A Rare Treat
In Photoplays

THE Love that Never Dies" is a
wonderful picture, both from the
standpoint of dramatic and photo
graphic art. And it is a great ad-
vantage that a city the size of Ash
land can secure such an entertain
ment at a popular price of 20 cents.
Were it not for the movies the cost
of production would be so great that
none of the smaller cities could ever
hope to witness so gorgeous produc-
ton.
Ashland is wonderfully fortunate
to have had public-spirited citizens
like the Winnings with enterprise
enough to risk their money in such
a splendid playhouse in a city this
size, and in having a manager with
such discriminating taste to select
the pieces for the entertainment of
our citizens.
Our people should show their ap-
probation of this enterprise in more
generous fashion than was displayed
in the crowd that witnessed THE
Love that Never Dies" Wednesday
night.
These rare treats are blessing to
this community. Do not leave the
entire burden of producing them on
the Winnings alone. They cannot and
will not bear it.

S. P. Advertising
Man In Ashland

R. F. Wilson, head of the general
advertising department of the South
ern Pacific, was in Ashland Wednes-
day going over springs exploitation
with Chairman Greer. Arrangements
were perfected whereby the springs
project will be carried in the early
advertising of the road, although it
cannot be handled in as positive man
ner as it could be if the bonds had
been sold and the work started. If
the bond matter is settled in the next
month and construction started more
definite advertising will go forward.
This was Mr. Wilson's first stop at
Ashland with the view of thorough
inspection. He was charmed with
her possibilities along tourist lines.
He says Ashland surely has a great
opportunity in carrying out the
project as proposed.

Dispute Over
City Finances

Councilman Cunningham called
attention at the last council meeting
to recent transfer of $1,266 from
the interest and bonds fund to the
general fund, upon showing made
by Councilman Ware, based upon his
| investigation of that fund for 1913.
Mr., Cunningham insisted there was
sufficient balance of interest and
bond money in 1912 turned over to
the general fund to meet the amount
transferred.
Mr.. Ware explained that while the
charter required that an annual re-
port be gotten out early each year for
previous year, this had not been done
for either 1912 or 1913. In the alb
sence of such reports no adequate
information was accessible to coun-
cilmen or citizens as to the city's
finances. In the absence of such an
nual report he had dug out the data
for the general fund for 1913, and
the accuracy of the figures was I'M
challenged. Based upon 1913 figures
and in the absence of any for 1912,
the transfer was necessary and
proper.
He urged the finance committee
investigate the general fund for 1912
before the council made any further
corrections; and upon a report by
such committee corrections be made
as would make the books right and
enable councilmen and others to
know the facts relating to the city's
finanes.
Councilman Cunningham insisted
upon changing the recorders books
without ascertaining further facts.
and was supported in his contention
by Councilmen Ashcraft and Werth;
while Councilmen Beaver and Cor
nelius voted with Mr.. Ware, and the
mayor did likewise, so that Mr.. Cum
ningham's motion was tabled and the
finance committee Cunningham,
Ware and AshcrafD were instructed
to examine the general fund for 1919
and report to the council as soon as
practicable.
The entire matter would have been
unnecessary, and ample facts ready
of access, if the recorder had followed
the requirements of the charter by
issuing and publishing the city's
financial annual report for 1912 and
likewise for 1913 as required and fire.
quently has been urged.
The fact that weeks ago the chair
man of the finance committee and the
recorder were instructed to get out
the annual report for 1913, by the
council, and have as yet failed to do
so, throws additional light upon the
differences that appear to exist be-
tween certain members of the coun-

Burial Lot Prices
Are Increased

Councilman Cunningham brought
up the matter of the burial lot prices
at the last council meeting. The pres
ent prices are S. lot. This refers
to Mountain View cemetery. The
sums derived from the sale of lots go
to make up the cemetery fund, which
is used for beautifying the grounds.
This fund, according to Mr.. Cunning
ham, has not been growing, when so
small price is charged for the lot,
for the incidental expenses have eaten
all the capital up, leaving nothing for
the work of beautifying the place.
Without much discussion this matter
was referred to the cemetery commit
tee.
The total number buried to date
in the Mountain View grounds is 295.

Ice Plant Manager
Puts in a Claim

The ice plant management, through
Recorder Gillette, presented at the
last council meeting a claim for $72
damage done to belts by reason Of
the improper equipment of the city.
This in regard to the circuit breaker.
The one owned at present accommo-
dates only $500 volts, according to
Councilman Beaver, who presented
the matter in the absence of Mr.. But
terfield, while one with capacity
of 4 900 volts is needed. The man
ager of the ice plant stated that dur
ing the heavy thunder storms the cur
rent you'd be switched off at the
power plant by the inadequate circuit
breaker, thereby stopping the ma
chinery. Then when the shock of
the electrical storm was over the cur
rent was turned on again so quick
that the pulley spun inside the belt
before 1t could get under way, and
thus burned them badly. The bill
presented was for belts damaged in
this manner. Mr.. Beaver stated that
Mr.. Butterfield wanted a new circuit
breaker and that this could be pro-
cured at cost of $62 plus freight,
and the company take back the old
breaker AS Mr.. Butterfield was alb
sent and the matter could not be ex-
planned sufficiently, 1t was left for
further investigation.
