st. Pdtrick's Concert
By Lambert Murphy

Good seats for the Lambert Murphy
concert at the Goodwin institute We'd
nesday night are still to be had, but
they are getting scarce. according to
Cortese brothers, who are bringing this
popular tenor here There seems to
be heavy demand from folks who or
dinarily do not venture to spend an
evening listening to a concert. Appar-
emily they are anticipating some very
unusual and the record Of Murphy else
where would seem to assure them no
disappointment.
He graduated from Harvard some
eight or nine years ago, but as a sololst
IN big Boston church he had won for
himself wide popularity, as well as in
university musical circles. Since en-
tering the concert field he has toured
the country from Boston to San Fran
cisco and many rank him with the fore
most singers Of his time,
His program Is chosen to please those
who prefer ballads and songs with
abundant rhythm and tune.

tinued tho premier
After mentioning the suggestion made
by the United States that France could
raise value Of the franc by increasing
expectations. Premier Miiierand said
that the question appeared TO be i'm
perfectly understood by the American
people
we ask nothing better than increased
exports. We must first, however,
manufacture. and we can't make the
things for foreign trade until we have
factories in which to manufacture
them"
lie then took up the view of Ameri-
can financiers who have urged France
to ship her gold against an unfavorable
trade balance. He continued. If
France were deprived OF her gold IT
would bring on a financial crisis CO.
NEEDING with the period during which
the effects Of war would be unrepaired.
II would constitute perils Of another or
der quite as great as those we were
under from 1914 to 1918"
In conclusion the premier declared,
France and the United States cannot
afford TO misunderstood each other.
Both countries must bear In mind that
there are no dealings worth while in
which each does not find an advantage.
France is determined To rise from the
ruins accumulated on her soil by the
battle OF nations. She will be able to
make the necessary fiscal effort, taking
all the measures the situation requires.

ON MONDAY NIGHT

The regular monthly meeting of the
City Council will be held next Mon
day night and, apart from routine
matters, the attention OF the MEM
bers will be centered on further con-
sideration of the garbage ordinance
which was adopted at the monthly
meeting in April.
No doubt seems TO exist that action
will be taken toward supplementing
the ordinance so as to relieve present
conditions. and it is not unlikely that
this will be done unanimously
However, il is understood that a
OF citizens and delegations
will be on hand to express, if nee
essaTy, the public's protests against
the ordinance as it now stands and
the operations under it. In fact MEM
bers of the Council have invited these
to be made and every
body will be welcome.

June /, 1920, at such rate that we,
as members OF the City Council. here
with offer to our citizens and taxpay-
ers the following explanation of our
motive in voting for the ordinance
now in operation.
The street committee advertised
for bids TO remove garbage from June
/, 1920, to May 81, 1921. and only two
bids were submitted. viz: Fred w.
Stehle, s10,S00 to dump outside OF the
City limits; $500 to dump either on
Clay street or Feldmeyers dump, the
City TO furnish the dumping grounds.
"Thos. McGuckian submitted bid
OF 1896 for the remov | of garbage

in an ordinance that was to be sub
mitted at the meeting of April II. 1920
MIR. Stehle also made a bid under
the proposed new garbage ordinance
TO remove the garbage at a bid of
$500.
Conditions were such that the City
Council was compelled to look to some
means of economizing, and the saving
to our taxp yers, and an item OF
saving of $5,9S3, or the equivalent of
ten cents on each 800 of assessed
property on our tax rte was such an
item to us in our financial plight that
We could not overlook this opportun-
ity, and we wish to add, at this time,
that some of our streets must be at
tended TO at once and certainly must
be done at no small cost.
with no motive. other than the
interest of the tex payers in our
minds, We have supported the ordi-
nance now being carried out If the
course that we have pursued in this
matter has not been to the interest of
our taxpayers and constituents, we
invite all citizens to attend the next
meeting of the City Council, on Mon
day, June IA, when we will be pleased
to hear any good reasons for a change
and will assure our constituents that
their wishes will be carefully consid-
