IS MILL LEVY FOR
GENERAL FUND
Collins Says It Will Not Make up
Loss in Revenue From the
b Tax on sa-
looms.
WILL BE $1,000 SHORT
Action Of Legislature Will Not Pro-
vide Proper Relief to
keokuk, Says the
Commissioner.

The allowance of levy of fifteen
mills for the general fund of the city,
as called for in the measure which
yesterday passed the house Of repre-.
sentatives, is not sufficient for the
needs Of this city, J. A. NJ. Collins,
superintendent Of finances for the
-eity, said this afternoon.
1.-THE measure, if it becomes a law
won't do US much good" Mr.. Collins
said. with a levy Of fifteen mills
for our general fund it would still fall
short about $1,000 a year of the
amount we must have for this fund
to meet the expenses of the city.
don't mean that it would be neces
sary for us to increase our total levy
any considerable amount, but that we
should be allowed to use some of the
money that goes into other funds for
the general fund"
Under the present law the city can
levy a tax of but ten mills for the
general fund. Much OF the revenue
of this fund, approximately one hall
of it, is made up of the money de-
rived from the tax on saloons. With
the saloons put out of business
the revenue for the general fund will
be cut practically in half with no re.
duction in the expenses Of this fund
Commissioner Collins estimated
that levy of eighteen mills for the
general fund would be sufficient for
the needs Of this city. He says the
best way to provide for this increase
in Keokuk is to increase the total
levy about two mills, this amount to
be put in the general fund, and take
the rest of the money needed for this
fund from other funds, practice now
prohibited by law.

The polite laborer explained. Then

To Keep Clear of Moths.

n THOROUGH beating. shaking and
~ brushing Of all articles likely to
attract moths is absolutely necessary
before putting away for any length of
time. Tobacco. camphor. tarred paper
OF cedar chips have no effect If the eggs
are already present in the cloth. If
the articles are quite free from eggs or
larvae when laid away. the odor from
any moth remedy will keep the moths
away. This odor. however. lessons with
age, so that the protection 1t affords is
greatly decreased after a long time.
Such remedies should be renewed every
year at least
Moths do not like to be disturbed, and
they do real damage only when left un-
disturbed for some little time. Air and
sunshine are the best and Oldest reme-
dies Apartments and closets that are
frequently aired and swept are not apt
to be seriously affected. Where circum-
stances demand that articles be put
away, convenient and effective device
Is to place them in large pasteboard
boxes such as tai1ors use. and gum q
strip Of wrapping paper around the edge
so as to seal up the box completely
and leave no cracks. If thoroughly
cleaned before being placed in these
boxes no additional protection is neces-
sary. and there is mono Of the objec-
tionable odor from the usual moth REM
