The Last Ray of Sunshine.
A ray of sunshine dropped one day,
From the heavens beyond the sky,
And found its way, midst frolic and
play,
Into the arms Of mother nigh.
1t grew to love it's foster home,
Twas daylight even when night would
fall.
The family never knew to roam,
When sunshine danced all through the
hall.
Its presence made hearts grow fond
and true,
And dried the tears of an aching heart,
Kept from the mind things that others
do.
Yes, it Joined souls that ne'er would
part.
But that day came when an angel
spake,
And whispered to the cheerful friend,
"Listen, come not, for ties to break,
But join in happiness to the end"
The angels mission was finished; all
was we'll.
1t carried the last ray of sunshine
away,
Yet the gladness, and sadness, no
tongue can tell,
But Jesus is sunshine; he'll come in
today.

and borrow the money This indebt-
edness carried only Al per cent, and
to liquidate tive had to go and borrow
the money and pay per cent on what
we borrowed. You would hardly call
this sound finance. But that isn'tall.
The interest on the school bonds last
year, as you can easily figure, was 81
$50. 90. Half of this, 81, l25. 90, was pay
able July and the other 81, 125. 90 JAN
uary l of this year. Council made
provision for the 81, 125.00 due July
of last year butagain refused to include
in its budget the 81, 1876 90 due January
of this year, simply because it cOuldn't
be paid till January 2. We went to
the bank and borrowed this amount
also at 5 per cent. That is, we had to
discharge interest on borrowed money
by borrowing, and then we had to pay
interest on that interest.
Here is a sum of 50, 625 90 then which
in all equity and justice should have
been included in last years tax rate.
If it were it would have added eleven
cents more. If you consult your tax
bill you will see that we are making
provision for those items this year.
AS result of the methods just indi-
Gated we find ourselves today face to
face with a floating Indebtedness of
$50, 10000, as stated above. Heretofore
no plan has ever been evolved to pay
this off. The legislature however came
to the rescue last winter and made it
compulsory for us to fund this debt.
After deducting the uncollected taxes
for the last two years we must issue
bonds for the rest-something over
$28, 100000. These bonds will also bear
interest at per cent. We feel that
we can hardly compete with the U. S.
Liberty Bonds at pc 1t will take US
therefore about eighteen years to pay
off these bonds, and if anyone during
that time feels disposed to find fault
with the tax rate just let him remember
that he is doing penance for past sins.

On January 1, 1918, the City of Lam
bertville will have bonded indebted
ness of SIS, 000-$47, 900 school bonds
and $28, 900 floating Indebtedness bonds
bearing interest at d pc. This means
that Sc, 600 will have to be raised next
yeBr to meet the principal and interest
due on these bonds. To state it another
way, 25 cents of our tax rate will have
to be devoted to that purpose. Another
matter, Mr.. Taxpayer, over which we
have no control.
By law passed in 1918 the legisla-
ture ordered every taxing district In the
state to have tax map made. Under
the terms of the statute this map had
to be completed not later than April l,
1915, otherwise the state had authority
to step in and prepare one for as at our
expense. This law was never discover
ed by US it appears till last year when
council let out the contract to the city
surveyor. Work was not begun on the
map however until after the commits

done on this hill for a period of ten
years. If we had spent $3.50 year on
this roadway during those ten years we
believe it would have been in good shape
today and we would not have felt the
outlay. A street is like anything else
and needs constant care and attention
if we want to keep it in any kind of
condition. We think it is mighty poor
economy to spend big lot of money or
be fixed all over again. 1t is for that

ever it has been given fair trial and
there is no reason why it won't work
out just as well with u.s.
We regret very much, Mr.. taxpayer,
that your rate is so high this year but,
as you must realize we are entirely
helpless in the matter. The cost of city
housekeeping has advanced just as the
cost of running your own household has
advanced. We could expect no less
with the price of wages, materials and
everything we need so high. And then,
as we have shown above, we have to
battle with conditions which we had
nothing to do in bringing about. We
could of course have lowered the rate
and borrowed from the bank to make
up the deficit but we hardly think that
that meets with the approval of the
man of sound business sense any longer.
We would much rather deal honestly by
you for then we are sure to gain your
confidence and if we win that we are
bound to have your sympathy as well as
your wholehearted cooperation in the
work that We are trying to do. All we
ask is little forbearance and little
patience and we believe we can assure
you that all things will go well for
Lambertville and its people.

CHURCHILL DEMANDS
QUICK CAMPAIGN
Urges Aggressive Action On the Sea
Against Germany.

London, June 27.-W Winston Spen
Ger Churchill. in an article in the
Sunday Pictorial, demands an aggres,
sive policy for the vast surplus fleet
under the entente allies, especially
since Americas entrysinto the war
"The allied navies," he declared
'have at least two dreadnaughts for
every one at the disposal Of Austria
and Germany and in addition more
than four old battleships to one for
the enemy But the superiority in
weight Of metal, modernity and
tonnage is far greater even than
these immense figures imply. Are
we really to be content to see this
vast mass of about 200 battleships
wait idle on the off chance of the
German fleet emerging to fight un-
ill perhaps an unsatisfactory
peaee-s declared?
"When three old battleships were
sunk in the DardanelIes it was repre-
sented as a great naval disaster. but
what kind Of a disaster would il be
when on the day peace Is signed hun
dreds Of battleships are found to
have been virtually unused and pass
into obsolescence to be supplanted IN
future wars by airplanes and subma-
sines?
1T is only when we are able to de.
wise and execute some method of ag-
gressive naval warfare against the
German that we shall find his weak
ness and out strength; that we shall
liberate our splendid navy from the
enchanted circle the submarine has
drawn about and compel our enemies
to absorb themselves so much in the
process Of their own defense as to
leave them no leisure to encompass
our ruin"
