CAL0MEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
CRASHES INTO SOUR BILE, MAX.
ING YOU SICK AND YOU LOSE
A DAYS WORK.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Cal
omel acts like dynamite on a sluggish
liver When calomel comes into con-
tdct with sour bile it crashes into it,
causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy. consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a 50-cent bottle
of DOdson'f Liver Tone, which is
harmless vegetable substitute for dan
gerous calomel. Take a spoonful and
if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max.
ing you sick, you just 90 back and get
your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and
ready for work or play. It's harmless
pleasant and safe to give 10 children /;
they like it.

REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE
Brunswick, Ga, Jan. 3, 1916.

~ hio WIN, va Jan. o. lO1Os
Hon. Mayor and Council:
Gentlemen-Your committee begs
to report that he floating indebtedness
or current deficit at the close of 1915
is SAB ,205.64 as against $37 ,0501S on
December 81, 1914 an incraese of Sc
1886 for the year.
Several causes contributed to this:
amongst them that of having to pur-
chase property at tax sales to the eX-
tent of LOO. which reduced cur cur
rent assets to that extent, besides pay
ing to the board of education and the
sinking fund their proportion of the
executions thus liquidated amounting
to about $500. representing in advance
untin the property owners redeemed
their property.
Another was sewerage extension and
repair OF approximately $500, which
we / i'd out of ycurrent funds rather
than disturb the reserve of some 49,
600 for that purpose in the hands of
the sinking fund commission We
could very properly have had this
amount refunded.
Again there was an extra appropria-
ton for the hospital of $500 after the
budget was announced Unforeseen
circumstances in the police depart
ment caused approximately 81 900 ex-
ira expense. Extra appropriations for
conventions and meetings in Bruins
wick. to the Board of Trade to assist
in the fight on rate discrimination
against Brunswick. and various other
appropriations increased the contin-
gent expense fund about $3.50 above
the budget estimate for these pur-
poses.
These. in connection with the reduc-
ton in the tax rate of 10 cents which
we thought feasible, and which re-
duced the revenue of the city for adj
ministra,ive purposes five cents in the
tax rate as compared with 1914, or
approximately in dollars and cents re-
duced to $4,000 are the principal rea-
sons for the increase.
The proportion of the tax rate allot-
ted to the sinking fund will enable the
commissioners to handle the redemp-
ton of the 100000 worth of bonds
| In 1921 without difficulty, and there
will therefore probably be no need of
an increase In the tax rate for that
purpose; so that unless the board of
education, which required 25c as
their proportion in 1915 should de-
mand an increase, the restoration of
the tax rate for administrative pur-
poses to that of last year Q.12 1-2)
will prevent n recurrence of this
years experience. That would mean
gross rate OF $1.75 AS a matter of
fact the city was operated in 1915 on
the lowest pro rata for administrative
purposes ($1.07 1-2) than any year du-
ring the past 20 years.
Your attention is invited to the re-
ports of the various committees and
officers giving full details as to re.
ceipts and expenditures,
Respectfully submitted, l.. Ludwig,
chairman; Claude Dart.

REPORT OF THE PUBLIC WORKS
COMMITTEE.

Brunswick, Ga. Jan. 3, 1916.
Hon. Mayor and Council:
Gentlemen-The operations in this
department covers public works and
buildings, cemeteries, parks and
squares; the sanitary branch being un.
der the supervision OF the health Off
GER, whose report covers the details
of that department.
The report of the city engineer gives
in detail what we have accomplished
the past year. We did not deem it
advisable for financial reasons to UNI
dertake any extensive permanent i'm
provements, combining the expendi-
lures principally to maintenance of
buildings and keeping our roads and
avenues in good condition.
We have been as economical as pos
sible, and yet made considerable i'm
provements to which your attention is
invited in the report of the city en-
giReer. Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF HOSPITAL AND CHAR.
TiY COMMITTEE.

Brunswick, Ca, Jan. 5, 1916.
Hon. Mayor and Council:
Conference.-The standing commit
tee ON hospital and charity begs to
submit the following report:
Hospital
Owing to the fact that the county
commissioners cut their appropriation
to the hospital this year, it became
necessary for council to make spe-
cial appropriation of $500 in addition
to the So, 400 allowed in the budget.
The expiration of the term fire in
surance on the building occurring this
year required an additional expendi-
ture of SS40 in premiums. For these
reasons the expenses were about ST.
600 in excess of our estimate.
Charity.
The expenditures in this department
as shown~hy the clerks report are
about $3.50 less than the appropria-
ton. This is due to the activity of
the chairman of your committee. and
owing TO his absence from the city at
tie time OF the presentation of this
report, your committee has no hesitan.
cy in calling your attention to this
fact He has undertaken almost en-
lirely the burdens of this committee
aud his managed the department as
The Brunswick news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1906-2016, 1916-05-02

AT the same time the chairman adj
mits that the extra tax levy by the
county was due to the expense at.
tached to this office. This being the
fact, there is no sound reason why the
county commissioners should not con.
tinue to assist in defraying the ex-
pense of so valuable an Institution and
i hope you gentlemen will see fit to
use every influence on The board of
county commissioners in an effort TO
have them continue their appropria-
tion.
In conclusion | wish 10 say that the
same practice of economy in the ad.
ministration of the citys affairs
should exist, and the general welfare
of the city's interest should at all
times be paramount to all other in
terest. | feel sure, with the same
spirit of cooperation amongst you as
formerly has existed, we will be able
to make a splendid showing Of the
city's affairs at the next annual meet
ing.
thank you one and all for your
courtesy during the year and for the
able manner in which you have han
died all questions of importance
brought to your attention.
Respectfully submitted,

Mayor.

Hon. Mayor and Councils
Gentlemen-The take and revenues
committee hegs at this time to call
particular attention TO the beneficial
results OF the change in the method
of assessment of city property as is
apparent by the report of the city as.
SCISSOR.
Heretofore three assessors devoted
less than 60 days time to the matter
of assessing the city property and sub.
seouently three euualizers were at
work for part of 80 days in reviewing
these assessments and hearing com
plants II any were lodged. Necessar-
lily neither body could in such limit
ed time make personal canvass of the
city and interview all the property
owners. With this 'all the year round"
officer of city assessor. the taxpayer
is brought into personal contact with
him and il appears from his report
that he has been able to euualize Ger.

amount Of $50 $50; TO reduce the as
sessment by 20 percent horizontally

" from the amount voluntarily given
in by the owners, and yet has been
able TO increase the taxable values
$lS9,750, principally property not here
tOfore returned for taxation but plac-
ed on the books through his diligence.
Under the former system the board
OF assessors cost. per annum, 1925
the board Of equaliZers. $3.50; extra
clerical help in clerks and treasurer's
offices during certain periods is now
rendered by the city assessor, SI25; a
total Of 81 900.
The salary of the consolidated office
of assessOrand collector is 81 500. an
increase of $500, which is more than
offset as follows:
The net increase in returns volun-
tarily made of 1925. and property
heretofore never assessed, of S116.455,
amounts to $189,750, less reduction
made by assessor on real estate of
$780, $50. G59, makes S100,111.
Net increased values which at the

years experience as a basis it is con
fidently expected that the assessor
will be able to get uniform return of
all classes of personally and assess
it on a basis that will agreeably sur
prise the property owners, and still
put very perceptible increase on the
tax digest.
Respectfully. L. Ludwig, chairman

REPORT OF FIRE AND BUILDING
PERMITS COMMITTEE.
Brunswick, Ca, Jan. 3, 1916.
III. Mayor and Council.

brunswick, Ga, Jan. ., 1916.
Hon. Mayor and Council:
Gentlemen-Your standing commit
tee on fire and building permits begs
to report that the expenses of this de-
partment for the past years are about
1875 less than the budget appropria-
ton.
The first full years operation with
motor apparatus demonstrated beyond
question the wisdom of the change.
We had anticipated that the saving
would be from 81 200 to $1,000 per
annum, and therefore had reduced the
budget appropriation that sum from
the usual amount of the budget i'll past
years, and your committee is much
gratified in reporting that the depart
ment has been kept in splendid shape
and has been operated at so much less
expense than was anticipated.
The report of the fire chief shows a
handsome saving of property threat
ened with fire which is largely due to
the fact that on numerous occasions
chemicals instead of water was used.
We wish to recommend an early pur
chase of two tires to be kept in re-
serve and beg to say that the city
authorities and the public at large
have every reason to be proud of our
fire department.

Among the most important and at
tractiye photoplays of the season is
"Undine,' spectacular production,
inspired by the fairy tale of the same
title, which is the attraction at the
Majestic theatre today The pro-
ducer, Henry Otto, found that the
scenario submitted by Walter Woods
did not follow the written tale very
closely. a fact that was greatly to
the advantage of the screen produc-
tion, for the original story could not
well be exactly translated to pic
lures.
There is enough of the tale appro-
priated, however, to keep the theme
intact Director Otto took his large
company, headed by Ida Schnall, VINO
plays Undine. to the Catalina islands,
California, where beautiful and nat
ural settings of forest seashore and
ocean were at hand 10 provide scenes
for some wonderful photography.
The incidents in the realm Of
Queen linda will be found particu-
larly attractive. There are score
of maidens. clad mostly in seaweed
when they are not encased in ma
ture's bathing SUITS disporting them
selves in the sea and upon the sands.
Fancy swimming and divins feats
are among the "close-ups," the most
sensational plunge being made by
Miss Schnall, who precipitates her
self into the sea from a measured
height of $50 feet.
