were found to agree with the amount
shown on the balance sheet.
The account against the city of Un-
ion carried in the Accounts Receiv
able Ledger has been transferred to
the General Ledger and made to ap-
pear as a separate item on the Bal
ance sheet. This account shows a
debit balance of $9,129.O2, nine thous-
and dollars of which represents a
charge for light and water service for
the past three years, based upon So
10000 per year. 1t is our opinion
that this charge barely covers the
cost of service and some arrange
ment should be made with the City
Council whereby this amount could be
llquidated together with the note of
$4,000 given by the city, January Is,
1912 and due June Is, 1912; this
would give you $11,129.O2 for exten-

ARE CHICAGO WOMEN THE BEST
DRESSERS? WE DON'T KNOW
New York, March 24.-Whether
the women of Chicago are the best
dressed women in the country is the
question raised by Mme.-- -Joire of
Paris. After visiting Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Chicago and Boston, and
spending considerable time in New
York exhibiting the spring and sum-,
mer gowns of Paquin, Nine. Joire in
an interview today appeared to be
most impressed with the appearance
of the Chicago women.
81 motored along Chicago's boule-
wards" said Nine. Joire, ''and was es-
pecially impressed by the large num-
Der of stylishly-attired women who
not only had good clothes, but knew
how to wear them In fact, noticed
that number of them, wearing Paris
modes on the avenue and in the even
ing, appeared even better in them
than many French women in Paris
wearing the, same styles"
In telling of the manner in which
the Partisan fashions were received in
the various cities, Nine. Joire said
Philadelphia women were quite sur
prised and the ''backless" gowns ap-
peared to brighten them.
Chicago and New York showed
great enthusiasm and even the ex-
IRENE models were liked" she said

RAID BY GERMAN FLEET CAUSES
 BRITISH RECRUITING TO JUMP

London. Dee. 17-The German naval raid on the east coast of England has had the effect of stimulating re- cruiting in the British Isles. The in crease in the number of men joining the colors today is attributed almost solely to this cause.
 / The raid is still being widely discuss ed. Other results from it are pre- parations at coast points for the pro- lection of the civilian population in case of further German attacks and the organization in London of a na- .tional guard for local defense.
 In the western arena of the war, especially in Flanders, the roles of the contending armies would appear today to have been completely re- versed.
 Official communications issued by both the allies and the Germans, re- fer to the allied offensive. Consequent- ly Germans are on the defensive. A British squadron is still standing off the coast and has aided the attack tn

PROF. TAFT AMUSED BY. REP. GARDENERS
 "JTNGO', LUTHERAN GEES

East Orange, N. J., Dec. 17-'tI was amused by the recent demand for an investigation of the coast defenses of this country, said former President William H. Taft in an address before the woman's' club here last night. The fnvesti- gation is the thing needed the least. All the information that any investigators might want now is to be found on file in the shape of reports to Congress If you want to conceal any fact you could not do it better than to put it into the Soffi-ia1 reports to Congress he added.
 MT. Taft thought that although the state of war in Europe made the probability of an attack upon this nation more remote than it had been for years, the present widespread discussion of the na- tional preparedness for possible war would prove valuable in drawing the attention of the peo- pie to certain of our military needs. He urged keeping the navy up to high standard and the addition of about 25 per cent. to the strength of the army so that in. particular we might have men enough to man the coast defenses properly. He also argued for a stronger militia.
