CITY BUDGET S167, 500
TAX $40 PER CAPITA
Play Ground Item Passed.
Street Deficiency Increased
to $9.77l

AS a result of the meeting of the tax
payers in the council chambers at the
city hall last night, $500 was included
in the cIry Duuget to provide for play
grounds for the children. This sum was
added to the budget item "incidental
expenses of the city" and brought it
up to $5,6l9. One call for a bridge was
made at the meeting.
Councilman Jones, who has fOstered
the playground movement, precipitated
the discussion by moving that $500 be
taken from item % and made item
70 10 When Councilman Cook, who
has opposed the Fairgrounds as not
needed, voiced his opposition, Council
man Jones dramatically waved Il peti.
ton which he said had the names OF
1000 citizens who favored the play
grounds. He declared there was no OBJ
lection to it..
George Rodgers appeared as friend
of the Fairgrounds. Attorney Brown,
who was there to ask for n bridge, de-
clared the taxpayers money was being
spent for all kinds of useless frills.
Councilman McClelland was opposed to
the appropriation because he said the
children could be earning money instead
of spending their time playing. He
| said last year Councilman Jones asked
$3.50, this year $500, and next year it
would he a $1,000
Councilman Ward and Mayor White
both spoke in favor of the Fairgrounds.
On the vote it was found that six were
for and five against the Fairgrounds.
Bridge and Street Funds Shy.
The item of $l6,099 for the fire de-
/ partment came up for discussion when
it was proposed to buy chassis for the
mounting of the chemical engine, which
is now drawn by horses. 1t was de-
cided, regarding the sale of the horses.
to let the matter go until the new equip.
ment was tried out
Regarding the appropriation of $4,000
! for the building of bridges for the next
year, Councilman Cook, chairman of the
street committee, stated the amount was
not sufficient to carry on the work.
! This was because the South Commercial
street bridge would probably have to
be rebuilt within the next year. He
said bridges We're needed on North
I Winter street over Mill creek and on
south Twenty-first street. Attorney
Brown asked for a bridge over South
Capital street and Councilman Mills sug.
gested that the remainder of the Incl.
dental expense fund above $4,000 be
/ transferred to the street fund deficiency
50 as to provide for the bridge asked for
/ by Mr.. Brown. The suggestion was
made a motion and carried. leaving the
street fund deficiency $9,771 instead of
1880.
The item of clerk hire was cut from
Sl,740 to l,040 because it was thought
that sum was too much for the work
necessary to be done. Later, on mo,
ton of Mayor White the sum was re-
stored to $l,740 because in the period
of activity clerk had been hired the
year round.
With the playground item included
the budget for 1917 now stands AT $l67,

big for me to handle. got something
to risk and then rlsked it. l risked
it again and again. After ten years
and plus interest and did. l sent the
check to the little bank back home.
waited two months for the answer and
then 1t came; my check torn across
and short letter saying that the loss
had already been met by bankers
surety association. wrote the asso-
citation n dozen letters and some OF
them took some writing. In the last
l offered fourfold the theft. There had
been plenty of Bible in my bringing
up. They wrote back thnt 1t was no
use-that could keep on climbing in
peace but 1t was their business to jail
me for fifteen years the first chance
they got and they'd do 1t the minute 1
set foot where they could grab me.
"That letter frightened me. I be-
gan to realize that what I'd been work
ing for wasn't money, or honor. or
rehabilitation but just the right to go
back-the right to go back home.
Nobody had been harder on me
than my old man. For years nobody
in the house was allowed to say my
name and il he saw a letter from me
he threw 1t in the fire, opened or un-
opened. But somehow 1t got to him
that had offered to pay fourfold and
that I'd been refused and that turned
him. It was the fourfold that did 1t
the divine and sacred measure of JUS
tice. He started to fight for me as
hard as he'd ever fought against. And
then he died and my old mother died.
Letters stopped. My brothers and sis
ters were coming up in the world.
They couldn't afford to own thief
much less fight for him. So the letters
stopped.

house in Pernambuco that was won

with all your might, the color of the
paper on the walls of home. the lay
Of the wood pile, of the sheds and the
tumbling barn and stables. the holes
in the fence, the friendly limbs of ap-
pie trees and the smell of hay; when
you've been coddling bare memories
of simple things like those for fifteen
years, you can't turn around on your
inside self and forget.
There's a flag the sight of which
makes my heart come up into my
throat and tears to my eyes. You
