81 zoo. 900 a year.
Tho city therefore leyies in the
tar budget for that amount. Nc
one kicks against that The mayor
and the council all agree this
should be done.
but tho trouble ia that the city
cannot collect the taxes In time Ia
get this money.
Taxes are paid IN two installments
by the taxpayers. Tho last Install
ment Ia not due TIL December. and
even then some people fail TO pay.
| Therefore. when the bond re.
Exemptions and interest fall due in
July. the city hasn't enough money
collected out OF the taxes 10 pay
up.
II must get the money some other
way. then.
In the past. the city borrowed
from some other city fund. paying
back as soon rs the tar money
came in. This cannot be done now
on account OF the Renick law.
which prohibits transferring money
from one fund 10 another, even
Temporarily.
The city has It's choice. then. OF
these courses;
% To 90 into the open mar
ket next year and borrow
enough money TO pay bond re-
demptlons and Interest.
az To 60 on a warrant basis
when the money falls due. This
means the city Issues warrants
instead Of paying cash. These
warrants bear Interest. The
banks may take them like
checks. II they want to, or else
they may cash them after max
Ing q certain discount Or else
they may refuse to accept them
at all--snd then, OF course, the
city 10 In the hole. When the
city collects it's full amount OF
taxes, IL then calls In the war
rants and redeems them with
cash, paying the accrued In
tercst
az Levy enough so that
there will be sufficient TO pay
the amount due In July without
going out and borrowing the
money or going on a warrant
basis.
The majority OF the council want
10 adopt the third method. So they
have added $227 900 TO the $780,.
600 for interest and bond redemp-
lions. by adding this amount. there
Will be enough tax collections by
July to meet all the needed pay
ments.
The mayor and the minority of
the council want to adopt either OF
the first two methods.
The majority OF the council argue
that II their plan Ia adopted this
once. the city would then always
be on solid financial basis In this
respect.
For. after the full amount OF col.
loctions came In. the city would
have surplus OF approximately
1927 900.
Therefore. no extra or emery
ency" levy would be needed the
next year. or the next, or the next.
Always at the end OF the year,
the city would have this surplus TO
take care OF the next years In
terest' and redemptions.
The mayor and the minority OF
the council. however. urge a short
time loan each year, or else would
have the city so on warrant basis
each year
This would reduce the 1916 levy
and place the city in tho habit of
asking the bankers TO help IL out
each year--at sufficient interest. OF

In 1914, the city was again eco
nomIcal' and failed to provide In
the budget for the payment OF the
5000 900 that would fall due In July.
1915.
The bankers roared and kicked
and protested.
The brilliant" plan was then
evolved by which the money would
be obtained by still another loan.
A new series OF bonds was issued
to pay that particular 100000.
What a howl arose. tho
why didn't you put that money
into the tax levy instead OF Dor.
rowing again TO pay borrowed
money!" the council was asked.
SO the council majority this year
proposed to put It In the levy. and
not depend on the unwilling favors
OF tho bankers.
Another 100000 is due in July.
1918.
But Mayor ON and the minority
OF tho council say: Let's do what
we did last year. Let's borrow
moro money. Let's issue another
series OF bonds. Don't let us put
II In the tax budget. by keeping Il
out. we keep the tax levy down.

bond payment which the city
pays annually.

h
DEMAND FOR LUMBER
FROM NEWFOUNDLAND

St. Johns, N. F., Aug. 13.-The
lumber export trade from this colony
which has been almost non-existent
for the past few years, has been
brought into prominence again by
conditions growing out Of the war. A
great demand has developed in Great
Britain. not only for pit props for the
colleges. but for lumber for gen.
eral purposes. numbering concerns
throughout the island, whissa have
been operating entirely for the local
trade. have decided to go into the ex-
port business on an extended scale
The export of pit wood alone for the
year is estimated at 100000 tons. A
regular feet of steamers has been en-
gagged for several months in trans
porting this material from Newfound-
land and eastern Canada, the British
golfers having been unable to secure
their usual supply from Europe be-
cause Of the closing of the Baltic sea
and the timber requirements Of the
allied armies in France.
During the past 10 years most Of the
soft wood logs cut in the colony and
not needed for local construction have
been sent to the pulp mills for use in
the large paper making industry
which has grown up during that pc
riod.

GERMAN WOMEN
TO BENEFIT PoLIT-

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Berlin, Aug. IA woman Socialist dis
cusses in the Norwaerts the view held by
many of her sex in Germany that the
war will bring German women nearer the
goal of political equality. She says
We warn the people Of our party not
to cherish too many hopes, and to re-
member that every privilege which has
any value and brings US forward must
be won. The war has perhaps brought
us nearer to enfranch!sement in that the
opponents of female suffrage have been
deprived of many of their most service
able arguments, and, above all, because
the least interested woman must clearly
see how urgently women citizens need
political influence, which they can ex-
ercise only through the vote. The bare
fact that a war Of such tremendous eff
feet, such widespread dimensions, and
such painful losses in every beligerent
country could have come to pass, mus.
create in women-who are most deeply
affected-a resolve to cooperate in the
prevention of future wars.
After the war a struggle to, bring
about a reaGjustment of political power
will recommence. Women will take part
in it more than hitherto. because the ar
has taught them how. much the state
stands in need Of their responsible CO.
operation.
above all things we must now follow
and study attentively political events and
economic and social measures, for this

IBERIA has been received by Moscow
merchant from one of his correspondents
in a large town several hundred miles in
the interior OF Siberia. There are over
1900 prisoners now in this locality, he
states, and preparations are being made
for the reception of 10000 more.
The correspondent declares that the
lot of the prisoners is not bad one-they
are assisted to pass the time by the pro-
vision of various amusements and occu.
pations, and the daily routine of their ex-
istence is governed along moderate and
humane lines. The Germans are kept
separate from other nauonalities -.
From six o'clock in the morning until
at night" writes the correspondent.
the prisoners are allowed to do GYM
nastic exercises, to play games, to sing,
to play music. Gardening is also allowed
where it is possible.
THE prisoners get the same food as
Russian soldiers and all but the Ger
mans are allowed to work privately out
side.
The Germans are not allowed to go
out without a special permission, and
then an armed convoy accompanies them.
At the present time the germans are
working in construction camps. repair
ing roads. or loading and unloading
steamers. Five hundred Germans are
planting potatoes and cabbages for them
selves: ltO Germans are cutting timber
for firewood.
