supply.
There should be a warm and
dry place during the winter
months for our equipment to
insure the safety of property.
CARNEGIE LIBRARY
One Of the best institutions in
our midst is our library and the
council should take a great inter-
est. This institution is especial
ly valuable in connection with
our public school.
Electric lights replaced the old
gas plant which failed to work
last year. Miss Shannon is en-
titled to credit for the manner in
which she handles affairs.
CIVIC PROGRESS
One Of the greatest steps for
ward was the passing Of the open
saloon from our city. During my
administration | have had the
pleasurer Of seeing 'wiskey vot-
ed out and water voted in.
The Commercial Club should
meet with hearty support from
the city council for the reason
that the business men Of our city
pay a large per cent Of our taxes.
The budget system is now being
tried out here for the first time
and should not be criticised until
given a fair trial.
Testing mich cows to insure
against diseases to patrons using
the milk is a step in. the right
direction to eliminate the cause
of sickness.
The Grant County Stock as
ISOLATION was organized during
the past season and the same
should receive the encourage
ment Of the city council. This
association will encourage the
raising of more and better stock
and naturally will be a good thing
for Milbank.
Thirty residences were built
last season and as many more un-
der construction or will be soon
speaks well for the progress of
our city as a place for schools
and churches. The several bust
ness blocks under course of con-
struction shows the healthy con-
dition of general business.
Sending our boys to enlist at
the call of the president of the
United States shows our loyalty
to the flag and country.
FUTURE BETTERMENT
If not out of place at this time
gentlemen, l would suggest that
city council encourage the build
lngs of cement curbs and cutters
in the resident districts. Look
at other cities of our size and
you will notice the beautiful
lawns extending to those curbs
and a finished appearance which
is lacking in Milbank. Our citi-
zens seem to be willing to spend
money but lack the spirit of
spending money to beautify their
lawns.
There should be a more recipro
cal feeling between our retired
citizens and our business citizens,
All of us are equal within our city
or in the vicinity. The farmers
of this territory are no more or
less than Milbank citizens living
farther out and should have the
same mutual interest. Quit
thinking you or your money bet
ter. We will never put Milbank
where it belongs until citizens in
Mllbank and out of Milbank re-
clprocate. You catalog fends, /
will wager you saved less than
500 on that stuff you sent for
last season. Would you not give
that profit to have a Bigger and
Better Milbank?" Think this
over friends and boost for Mil
bank before it is too late.

was on hand with the right kind of
literature, not only for baby but
for baby papa and mamma, and all
of babv's other possessions, for
baby has a place in literature and
art as we'll as in practical life-a
place that even the best of US can
not fill, no matter how filling we
may be. Some hundreds of excel
lent pamphlets pertaining to baby
welfare were given out free Of cost,

ANNUAL REPORT OF MAYOR
THOMPSON TO THE COUNCIL

ANNUAL REPORT OF MAYOR
THOMPSON TO THE COUNCIL
To the honorable city council,
city of Milbank.
In compliance with your cus
tom and the laws of our state |
submit to you this report Of at
fairs of this city.
FINANCES
The financial report of the city
auditor and the city treasurer
will show you in detail that your
collection Of taxes and other in
comes have been carefully ex-
pended. One of the most expen-
sive items is the amount expend-
ed for the filtration plant. This
amount will be replaced when
the bonds have been sold for this
purpose.
TAXATION
The total amount levied for
the past season was $4,000 and
the total amount Of assessed pro-
perty was naer the $4,000, 900
mark. The amount raised ten
years ago was $500 while the
value Of taxable property was
4O0,424. You will notice that the
expenses have doubled while the
taxable property has increased
seven times.
The excellent condition Of the
streets is very noticible indeed;
made by the continual use Of the
road drag after each rainy spell.
We're it not for this drag the ruts
would 500 hold the water and
ruin our streets forever. The
abuttment under the south end
Of the bridge across the Wheat
stone river which was put there
last spring at the cost Of more
than $500 was a splendid piece of
work and should meet with the
approval of all citizens.
SIDEWALKS
While one woman saw fit to
sue the city last year owing to
a small break in a crossing is no
sign that our walks are in bad
condition; just the reverse. A
few places should have your i'm
mediate attention as to repairs;
the rest of the walks will aver
age with any city of this size
near.
The many crossings built dur
ing the past season is a credid to
the councilmen. The few re.
naming wood walks that are left
should be ordered replaced with
cement at once without excep.
ton.
WATERWORKS
The erection of the filtration
station is the greatest undertak.
ing for the pure water supply
ever begun in this city. When
completed it will prove to oul
citizens that no matter what cor
dition of the water before the
fltering process, can be made as
pure and wholesome as spring
water. My greatest regret il
leaving this office before the
completion of the filtration
plant. ] would recommend the
erection of a storage tank for the
raw water unless you conclude t.
do your own pumping of raw
water; in that ease you coulc
start and stop your pump at will
The revenue at present is con
siderable more than the outlay
therefore. the present system i:
a dividend paying institution but
the water is unfit for domestic
use. For this reason the council
was compelled to erect the ftra
ton plant.
CL w EnO
The present sewers are toe
small during the heaviest rainfall
and the careful use of them must
be considered. Run all the sur.
face water possible over the tor
in open bitches. A relief was
made last season at the viaduc1
where the overflow of the sewer
could 60 directly into the rive,
without going through the scep
tic tank. No doubt this gave
partial relief to the crowded
sewer.
275 feet of new sewer has beer
ordered for the south end of vi.

0OABD OF HEALTH
+, The citizens will never appreci-
ate the good work given by this
body Of men during the last year.
Cleaning up the alleys and keep
ing them clean seems to be an i'm
possibility: as soon as once clean
Cd citizens begin throwing ashes
and rubbish in the alleys contrary
70 our ordinances. would sur-
gest the removal Of all fences
along the alleys 50 that this filth
may be seen from the street.

all in their power outside Of oct

this will prove > success.

DOUBLE WAR TAX
BLOW TO TRADE
MOTOR CAR MAKERS WILL SUE
FER If FIVE PER CENT
ADDED.
WILL |NJURE FARMERS
Automobile Becomes Less Luxury Each
Year-FOrty Percent of Cars Now Are
Used by Farmers-TaX Would Effect
Many Auxiliary Makers.

While placing themselves strongly on
record in their desire to pay their full
and fair proportion of the governments
expenses with taxes as applied to all
industries, the manufacturers of auto
mobiles are naturally opposed to any
double tax, such as that suggested by
committees in congress involving an
additional tax Of percent on the price
Of automobiles and trucks.
AS 40 percent Of the automobiles are
now used by farmers, and many others
by doctors, statesmen and others for
business purposes, the automobile can
not be considered primarily an article
of luxury.
1t is declared that the proposed fed.
eral tax would be a double tax on motor
car making, and, of course, would af-
feet the industry most seriously, par.
ticularly the small makers.
Very few of the $50 manufacturers in
the trade are making to exceed II per
cent profit on their turnover. A per-
cent tax on sales would take five
twelfths of the profit, or 41.6 percent.
In many cases it would take all of the
profits Of some Of the companies and
in cases Of others would involve a loss.
The proposed tax would cripple a bust
ness in which are interested 45O com.
plete vehicle makers, 1000 manufac.
turers Of bodies, parts and acces-
sories, 25,924 dealers, thousands Of
garage owners and $500 exclusive sup.
ply houses throughout the country.
Probably no other article Of manu-
facture 50 generally affects other in.
dustries. It's production requires large
quantities Of such materials as Steel
copper brass, aluminium, leather. wool
paint, cotton, wool, curled hair, rubber
glass, etc, and the labor Of scores OF
skilled workmen in various trades.

Proper Food for Weak stomachs.

The proper iood for one man may be
all wrong for another Every one
should adopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t is
also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel duh
and stupid after eating, they should
take Chamberlain's Tablets to
strengthen the stomach and move the
bowels. They are easy to take and
pleasant in effect.
