and policies which are as follows:
To the Board OF Trustees.
City Of Rawlins, Wyoming.
Anyone who has taken the oath l
have Just taken must feel a heavy
weight OF responsibility. II not. he
has no conception Of the powers and
duties OF Office upon which he is
about to enter. or he Is lacking in a
proper OF the obligation which
the oath imposes.
At this time when our official re-
lations are about to begin. l have
thought 1t we'll to outline at some
length what l consider some Of the
important needs Of our City with
some suggestions relative thereto, as
we'll as to define in a measure my
policies for the ensuing year.
The obligation OF the part OF
those responsible for the expendi-
lures made to carry on our City Gov
eminent, to be as economical as pos
sible. Is plain. This Is especially
true when we are face to face with
an empty treasury. But when the
desire to win public approval leads
to the cutting off OF expenditures
really needed to made the admins
tration effective and to enable 1t to
accomplish its proper objects; the re-
suit Is as much to be condemned as
the waste of funds in Unnecessary
expenditures.
The Budget.
The Budget is the most important
factor in the control OF any business.
The recent National political cam
paign directed general attention to
the Budget as the only safeguard
against e~xtravagant and wasteful ex-
penditures and the excessive burden
some taxes which are the natural re-
suit. There Is no reason why this
should not apply equally as well to
a City Government. The only de-
pendable safeguard against over ex-
%penditure is the Budget. 1t, alone.
presents at all times the facts, based
on figures. 1t Is the ways and means
by which income and expenditures
are conducted and balanced. l
earnestly recommend a Budget for
the ensuing year, making such ap-
preparation of the available funds
that are not specifically appropriated
by Ordinance, as the Importance of
the work to be undertaken under
such appropriate ndemands.
Water.
The Water question continues as
serious as eve and demands your
earnest and thoughtful consideration.
At this time it is entirely u Of the
question to even think Of furnishing
our City with an adequate perman,
ent supply, so that we must, there.
fore, direct our efforts toward the
improvement Of the present supply
and to this end. l would suggest tina,
the west we'll be again placed ir
commission, and. II 1t is not feasible
to pump into the reservoir from
both wells at the same time. thi.
we'll could be kept ready for use ir
emergencies. We must not lose sigh
of the fact. however. that our pres
ent source Of supply is growing nor
and ore Inadequate. and we will
soon be compelled to face a larg'
bond issue to furnish us with
water system that will supply GU

needs for all time to come. No one
can deny that the development of
our city has G retarded by the
lack OF water. and it is to be hoped
that our financial condition may soon
warrant the undertaking of such a
project.
Streets and Sid walks.
A vast amount of work has been
done on our streets in past years.
but nothing OF a permanent nature
has been accomplished. Rawlins
has reached such size and import
ance that paved streets should be
considered, proper attention being
given to an efficient surface drain
age. Other cities in our State, of less
size and importance. r far ahead
OF us in this respect. l would urge
your consideration of a plan for per
manent street Improvement. and
would suggest that an improvement
area be designated including Lin
coin Highway, between Second and
Sixth; Fifth street. between Front
and Walnut; and Fourth Street. be-
tween Front and Buffalo.
The Ordinances governing side
walk improvement districts have not
been complied with in a name sat
isfactory to my predecessors. | plan
to take up this matter with the per-
sons concerned with the view of hav-
ing the Ordinances complied with.
The County Memorial Hospital
will probably be completed before
the first OF next year. and l would
suggest the extension OF the sidewalk
improvement district. on Maple St..
westward to the Hospital.
Further than this, | question the
a~dvisability of establishing any
other districts at this time.
City Jail
Our City jail is in a filthy and
insanitary condition. 1t should be
thoroughly renovated and painted,
new mattresses and bedding supplied
and then placed in absolute charge
Of the City Marshal. who should be
held responsible for its cleanliness
Fire Truck
The splendid Fire Truck that We
purchased several years ago has been
badly abused. The tenders are bat
tered and loose, the starter is out OF
order, the engine works poorly, and
a few days ago only a miracle
averted al explosion that would have
endangered the lives of those near

ACTION AGAINST MAIL
CAUSE BY SLOW MEANS

New York. July 25.-Decision 10
take action against the United States
mail steamship company was made
last Thursday at Washington. at full
meeting OF the shipping board. Mr..
Smull said and the action was unani-
nous. The alleged derelictions of the
company in the matter OF payments
was called TO the attention OF the new
board by the district auditor. and It
was former chairman Benson. now one
OF the commissioners who suggested
the course taken.
According 10 Elmer Schlesinger. n
general counsel of the shipping board
who was with Mr.. Smull. the board
has got 10 get down TO a business
OF 100000 more than the United
States mail was entitled to-" he said
And they have kept the freight and
passenger receipts since March 81"
Replying 10 a charge made today by
officials OF the United States Mail
that rhe shipping board owed 1t
money Mr.. Sehlesinger said he was
in a position 10 say that the shipping
board did no; owe the company any
thing.
Positive denial was made OF allega-
lions that any interest other than the
enc of the United states government
as represented by the shipping board
were concerned In the matter ana

WORLD BOOK IS
RECOMMENDED BY
MANY EDUCATORS

Miss Cora Phelan. teacher of Ok
lahoma City. is here representing the
World Book. which is said to be the
best reference book on the market
This book has been approved by the
Oklahoma Text Book Commission and
has found its way into many of the
schools Of the state. Each ward
school in Ardmore has the set, many
of the rural schools have purchased
them and educators are urging that
all schools and all families that have
school children equip their libraries
with the set. The information is less
technical than the big encyclopedias,
it is more easily understood, the work
is designed to meet the great need of
children and of parents who have
not technical education and in this
1t meets a universal need for the rea-
son that all men and women like to
have a subject treated in plain under
standable language.
Here Is n letter from Miss Edith
johnson of the Daily Oklahoman,
which she wrote after an examination
of the work:
My Dear Miss Phelan:
Il cannot tell you how delighted
am with the World Book" since
have had a chance to look 1t over
pretty carefully. Every line in it is
readable and my little niece is fas.
cinated with it.
"If child would use the "World
Book" TO supplement his school work
from the time he started in the first
grade until he graduated from high
school. it would afford him a broad
and liberal education. with the min
imum of time and effort.
I'm this age when a thousand new
impressions are crowding in upon us,
the things we remember are those
we see rather than those we hear on
this account, the World Book" is
particularly valuable, for in the most
beautiful and vivid way, it vsualizes
an immense amount of useful knowl-
edge through its pictures. location
maps, graphs and charts.
There is another feature about
the World Book" that especially
pleases me-that is the manner in
which It handles biography. l do not
think We can stress too emphatically
the value of reading biography. More
than any other form of reading, II
seems 10 me, biography serves to in
spire young people to noble achieve
ment. and TO create in them the high
est kind of ambition. 1t has been
great force for good in my life and l
am free to confess that / owe
great deal to the habit of reading
about what the men and women that
have gone before have done.
THE need Of thorough education
is greater today than it ever was,
and II will become increasingly import
ant with every passing year. I could
not wish anything better for every
child in the State of Oklahoma, on
this account, than to have the
World Book"
With best wishes for continued sue.
cess, am,
Most sincerely yours,
(Signed) EDITH c. JOHNSON.

Despite Henry Fords denial. as con-
tanned i'm an interview yesterday that
the Ford Motor Company contemplated

that large loan will be made within

"by the interview given out by Mr.. Ford
concerning the automobile business and
his affairs generally, as published in the

that his affairs are well within his own
control. as stated. he shows clear
vision and the right attitude concern
