How About Municipal Re-
ports?

The new city administration has
been in authority here for several
months, and up to date no report
Of the city's financial condition has
been made. 1t had been under
stood that the new administration
was in favor of publishing monthly
reports Of the finances Of the city,
but no such reports have been
handed in to The Journal for pub
lication.
AS The Journal is now the official
gazette OF the city Of Leesburg, as
we'll as Of Lee county, there will be
no additional cost for the publica-
ton Of monthly reports Of the city
clerk and treasurer. Such reports
undoubtedly have their value. They
should be made, and are made, By
all carefully conducted municipal
governments, either monthly or
quarterly.
Why cannot the new administra-
ton take the people Of the city more
completely into its confidence and
publish monthly, or quarterly, a
complete statement of the finances
Of the city? 1t would serve to aid
both the city administration and the
people Of the city who pay taxes.
The Journal would be pleased to
give the best publicity to such re-
ports and this paper earnestly urges
that Mayor Tharp and the board of
aldermen arrange to have either a
monthly or quarterly report pub
lished regularly.

Europe for smelling. Last year the
United States imported several times
that amount of metallic Tin, ana
could absorb easily the whole Bs.
iivian OUTPUT.
There may be in this a special op-
portunity for Baltimore. Because Of
the war Bolivian tin ores should pe
es.sier to buy, and tha opening of tke
Panama canal decreases substan-
tally the expense of their shipment
to that city. Baltimore understands
the smelling business, and there IRE
large areas of waterfront well
adapted to the establishment of a
new industry of this character. Of
course, an undertaking Of this mag
nitude would demand the rost rigid
investigation, but it might well re-
pay the attention of Baltimore capi-
