financially at the beginning OF the
new year. Not only Is there moro
money on hand at the present time
than has been in the city treasury
for some time, but more has been
paid on the city's Indebtedness than
has been taken care OF in many years.
At present the city has $230,00O de-
posted in the various banks in the
city together with $4,000 invested in
government bonds. Besides thia
amount to the city's credit 1927 900

Of tile fiscal year our collections have
been far greater than we expected
them to be. we estimated that for
the year the collections from this
department would amount to some,
thing like s25.OoO but up to the pres

fiscaI year. we have already collect
ed $4,000 in this department. This

All OF the other departments are
nearer on self-sustaining basis than
they have ever been before and city
officials and employees believes that
unlsss unforeseen circumstances in

will be made for the next year.
When asked If there was a probabIl.
ity Of a decrease in taxes SO far as
the city is concerned 1t was stated
that there would likely be a decrease
in taxes II no more bonds we're voted
for the coming year ''If bonds are
voted as it seems probable they viii
be, taxes can not be reduced as some
Of the salaries of the city employees
have been raised and these together
would naturally cause a slight raise
in the taxes. However, the valuation
on the real estate win be the same
this year as 1t was for the last year
and this together with the excellent
financial condition Of the city wouid
no doubt cause taxes to decrease Il
bonds were not voted" one official
said.

been. The interest on all outstanding

NIGHT IS
A SUCCESS
Main Stem Dark; Ideal TerriIOry for
''SlicA Up" Man; No Electric Signs.
Window Lights Or Clusters


Last night was Chickasha's second
''lightless night" 1t was a success.
The first one. inst Thursday night,
was a half hearted affair. There
were electric signs flashing up and
down the main stem and on certain
side streets as If there had never
been decree for a lightless night
gone forth.
Last night was different. About
the best place in town for the work
of "stick-up" man would have been
right on the main drag where u.s.
ually the lights from the show win.
dows make it yeritabIe white
way" There was not an electric
sign fIickering from the Rock Island
depot to the city hall and all the light
emanating from the show windows
would have Illuminated peanut
roasting establishment poorly. Even
the arc lights along the streets took
on sort Of sad expression as though
they too wanted to give couple OF
wiilks and cali 1t night. Indeed.
the guy who first thought OF this
lightless night business would have
been proud Of Chickasha last night
Mr. Shafer OF the Electric compa
ny, made = statement today relative
to the lightIess nights in which he
called attention to the fact that the
merchants here had not been obsery-
ing the nights that have been desig-
mated as ''lightless nights in the way
In which the fuel administration In
tended that It should be observed.
Il notice that In your article yum
did not make 1t as plain as It should
have been made that merchants are
not supposed to use any window
lights on these nights. OF course
this is really working against our IN
terests in asking that this should be
done but the fuel administration has
asked that this should be done and
we want to see that the order is OBJ
served as near as It is possible to
do so.
nThere are supposed to be no win
dow lights left on during Thursday
and Sunday nights. Also there are
supposed to be no cluster lights left
burning.
+While the Iightless night will
amount to very little in saving fuel as
this particular place, when we take
iuto consideration that a like amount
is being saved proportionateIy in ev-
cry other city, then we can begin to
realize the extent Of the savings that
will bs made. But after all ii iG said
the effect Of the hghtless night will

cred In two words: Nothing doing." "
There are two reasons for this.
First: Christmas week, when all the
workmen and owners who could do
SO, were away for few days rest.
Second: The cold weather has put
a decided crimp in anyone or any
thing that started "piddling" around
any Of the locations.
AT the Gladstone location, 400 yards
from the Fortuna gasser, in 1863,
the drillers made determined effort

hours and practically nothing was
