CITY FINANCE
PROBLEMS FOR
THE COUNCIL

How to rchabilitate the city's weak
ened financial condition? How to bios
ter the treasury? Thatl1 be a problem
for the new city council
This was indicated last night when
administration officers introduced an
ordinance at d special meeting of coun-
Gil boosting the annual license of rear
beer saloons from $40 10 5000 This 8
$50 less than the license required Of
saloons in the old hard-liquor days.
Mayor Brown. taking the floor. ad-
vocated increased license fees This,
he said, because East Hammond and
other parts of the city are festering :
with overnight soft drink parlors
where moonshine. crime and Hcenti-
BUSINESS hold sway. The propriet tor
takes out license, makes money. then
conceIs his license and gets refund
from the city Greater tax on the soft
drink parlors will wipe out these
epehemeral sore spots of vice. thinks
the mayor. He attributes the triumph
OF prohibition to beiated efforts of sa-
loonkeepers and brewers to supervise
their business and run II in decent
fashion. The same fate awaits the
soft drink men. ne says. Another rea-
son for increased license fees is that
the city needs the money. This was
brought out also in another ordinance
raising commercial vehicle tax $40 to
$50 year.
Soft drink parlors selling kickless
beer now pay $40 year.
Councilmen Reissig, White Conde
and others objected strenuously to an
annual tax OF 5000 on motion Of
conde the measure was tabled
The ordinance Increasing tax on
comercial ven1cles was passed without
debate.
Council spent a little money also. 1t
authorized the expenditure OF $500 for

MONTAGUE SUCCEEDS in PASS
ING 2 BILLS.

Washington. Feb. 21.-Represcnts
tive A. J. Montague, of Richmond,
was successful yesterday in having
two bills passed in the house, and at
same time drew very high com
pliment from Representative Jamcu
r. Mann, of Illinois.
Oneof the bills passed ut the in
stance of Representative Montague
was for the relief of the owners of
the steamship Claypool, md the 9TH
er was for the relief of ]. A. Leslie,
of Tazewell. In the case of Leslie.
other means had been attempted tu
have the government afford relief to
him for the loss of $1,000 govern
ment certificate of indebtedness
which was destroyed. Representative
Montague succeeded in having n bill
passed in this case.
The bill, which was under discus
sion on the floor of the house. il.
which Representative Montague wa,
endeavoring to have passed was a.
bill providing for the retirement of
John b. Warning, former captain IL,
the army, who had been discharged.
Captain Warning had seen service In
the Philippines where his eye sight
had been affected. Representative
Montague was endeavoring tn have
legislation passed that would place
Warning on the retired list. To this
Representative Mann objected.
During the discussion Repressuta-
tive Montague said: 81 will plead
guilty to the charge that l have a.,
peared before tho committee on mil
itary affairs where there were lib
eral hearings OH this case, and where
they did me the honor to listen to
me for half an hour on the subject"
Mr.. Mann-"I do not wonder Mt
that. 1 would listen to the gent,.-
man for two hours on any bill with
pleasure to myself
Mr.. Montague-"T here must hav,,
been great deal of merit in the bill
or they would not have reportes
after listening TO me for half a,l
hour"
Mr.. Mann-"No; the gentleman
can talk for an hour on any bill
without any merit in it with much
pleasure to all those who hear him"

ANOTHER HORROR.

The destruction of the giant dirig-
IDLE on Tuesday with the loss Of
about 36 men, officers; crew and pass !.
engers, has spread gloom over the
entire country. The disaster occurred
at the Army and Navy base, at
Norfolk. When the big ship, on hef
trial flight, was about ten or twelve
hundred feet in the air something
suddenly went wrong, and a nose
dive WAS the result. In less tim.
than is necessary to read half these
lines the ship had struck the ground
and was mass Of flames. In tho
descent the dirigible came in con.
tact with heavily charged wires,
causing the gas to become ignitea.
Nearly every man aboard was
buried to an unrecognizable mass Oh
charred flesh and bones. The dirig-
IDLE the largest Of It's type in the
world, had but recently bssn pur-
chased from the Italian government,
and newly equipped with six Liberty
motors, and this was trial trip.
This horror adds another TO the
list OF appalling disasters which
have occurred but recently-The
Knickerboeker theatre collapse In
Washington, the Lexington hotel fire
In Richmond, the destruction Of the
l-R2 on her trial trip, the. loss on

FOR A BETTER HIGH SCHOOL.
(From the High School Paper, "Tht
Peppety-Ep."

(From the High School Paper, "The
Peppety-Ep."
Very few of the citizens of our
town really know under what condi-
tions the work is being carried on
in the high school. The needs of the
school are many, but one of the
greatest needs is more class rooms.
The Seniors do not have room at
all. They spend part of the time III
the sewing room, which is nothing.
but one end of the hall up stairs
partitioned only part of the way with
beaver board and when sewing
class is being held, they go any
where that chair can be founo.
The Senior year is the year in which
every student should do his best
work, but it is impossible for him to
do his best work under the prevail.
conditions. The sewing room.
does not have desks, but long tables
and machines, besides this room
should be used for sewing only and
not as recitation room.
The domestic science equipment
has been greatly improved by The
aid of the School Board and the Civ.
ic League. More of the girls havu
shown an interest in this department
this year than ever before 1t is very
remarkable how much has been &C.
complished-5, but how much moru
could be done if this department.
were fully equipped.
The school has only one labora
tory which must serve for fourth
year chemistry and first and second
year science. The equipment fol-
chemistry is more nearly complete
than the other classes, but It is ia,
. from being sufficient for the needs
The library has been improve

Clinch Valley news. [volume] (Jeffersonville, Va.) 18??-2019, 1922-03-03

greatly in the past two years. pub
does not meet the present neeo
There should be at least one copy of
every book in the library which Is
required for parallel reading. Since
there are SO few of these books in
the library, the collateral reading IL
mited to these because very few
books can be secured from private
libraries.
Another great need of the s,nool
- &c chapel. 1t is very often
.-e~css.iy tnat the whole school as.
sembie at once, but this Is impos-
s.bie, SINCE the grades alone fill the
chapel. During commencement all ...
citals and exercises are held in this
building, and it is not large enough
to accommodate the public.
One of our greatest needs ia n
gymnasium and play ground, but
Tazcwell has neither. Especially nee
essary is an indoor court, as inreres,
seems to center in basket ball. MOI
either of our basket ball teams car
do its best work, because we do not
have an indoor court. Our teams car,
not show up to their best advanta y.-
in games with other schools. becaus,
the weather often prevents practices.
Students would take more interest in
athletics if they had q gymnasium.
With a good gymnasium it woul,,
be possible to give physical train
ing to- that large body of pupils
those who do not go out for eithe,
team. This not only would help our
teams do better work, but the aver
age child would be enabled to round
out his mental development with n
proper amount of physical develop
ment.
The citizens of Tazewel should
know that Tazewell High School is
growing and they should be siad
that it is. The building and equip
ment which We're once sufficient do
not meet the present demand. If
there were more room it would be
surprising how the school would
grow. We are not ashamed of our
school, but we do want it to be up to
date, and we want our students to do
the work they are capable of, so
they can compare favorably with
other schools.
