THE OYSTER.

The oyster Is a funny machine
His legs are long and square,
His body is Of . .~h,tisn green
And his head is without any hair.
He eats his chow we don't know how,
He has no knife. fork or spoon,
But he gets fat. We all know that.
Because we enjoy this luscious boon.

into the lead on the twelfth ballot,
the Ohio governor showed consistent
gains on every ballot to the six.

Of the business men since additional

1T Is probable that the heads of

ask for reasonable increases Of their

Big Financial Outlook.
"Oa the whole the financial out
look is not very encouraging. How
ever, the receipts from the various
Ge altments for the past year have
been considerably more than had
been anticipated based upon receipts
of the preceding year. The revenue
Of the police department has ex-
ceeded the estimate by almost $1,000
Collections of street or poll tax have
bee nmore than $500 above the es-
innate. License fees collected by
the city clerk have exceeded the es-
Innate by approximately the same
amount. Also 5000 has been receiv-
ed from the state treasurer as the
citys share of automobile taxes,
whereas the estimated receipt from
this source was but Sl400.
Notwithstanding these increases in
the city's revenue, it may be sadi
that whether the city can continue
its usual work and carry out the pro
grams referred to and yet keep with
in the six mill levy provided by law
will depend upon the amount OF in
crease in the assessed valuation Of
he personal property of the city.
While the wealth of the city has un
increased, it must be
,orne in min dthat automobiles
many mortgages and notes, govern
nent bonds, and many investments
n oil properties upon which gross
production tax is paid, are not sub
ect to ad valorem taxation, 1t is
expected that information as to the
ssessed valuation of the city will
oon be obtainable."
