Your Doctor Culver gave me very
careful examination and said had an
enlarged liver and breaking down OF
the left kidney and told me if it had

CITY LIGHT PLANT
QUESTION UP AT
SOUTH SIDE MEETING

The question Of taking the Munich.
pal Light Plant out OF the hands Of
the Public Service Commission was
discussed at length at the meeting OF
the South Side Improvement Associa-
ton held Tuesday evening. Those
taking part In the discussion were OF
the opinion that the city is handi-
capped in taking care Of it's own plant.
They expressed the idea that the tax
payers are entitled to look out for
their own interests Of which the plant
Is a part. No definite action was TAX
en- but the matter was referred to the
legislative committee.
Officers were installed by G. A.
Hoelscher
A luncheon was served by John
Zwissler. Music was furnished by a
male quartet composed OF Urban
Gausepohl. William Hoelscher. Frank
Kahle and Joseph Vessel.
Standing committees for the year
1919 were appointed as follows:
Factory committee. John H. Kohl, J.
Henry Bode, and William H. Bartel.

wedel, Anton Stole and John N. Kohl;

secretary shows that assets in real es-
tate and personal property Of the as
sociation amount to $32,550 while the
debts amount to $4,000 leaving bal
ance of S2S,75O.
Mr.. Kohl adds to his report the fol-
lowing statement: Il like to add to
the above report that while the valu-
atoms are, owing to the nature OF
the assets, bound to be only approx
mate, they have been arrived at with
care and conservatism. 1t is distinctly
up to the members, stock holders and
lot owners to increase the value OF
their holdings. If they can take an
active interest in the future, attend
meetings. pay their dues. make others
take an interest in the valuable stock
OF the ssociation-with other words.
boost, the value of their holdings Is
bound to increase and they themselves
nobody else--will be the benefic-
iaries of their good citizenship. II.
however, they remain listless and in
different and cannot see any farther
into the future than what concerns
their little individual circle OF interest.
the opposite will be true. The board
of directors and officers Of the Asso-
citation can only work and plan for
its welfare to the best Of their ability
and have done so ceaselessly. What
Is now needed, and what we intend
to get, Is active cooperation from the
members, stock holders and lot own
ers.
Notwithstanding the adverse con-
ditions OF the year 1918. the Associa-
ton succeeded in making some head
way in its various activities and is
looking with confidence and optimism
into the New Year 1919. with good will
towards everybody and appreciation
for every kind word and act be it ever
so small"
