One of the duties of the town mar
shal was to serve as dog catcher. One
ordinance said that all dogs found at
large without a collar showing that a
tax had been paid shall be captured
by the marshal and safely confined,
fed and watered in the pound for a
period of three days, if not sooner
or removed by the owner;
and no claimant shall be permitted to

COLUMBIA FINANCES
GOOD,SAYS W,D,SHAW
Chairman of Council Com
mittee Points to Betterment
in Recent Years.

Finances of the city of Columbia
show a low tax rate, no borrowed
money, $4,000 in the treasury and
that the city can go in the market and
buy its own bonds, not yet due, at
per cent premium and save money
TO the citizens. This is the statement
of Councilman W d. Shaw, chairman
of the finance committee.
The city tax rate has been reduced
in the last four years from S1.40 to
81: 80 cents now goes into the gen.
eral revenue fund and so cents into
the sinking fund. At present there is
abundant money in the general rev.
enue fund 10 meet this years expen-
ses. and another reduction to 90 cents
in the tax rate is expected. The cur
rent expenses of the city are increas-
ing, but not in proportion to the in
crease in the income.

Budget System Used.


The budget system was introduced
in 1914, and this years is the third.
Now the expense are listed under
twelve departments, and each chair
man sees that the amount allotted him
by the budget is not exceeded by his
departmental expenses. In this way
careful management on the part of the
chairmen has bettered the condition of
the City's finance over the old hap
hazard method of handling the money
! In 1912 the city owed $4,000 in cur
rent revenue bonds and endless bills,
many more than a year old. That
same year the city was forced to bor-
row $500 to meet these accounts
that were constantly coming due, and
some gain was made by using the
balance in the treasury. The next
year. 1913. only $4,000 had to be bor-
rOwed to keep the bills down, and this
amount was merely transferred from
the water and light fund and used
without interest. so that in 1914 the
$4,000 owed and the innumerable bills
were all paid off and the city account
was lin the clear" Since 1919 not
one dollar has been borrowed from
anyone nor will there be unless some
great emergency demands it. Careful
management has placed the finances
in good shape and Mr. Shaw hopes to
keep them there.
Water and Light Bonds Out.
Water and light bonds to the amount
of 100000 are yet outstanding, but
the city will take up $4,000 of these I!
which come due this year. The hold |
ers of the bonds refuse to allow them |
to be taken up until their maturity, |
which is 1920 and 1880: because of I
this Councilman Shaw said he was in |
favor of going in the market and |
buying these, even at a 2-per-cent
premium, and thereby save money.
The balance of $4,000 in the water
and light fund would be drawn on in
case these bonds were bought up.
W. ID. Shaw, chairman, f. B. Nc
DOnnell and Percy NJ. Klass constitute
the finance committee of the CITY
Council.

thing 10 that T. Nelson Metcalf, coach
OF h successful 1915 football team,
will coach the track team also. That
will be the limit Of Metcalf's sphere OF
