A large number of cities in Iowa
are face to face with a perplexing
financial problem. How will they
raise money to pay running expens-
es after the mulct law repeal makes
the city "dry" on January 1 and
they are deprived of the saloon IL
cense fee, heretofore the principal
source of revenue? This problem,
however, is not causing any loss of
sleep in Waterloo. This city has
been "dry' before and has taken
care of the situation. 1t can do SO
again.-Waterloo Courier.
A prominent citizen OF Waterloo
who was in Webster City short
time ago said the people of his town
expected to go to the city manager
form Of government next year and
they believed that better manage
ment of municipal affairs would
save enough money to compensate in
large measure for the loss of the sa-
loon tax.
