MONEY ALL ACCOUNTED FOR

A dream of buried treasure" wild
flights of an overburdened magma
ton. so designates Commissioner
WATSON the report the city reeks with
the possession of some 10000
money that might be used for fire
mems salaries.
There is no $4,000 tucked away
either, where the city can use it or
where they can not use il. II there
had been any such sum in existence
il would have been the purpose of the
commissioners to arrange for its use
in the budgets for 1919, which were
in all instances cut much below the
amounts asked for in order that the
city might continue to operate under
the burdens caused by advances in ex
penses due to rises in the cost of
labor and material.
Commissioner WATSON says that the
commissioners as body have first the
interests of the city at heart, not only
in maintaining the standards of the
city administration, but in adding i'm
provements whenever and wherever
possible. But in the present time i'm
provements must be put aside in the
effort to maintain the even keel of the
Ship OF City. -

was paid by bonding company, but
of this amount something over S13,-
900 was paid back to property owners
who had been overcharged. From the
$50, 900 there was also a collection ex-
pense of 80 per cent.
For payments on their franchise the
Edison Electric Light company paid
$4,000 to the city. Another item OF
some $4,000 owed by the county to
the city has been paid to the extent
of about $4,000, which has all gone
to the judgment funi, which is used
in the payment of judgments against
the city obtained in the various courts.
Out of the money received which
did not go into the judgment fund,
$4,000 has been spent in improve
ments on the city building. $4,000
has been expended in putting down
the asphalt strips over various sec
tions of old brick paving and the last
big item was for s4.3s2.S0, which was
used to pay off the balance of the debt
on the organ in the auditorium.
These various funds have not been
added to by the collection of back
taxes because back taxes are nearly
always used to add to the funds for
the budget of the next year in case
the expected collections are not up to
the estimated amount.

RAISE is UP TO C. OF C
Business Men VIII Be Asked To Con-
tribute to Firemen Advance.

The city firemen have decided to
send committee of three to appear
before the Chamber OF Commerce in
an attempt to solve the problem
whereby the $40 increase in salaries
granted last week by the city COM
missioners can be raised to $50, in ac-
cordance with the scale demanded by
the union. Mayor House will accom-
pany the firemen and will place before
the business men of the city what
appears to be a most difficult situation
as it will take $4,000 to bring salaries
up to the scale demanded.
Until the state legislature enacts a
law providing for a higher tax levy
than the 4 mill levy now in force, ex-
planned Mayor House at the meeting
at which the firemen reached their
decision, the city can only give the
firemen, along with the general raises
in salaries given city employees. raise
of SO, half of the advance demanded
by the firemen-
The firemen refused to accept the
raise unless there could be found some
way to increase it to what they
claim is being paid in other Kansas
cities and feel that it is up to the
business men to see that they are
maid enough to enable them to pro-
vide the adequate fire protection
which has been maintained in the
past.
The idea of having the business
men of the city assist in this raise
came from Patrick F. Gill, government
conciliator, who came here to avoid
a possible walkout on the part OF the
| firemen.
| Use Money in Treasury.
That there is about $4,000 In the
CITY treasury on collections from OLD
| bills, which is not being used at pres
ent and is unavailable. under the law
| for salaries, is the statement OF Mayor
House. Senator w. H. Schoch was
named by the firemen to investigate
why this money can not be used in
| the present emergency.
| Conciliator Gill says that House Is
not to blame for conditions and sug-
gests that the firemen appoint COM
mittee to try and see that the coming
| legislature makes the provisions nee
essary for an alienation of present
conditions. Mayor House promised his
| support and assistance.
The firemen declare that IL some
thing is not done mighty soon they
| will be forced to seek other fields OF
more lucrative employment.

The full top coat, with its large arm
holes and sleeves, its loose folds across
the back and front and its wide belt,
was an ungainly thing for the street.
1t did immensely well for the motor,
for travelling in wintry weather and
for any rough wear when one did not
have to walk: but 1t was not only un-
calmly. but uncomfortable as a gar
ment to walk In. 1t was heavy, 1t was
cumbersome, and it was therefore
shelved.
The Cape Takes the Coats Place.
While women were laundering
about in their search for something
warm, graceful and comfortable-a
trilogy of most desirable qualities
they found the cape. It was snatched
from the middle of the medieval
Italian police; 1t was borrowed with
out hesitation from the Italian avia-
tor.
It has served its purpose we'll FOR =
year; it promises to be with us for
several seasons to come, and 1t has
appeared in somewhat new form for
the autumn wardrobe. Its modern
distinction lies in the fact that a few
designers have arranged It so that 1t
looks like a frock and a cape COM
bined.
II is an economy garment, with q
strong chance of popularity. 1t may
be worn over any kind of last years
gown. because 1t resembles in every
particular a fashionable frock, and
yet its cape part, which swings loosely
over the shoulders and protects the
arms. gives added security against the
weather.
Worth of Paris, who Is working
along definitely conservative lines, has
brought out this kind of cape, and 1t
is said that the French woman, who is

New Capcs Trimmed With Square
Blocks.
It was Pompei that saw the high
decorative value Of black and white
blocks arranged in checkerboard fash
ion. Centuries passed before the fash
ion was taken up by moderns. Italy
used 1t in various ways thruout her
artistic career, but usually for interior
decorations. Here and there, however,
the italian gallant wore the Pompeian
floor decoration as bit of his gaunt-
let or a part of his undersleeve. It
must be admitted that to most of US
the entire design smacked of a Poire-
tesque bathroom floor
Today, however. Worth has brought
back the decoration for capes. He
also uses 1t on frocks.

capes. which looks like a gown and a
wrap combined. and can be worn as

to each other with a fine quilted stitch
at their edges. There is a reminiscent
touch of the collar in the very faint
strips of black and white that run
down the opening of the garment from
waist to hem. They remind one of the
little strips that warriors wear across
their coats. bespeaking their cam
paigns and their bravery.
