TRUTH ABOUT
CITY FINANCES

Since the making public of the
belated report Of Controller Bry-
son as to the financial affairs Of
Indianapolis for the year 1920, a
studied effort is being made to
make it appear that because there
was a greater balance in the funds
at the end of the year 1920 than
there was at the end Of the year
1919, the Jewett administration is
entitled to great praise because
'the finances of the city show
healthy gain"
Comparison of Controller Bry-
sons reports for 1919 and 1920
disclose the following:
For 1919
Receipts .......$6,719,49O.O2
Disbursements ...... 6,268,345.53
Difference ....... 81 ,451 ,144.49
For 1920
Receipts .....$10,593, ,S32.92
Disbursements ..... S,622,71S.33
Difference ....... $1,970.61459
In other words. the receipts of
the city were $1451,144.49 more
than the expenditures in 1919 and
in 1920 the receipts, were $3,S73,-
1920 more than they were in
1919 and only $1970,614.59 greater
than the expenditures.
Therefore, by the simple ex-
pediency of assessing the people
of Indianapolis a sum sufficient to
increase its receipts S3,S73,842.9O,
the city administration was able
to increase the balance IN the city
funds at the end of 1920 the sum
Of $519,47020, which sum, being
less than one-sixth Of the in
creased receipts, was Saved" to
the city and represents a healthy
gain" In the minds of the Jewett
partisans.

C0NY TO CLASH WITH
EDWARD LITTLE TEAM
SATURDAY IN AUGUSTA

The coming game with Edward
Little High school of Auburn at $50
next Saturday afternoon at Capitol
park is the chief subject under dis
cussion at Cony this week. The gen.
eral verdict is that while the Auburn
school will put up a strong battle,
there is a good chance for Cony to
take the game. Edward Little has
defeated South Portland, tied Rum
ford and Morse High, and been de-
feated by Lewiston. While the score
is not a guarantee of a. better team
the fact remains that Cony has de-
feated Morse High and Lewiston
High. This gives a basis for the
declaration that Cony will win.
Edward Titles main hope seems
to be in their full-back. Shannahan.
who is a dangerous nan on both Of
Tense and defence. There is a good
chance that one of last years letter
men, Ralph Newman, may be able to
play for Cony in this game and if so
this will further strengthen the team.
An interesting fact about this game
Is that Edward Little is being
coached this year by a former Cony
player, Perley ("Pick') Turner who
played fullback for Bowdoin last
year and was named for the all
Maine team. Cony is getting in some
good practice and Wednesday had a
