CITY FUNDS SHOW
DEFICIT Of OVER
$4,000 IN REPORT
Auditors Report Filed With City
Council Monday Evening Shows
Large Deficit in City's Funds
Recommend Sinking Fund.

City COuncilmen were face to face
with a serious situation Monday eve-
ming when they received from the Off
cial city auditor his report of recent
auditing Of the city's books for the
period from December 1, 191, to De-
ccmber 81, 1921.
The report shows that on December
81. 1921, the city had total assets OF
S1O6,l26.61 and total liabilities of
$199,OO0.lS or deficit of $s2,S73.57.
The total receipts OF the city during
this period Of time has been $780,
0l5.SO and the total expenditures have
been $294,471.
The auditor recommends the crea-
ton Of Sinking Fund by a special
sinking fund levy to be added to the
regular city tax levy for the purpose
of redemption of the present bonded
Indebtedness. He also recommends
that suit be instituted Immediately
against all persons who now owe the
city taxes or-street and sidewalk as
sessments.
The report of the Auditor bears out
the prediction of the Public Ledger at
the institution Of the present Admins
t-ation that the new Administration
would have the biggest job on its
hands that any city administration
had in the history of Maysville. At
that time we recommended retrench-
ment and very careful guarding Of
the city treasury. City Council chose
to disregard our warnings and advice
at that time and now find they are di-
rectors of corporation facing bank
ruptcy and the only manner in which
they can clear the city's Indebtedness
is. as the Auditor recommends, an cx-
ira sinking fund levy which means a
considerable increase IN taxes.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
DECLARED LEGAL
BY SUPREME COURT
Justice Bradies Gives Decision Sus-
tanning validity Of the Nine.
teenth Amendment on
Monday.

Washington, February 2S.-The con.
sthutionality of tho women's suffrage
or Nineteenth .tmendmemnt was sus'
tained Monday by the Supreme Court
In a unanimous decision rendered BY
Justice Brandies.
The challenge came from the state
of Maryland. where Oscar Lesser and
others sought to prevent the registra-
ton OF two women as qualified voters
In Baltimore. Lesser and his associ.
ates contended that the constitution
OF Maryland limited suffrage to men
that the Legislature Of Maryland had
refused to ratify the woman's suffrage
amendment and that the amendment
had not become part OF the Federal
Constitution. The Maryland state
courts sustained the amendment.
The contention that an amendment
to tho Federal Constitution relating to
additions to the electorate can not be
made without the consent Of the state
the Court disposed Of by reference to
the Fifteenth or equal suffrage amend
ment. declaring that "one can not be
valid and the other invalid" II point
ed out that the validity OF the FIJI
teenth Amendment had been recog-
nized for half century.
The suggestion that several OF the
thirty-six states which ratified the
Nineteenth, Amendment had provi-
sions in their state constitutions
which prohibited the Legislatures
from ratifyingj could not be enter
tanned. the Court stated. because the
State Legislat hres derived their power
In such matters from the Federal Con-
stitution. VIII hich "transcribes any lin
itations sought to be imposed by the
people Of a state"
The remaining objection that the
ratifying resolutions Of Tennessee and
West virginia we're imperative be-
cause adopted in violation OF legisla-
tive procedure In these states may
have been rendered ''immaterial," the
court declared. by the subsequent rat
ification Of the amendment by Con-
necticut and Vermont.
The contention was disposed OF,
however, on a broader ground. the
court stated. adding that the Secre-
tary OF States having issued a procla-
nation o, the ratification OF the
amendment by the Legislatures OF
thirty-six states, the amendment to all
intents and purposes had become
mart Of the constitution.
