CITY GOVERNMENT AND CITY CREDIT

The character of the city govern
ment is to have its effect upon city
bonds and city credit.
Cities are becoming great borrowers.
They find they can have the i'm
provements they need and desire to
Keep themselves in line with other
progressive cities by borrowing money
cheap. Municipal bonds are good
securities. offer long time investments
and have been eagerly sought by
tlna rCiers who have other peoples
money to invest safely at long terms
upon thoroughly safe securities. So
the figures of 1916 show that the cities

4 well governed city which insists on
business administration of its interests

city is to be like any borrower AT any

Such are the conclusions Of the In

THE JANUARY THAW.
q ~ slGIk4 u1k.d cabhe6 Mg

The January thaw is a dispense
ton of providence which catches the
,rnwary tourist twelve miles from q
set Of non-skid chains. It - one Of
those quick actlng dispensattons which
cause men who do not believe In re-
ligion to secure a new and unbiased
idea OF what Is awaiting the UNI
repentamt.
In the chilly steam heated latitude
of the northern states the month OF
january was intended in the flrst
place to show how far down the mer-
curry in a SO thermometer could go
without striking bottom. 1t Is entirely
out of place for January to warm up
SO that people can SO without overlap
ping underwear and astrakhan socks,
but every once In while this happens
and everything begins to thaw out ex-
cept the hard coal market. One Of
the worst things the people OF the
north have to put up with is a two
faced January which starts nuts, like
an antarctic ice foe, and then tries to
ruin the clothing business by SPRING
ing a thaw which makes the Lincoln
Highway look like half finished
sewer contract
The January thaw is always accom-
panied by the sharp. sudden and spas
modic influenza, which causes the
possessor to regret that he was not
born ON desert island in the south
seas, where the moist pocket handker-
chief and the Initiating sneeze are I'M
known. 1t is also accompanied by an
ocular demonstration of the fact that
there is no bottom to a dirt road this
side of the great wall of China. Many

ed with the duty Of legislating for
great state. He could think Of nothing
but politics and political machines.
Pitt is undoubtedly good neighbor
and a decent man but hts ideas OF pol
i.ics are those Of thirty years ago.
Speaker Pitt kept on the side where

was much OF the same nature. except
