MUNICIPAL REVENUES
AND EXPENDITURES.
Some Interesting Figures Gathered by
Government Experts.

A special bulletin on revenues, ex.
penditures and public properties of mu.
inequalities having Il population of $500
and over, relating to the fiscal year
1913, compiled under the supervision of
the bureau of the census, department
of commerce, shows, for the United
States as n whole, municipal receipts
of $2,139,244,Jo5, municipal expendi.
lures of 81, 1876, 1861 and a total value
of municipal properties amounting to
$4,3ST, or 2i.
AS might be expected, the greatest
municipal receipts and expenditures
were those of New York city, $685.
$4,000 and 1923, 10000, respectively;
Chicago stood second, with $100,S27.-
coo and Sic, 900. respectively. and
Philadelphia was third, with $63,741,-
600 and 500, $3.50, 900, respectively.
To obtain n true idea of the relative
cost Of conducting municipal business
in different cities the comparison must
be made on the basis of total and Dor
capita revenue receipts and "gov-
ornamental cost payments" Revenue
receipts comprise the amounts receiv-
ed for the use of municipalities. They
are derived from taxes, special assess
mcnts for street improvements and the
like, license charges, fines and for
fcits, interest and rents, subvcntions
and grants from the federal, state or
county governments, donations and
gifts from all sources, fees and charges
for services performed, earnings of
public service enterprises. etc. Gov
ernmental cost payments are made up
of ordinary running expenses, eX-
penses of public service enterprises, in.
terest ard OUTLAWS, not offset by re-
ceipts, for permanent improvements.
The total revenue receipts and total
government cost payments of munich
palitles Of 1900 and over throughout
the United States in 1913 were 81, 10S,-
$1,000 and S1,2lG,G37 900, respective
ly, and the corresponding per capita
figures were $24.26 and $2T20, re-
spectively. The general tendency ot
municipalities to live beyond their
means is indicated by the difference of
over $13S,000o00, or more than So per
capita, between their revenue receipts
and their governmental cost payments.
In fact, in only seven STATESMEN
Hampshire. Rhode Island, Indiana, ILL
nois, South Dakota, Utah and Wy
oming-and the District of Columbia
were the revenue receipts of the mu-
taken as u group in each
state, in excess of their governmental
cost payments.

MILLIONAIRE GOLF CLUBS
Initiation Fees of $1,000 at Detroit
Are Not Considered Exorbitant.

Small wonder that fabulous sums
are spent on golf links of the West,
ii many of the clubs of that section
have the same experiences as the
Country Club of Detroit and the De-
troit club, says the Boston Tran
script First, be it known, that the
Detroit Golf club---in no way related
TO the club which held the national
amateur championships in the pro-
cess of developing two 1S-hole cours-
es, on property which cost, in round
figures 100000. The Country club
of Detroit purchased its present prop
erty for 100000 and has spent $780,
600, in getting present results, includ
ing the finest fair green to be found
anywhere in the world, or so say
some of the golfers who have played
on the worlds leading courses.
Expenditures of nearly 100000
sounds almost extravagant, until 1t is
learned that when the Country club
of Detroit moved from the site of its
former course to its present, 1t dis
posed of great part of its old hold
ings for approximately the sum that
the new land and its developments
represent. But that is not the whole
story The clubhouse of the Country
Club of Detroit is considerable dis
lance from the new course, with a
wonderful attractive location on the
shore of Lake st. Clair. The proper
ty along this lake front has increased
in value by leaps and bounds, so that
if the club decided to move its house
to the links, it could sell its lake
front site for about 100000, perhaps
developing millionaires about as fast
as city like New York develops pau
pers along with it's millionaires, and
one of the natural outlets for their
wealth and social aspirations is TO
own an estate near the lake.
The financial problem of the De
troit Golf club is being solved in a
different manner from that of the
Country club of Detroit, yet about as
effective. The club purchased enough
land to allow not only for its 1S-hole
course, DuJ LOT HOuSStSuUS all
around the property. Building re-
strictions provide for minimum out
lay on these houses, understood to be
$4,000, and provide, further, that all
houses must face the links. These
building lots have been selling so
fast that there is not the slightest
doubt about the unqualified success
OF the plan
Membership in either the Country |
Club of Detroit or the Detroit Golf |
club means a fee of $1,000 for initial !
ion, which is not in the least exorbi-
tant considering the pro rata wealth |
involved in the clubs holdings. The |
membership limit of each club is 500
so it is understood. What the De-
troit Golf Club is doing now, building
two 1S.hole courses, may in time be
done at the Country Club of Detroit,
for its holdings are large enough to
give ample room for such extension.
That time is likely to be long way |

off. for the reason that only about
one-flth of the members are real de-
voices of golf. The Detroit Golf
club. on the other hand, is essentially
golf club.
There are five golf clubs with golf
courses in the Detroit environs. The
writer was surprised to learn, also,
that there was a golf course in De
troit at least twenty years ago. 1t
was a private course of nine holes on
the estate formerly owned by Sena-
tor Mcmillan and it was located
about two blocks from the present
course of the Country Club of De
troit.

The home dressrnaker who fears that
she will not be able to do justice to the
straps may retain pockets and omit
straps by cutting OFF the front edge of

The corded silks are go much in de-
