was less than $4,000 in the sink
ing fund to pay a bonded debt of
100000. There was 500, 900 de-
ficit in the general funds of the
city.
To-day. the city commission has
changed that deficit Of $4,000 to
surplus of $4,000 in the general
funds and In addition. there is
now over $4,000 in the sinking
fund to handle the bonded debt.

of an open shop fight" he de-
clared. What is an open shop
fight? 1t Is a community so hos
tile against labor unions that the
people will not allow employers to
