FIND FINANCES
OFRAVENSWOOD
OUT OF BALANCE
Report of State Accounts
Board Shows Bad
Management.

The little town of Ravenswood, stu
ated on the banks Of White River. north
of the city, and noted chiefly for its dis
play of bathing suits, came into the
limelight again today when the State
board of accounts reported that its f1nan-
ciaI affairs have been badly mismanaged
and that there Is not the amount of money
on deposit in favor of the town that
should be.
The examination of the financial affairs
Of the corporation, which has a large
population in the summer, but the per-
manent population of which is given by
the United States Census Bureau as five,
was made by J. H. O'Neall, an examiner
Of the board Of accounts. He found that
A. P. Robertson, clerk and treasurer of
the town, owed the corporation the sum
of 81, 695.06. 1t was stated at the board
of accounts office, however, that unOf-
fetal word had been received that Mr..
Robertson had, since the report was
made. deposited a part of this sum to the
credit of the town.
REPORT OF
STATE EXAMINER.
The examiner found that the pre-
scribed books are not being used, that
the records are not in balance, that the
records are not properly kept, and that
neither officers bonds nor depository
bonds are on file.
The principal income of the town, &C
cording to the report, is derived from the
automobile parking privileges. The ex
aminer says no accurate record of this in
come is kept.
The total receipts Of the town for the
period from Aug. 4, 1910 to July 81, 1921
were S5,63S.64 and the disbursements were
hnIo -
Of which $500 was deposited Aug. II, ac-
cording to the report The remainder due,
according to the report, is 81 ,69506, unless
there has been an additional deposit since
the date of the report.
The receipts Of the town are listed as
follows: Contributions. $501; conces-
sions, S749.S9; automobile parking, $3,-
20775; borrowed money, sos, and bond
sales, 5000. The disbursements are listed
as follows: Pay of marshall, $1,725.74;
special police, 1854. 65; park upkeep, $3.50;
clerks supplies, $500; printing. $3.50;
payment of borrowed money, S25.

ments on the situation:

because of our carelessness yours
and mine.
Every day that you drop a letter in
the mail box 4O,OO0,0OO other letters
are already pushing and jamming
through the postal machinery. One
letter a day for each family of five
persons in the United States is given
to Uncle Sam to deliver.
When you send a parcel to the
post office for mailing any day there
are about 100000 other parcels
ahead of yours passing through the
postal hopper. This is in ordinary
days; at Christmas time it ismulti-
piled many times.
Che family in about every ten puts
badly addressed letter in the mail
every day. This mixes up over 2,OO0,-
900 half addressed letters with the
100000 fully addresserd letters.
That means that the fully addressed
letters must wait on the slow moving
poorly addressed letters just like the
larger boys and girls are delayed by

size and tendency to slip out of

more likely to be overlooked or lost.

Mass. Contractors
Say Building Wages
Must Take Tumble

Worcester, Mass, Dec. 1.-THE AS
sociated Contractors of Massachu-
setts, with a membership covering
the entire state, by formal vote to-
day declared that wages in the
building industry must be lower in
1922. They voted also not to permit
unions connected with the industry
to dictate working conditions and not
to sign any written agreement with
the unions.
This action followed an address by
Charles r. Cow of Boston. president
OF the Associated Industries of Mass
achusetts, in which he asserted that
wages in the building industry had
not come down in proportion to those
in other lines of work and in propor-
tion to prices Of goods and material.
1t was necessary, he declared. to
bring about balance of economic
conditions. ~t .
Asked IL his association would sup
port the contractors it matters came
to trial of strength with the unions,
he replied it Would.
The contractors organiza ton was
formed after building trades strikes
in Boston and other cities last year.
The Boston strike resulted in open
shop conditions in the building trades
of that city.
