Christian church has always been the

though Jesus was poor man, without a

was the richest life for the old world that
was ever<lived. The men who ever bless
ed the world the. most have not been the
richest men. Jesus told his disciples that
Character, not money, is what counts
that TO be successful one need not be
wealthy. Poverty and riches are rela-
tive terms one may have much money
and yet be poor and at the same time
one may have very little money and yet
love, friendship, affections and virtue

The real basis for the relief Of poverty
Is brotherhood. such as Jesus came 10 es-

is needed most in this world today. The
poorest of us have that to give which tht
world needs. The man with full hear
OF love can do most for the world, ant
every man can give love to his unfortu

which was started before the present ad-
ministration took hold. 1t cost $4,000
for the job instead of $500. This was
charged to macadam repairs
Much work Of a permanent character
has been done by the public works de-
partment, an dit has been the policy, said
the mayor, to do permanent work rath-
er that of a temporary character. In this
line was the concrete roadway put IN
at both ends of Water street at a cost
Of $4,000. This likewise was charged
to Nthe macadam repairs account The
question was between repairing the ma
cadam or putting in a permanent road
and the decision was for the permanent
construction
The public WORKS department has been

Discussing the condition Of the city f.
nances as shown by the city treasurer's
statement of receipts and expenditures
reported at the March council meeting,
Mayor H M. Lerou said Tuesday that
he was confident the city would get
through this year without having to re-
pear the experience of last year when "a
special city meeting had to be called to
make an extra appropriation of $4,000
before the year was out under the pre-
vious administration.
Attention had been called to the fact
that the estimates of receipts IN several
city departments were not anywhere near
being realized, and Mayor Lerou cali
ed attention to the. fact that these were
not estimates with which he had had
anything to do, but, were made before
he was elected mayor, and he pointed
out how loosely they seemed to be made
in some Instances. AS an example, the
| estimate of income from rents was plac-
ed at $4,250, whereas there is never more
| than $500 or 800 expected to Re receiv-
| ed from rents. But the sum of $4,250
was placed in the estimates. In the de-
| pattnent of cemeteries the estimated re-
cepts were placed at $4,000, but tine
mayor learned from the cemetery super
| intehdent that this figure had been put
! in without inquiry being made of the
| superintendent as to what the probable
receipts would be. They will probably not
reach within a thousand dollars Of this
| figure.
| On the other hand. the city court prom.
| fses to make up for some of these mac.
CITRATE estimates, as it is now $4,000
] ahead of what 1t was estimated would BIZ
derived from that source. The water
| works will doubtless turn in the $50 ,0Ot
estimated Among its receipts in the pas
| few months has been the collection o.
| $500 In back water rates. some Of then
| long past due. said the mayor
One insufficient estimate on the ex
pense side which the mayor pointed on
was in the item Of salaries and commits
sion Of the tax collector. This was plac
ed at $500, when it was perfectly ap
parent that at least $4,000 would b
needed for this item as the tax collecto
would receive sz.75o, the mayors salar-
is $1,000, the city treasurer's salary 81
500 and the city clerks salary $3.50,
total Of $4,000.
