cRENsHaw DISCUSSES FINANCES
New Special Council Committee Re-
grcss Lack OF Time for Intelligent
Work and Adjourns Sine Die.

gagged in hy every member OF the
committee and the city auditor, the
special council committee TO inquire
into the financial condition OF the
city government last night on motion
az Councilman Edgar r. English, ad
jourued sine die.
The committee was called by Al
derman Christian for the purpose Of
organization. and to outline pro-
gram Of procedure. ON motion of
Councilman Moore, Alderman Chris
tian was chosen chairman.
Owing largely TO the fact that the
present council expires on September
!. members of the committee felt, aft
ter considerable discussion, that the
subject embraced too many features
to permit intelligent action within the
period of the life of the present coun-
Gil. and II was determined to report
hack TO council next Monday night
that the idea Of the suggestion Of the
formation Of such n committee, ema =
mating from Alderman Christian, was
a good one and that il might he fol-
lowed out upon the reorEa niZation OF
council in September.
Assets Moro Than Liabilities.
Auditor Crenshaw discussed In m ost
entertaining and instructive manner
the financial condition OF the city. re-
plying to many questions from mem
hers of the committee. He said that
while the city had a floating debt of
100000 facing 1t and bond issue
of nm equal amount 10 meet there
was no real emergency. although any
city that spends more than It's cur
rent revenue faces something of an
emergency. Richmond's debt, how
ever, is offset by tho fact that ii owns
its public utilities. and it assets are
far in excess of it's liza bihties.
The auditor referred 10 the high
financial standing of the city and sug~
gested that all bond issues should be
disposed OF through local hanks, The
local banks, said Mr.. CrenShaw. are
as much interested in the welfare OF
the city as are the councilman and
other city officials, and they should
are contemplated.
During the discussion the auditor
suggested that there were many
sources from which revenue might be
derived, such as tax on the use OF
alleys, suhterranesn vaults and coal
cellars beneath sidewalks. showcases
lieved that a revenue of something
like 100000 year might be derived
from these sources.
Suggested Rctrcnchment
He suggested also that retrench
ment might he effected in the juvenile
court and in the employment bureau.
and that the expenditures incident to
the conduct of the Virginia hospita!
and Pine Camp were necessary ex-
penses.
Auditor Crenshaw said the i'm
provement of streets should be looked
upon as the greatest asset the city
had. and that such work should be
prosecuted as fullys as possible at all
times.
1t was incidentally mentioned that
the amount of money necessary to
meet the proposed ten per cent in
crease in wages, as recommended by
III finance committee. will be but
$1O1. 600 and not $l05.000. as Was

Very Successful

The operetta, The Windmills Of
Holland" the annual offering Of the
Junior class Of Fargo college, was
given last evening in the gymnasium
Of the college and was greeted by a
large audience.
AS the name suggests, the COS
tunes and settings of the operetta
were true to the Holland atmosphere.
In addition To the main numbers of
the operetta, d number Of chorus
selections and dance numbers were
given and were well received. Special
praise is deserved by Bliss Pitcher,
who yesterday was called upon to
take the part Of David Jones, who
was called to join his draft incre-
ment. Suddenly Mr.. Pitcher took
the part very successfully. The
work Of Hswison Pollock as Hans
and the duet ny Doris Tillotson as
"HiIda" and John Bacher as Franz"
Is also deserving or special mention.

LOVE SHALL LIGHT THE WAY

Dream little dream of love some
times,
Don't fret and toll all day;
Some cash in hands a splendid thing,
But love must light the way.
Throughout the changing years let S
leave
Some trace of love and song,
And count it we'll if we achieve
Some joy as we go long.
Dream a little dream of love, my
friend,
Somewhere along your way;
Treading lovelit path through life
You cannot go astray.
So when the fever and the fret
Darken the clouds above
Into the troubled moments let
One little ray of love.
Dream a little dream of love and then
When life is near the close
In the cool and shades of evening
love
Will blossom as a rose,
And round the dreamer's heart shall
fall
A radiance of cheer,
For love will triumph over all.
If we but dream it here.
