InUite Congressman
Sims To Make Home

Former Congressman 7. w. Sims
has been invited to make his future
home in this city; a formal resolu
ton accordingly was endorsed by
the Rotary Club at its meeting last
Friday and, forwarded to Mr. Sim,
at Washington, where he is now liv
ing
Authentic information had reached
a member of the club that Mr. Sims
was seriously contemplating leaving
Washington and locating somewhere
in the Eighth congressional district
which he has represented for so long
in federal affairs, and that there was
a strong possibility of his locating
here on account of the field being
broader, possibly, than should he re-
turn to his former home in Linden
Several admirers of Mr.. Sims have
also written him personal letters
during the past week urging him TO
locate in this city and make it mis-
future home.

Street Parade Now
Up To Circus; City
Will Not Interfere

1t has been generally
rumored that the circus here
this week will not stage a
street parade because the city
has an ordinance against it,
and a prohibitive tax.
The city has no privilege
tax whatever on street parades,
and there are no restrictions
that would prohibit same.
If the circus this week does
not have a parade, it will be
no fault of the city govern
ment.
The city should have a
privilege tax for such parades,
and means of reimbursement
for damage to and use of
streets. A new ordinance has
been introduced accordingly,
but does not go into effect until
after final passage, which is
scheduled for next Tuesday
night.

Daily Memorandums Being

Shortage $4,000.
Three More Weeks of Work

Daily memorandums forwarded to

in the checking thus far to be
$37, 900 in the books of former book
than three weeks arduous work con-
fronting the auditors, who are
checking the entries and adding ma
chine figures item by item.
The auditors are sending the bank
a daily report of their findings, and
Pres. Porter of the bank hopes to be
able to give out the total actual
figures by October 1st. The short
fage, it also develops, extends over d
period OF about two and one-halt
years.
According to report given out by
a state bank examiner who has been
looking to the affair here, the Com
mercial Bank is wholly solvent, and
as previously stated at the bank
there is the capital of 100000 and
surplus of more than that amount
to protect the shortage. There is a
movement on foot too, said a bank
director to a Partisan reporter Thurs
day morning, to- make restitution to
cover the shortage, and that the
bank officials will not stand for
any compromise-tha full restitution
will have to be made, as soon as the
final and complete actual figures are
available on the shortage.
Mr., w. Nat Porter, of the Porter
Auto Company, is assisting in the
bank, while the vacancy in the
Lasater position of bookkeeper is
being attended by the regular bank
ing employees, and no one yet select
ed for the permanent position.
Mr.. Lasater and family are now
making their home with his wife S
mother, Mrs. Leffler, on Blakemore
street, and Mr.. I4asater is still giving
his attention to the chicken farm
and dog kennels under direction of
the bank.
w. c. Johnson, a director of the
bank, denies the report that he has
purchased the Lasater home.

CroUds Gather AS
Street Sprinkler
Works; Innovation

A street sprinkler in Paris is an
innovation--it has been more than
seven years since one has been seen
operating on the streets of the city.
The theory has been that the oiling
of the streets has kept down the
dust, but no attention seemingly has
been paid to the filth that accumu-
lates and is not absorbed by the
oiled surface. The result is that
after long dry spell the streets
are Uttered with pulverized filth of
all sorts. taken up on the breezes
and dumped into the homes, kitch-
ems, dining rooms, and etc.
Just what action the city can or
will take in the matter remains to
be ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS upon get
ting the money from some source
hitherto undetermined, but anyhow
a street sprinkler started temporary
operations ON Tuesday afternoon this
week. II was the occasion of con-
siderable comment and the gathering
of scores of people to watch it work
on E. Washington street, where 1t
started and operated east and west
to the city limits line, wetting down
the dust for the benefit of fair
travelling vehicles.
1t looked mighty good, the cooling
air felt mighty good, and the dust
less street and speedway made il
mighty comfortable; so much SO
that many citizens are wanting a
precedent established and the sprink-
ling made general over the city
Coma arpued that to the cities where
there are paved hard surface streets

rated to wash off the filth that ac-
cumulates. and cool the atmosphere

Walk Up And Get
Your Auto License;
Big Bargain Event

Those who will take advantage OF
the newly announced reduction in
the prices of automobiles and Fords,
will have a further bargain in the
license prices, according to w. l.
Dale, county court clerk.
Purchasers of automobiles of any
model, trucks, or, motorcycles since
September 1st, and from now until
January 1st, 1922, are thus in luck
with reference to operating license,
as under the law the license plates
were cut in half on September 1st.
This figure, of course, applies only
to the operation of the cars until
January 1st, 1922, when the annual
tax will again be due at the full
price. The city auto license, it is
understood, will not be collected
this year at all; it seems to have
been lost track of entirely since the
passage of the traffic and revenue
ordinance in 1913 and has never
been collected except in one or two
instances 1t will be put into effect
on new and better basis effective
January 1st, 1922.
