1.-THE city is broke between pay
days. said City Controller Bescher
to council Monday night. when he
asked for the authorization of a tenn
porary loan of $4,000 to meet antic-
ipated current expenses of the city
during 1921.
Bills amounting to $4,000 are now
outstanding against the city and there
is no money in the treasury to meet
these, Mr.. Bescher stated. The bor-
rowing of money will be made from
time to time, as needed, it is said.

$4,000 by the city.

dition of streets and crossings in the
city, stating that he had made a per-
sonal inspection of his ward and

Der of men now out of work there

city should not be in first class con-
dition.

ment was virtually killed when a mo-
ton to table the question indefinitely
was carried by a 5 to vote. Rec

gathering the city garbage, was
roundly scored by Councilman White
and others. Council finally went on
record as recommending to the board
of works that Mr.. Sticks pay be held
up unless better service was given in
the collection of the refuse.
The erection of a memorial to the
service men from this city who made
the supreme sacrifice in the World
war was suggested by Councilman
Waterman. He advocated raising
the money by popular subscription,
each councilman acting as supervisor
in his particular ward. The memo
rial was to be a tablet of some kind,
and would be placed in the court
house yard.

No story of sports in New Zealand
would be complete without mention Of
the athletic prowess of the MaOris who,
even in the early days Of New Zealand,
took the sports as did our American
Indians. Not even today, with the gov
eminent regulated racing, are better con-
tests produced than were to be seen at
the old time Maori oats meetings. The
promoters and officials of these meets
were Maoris and the stakes for which
the horses ran were sacks Of oats. The
owner of a horse lucky enough to win
more than one race a day often had to
send for q wagon to haul his winnings
away There is the story of one owner
whose winnings for the day were so
heavy that the Maoris ran out Of oats
and had to add two live pigs to the
load o, grain to balance the account.

sports that the Maoris excelled because
