$1,000 For Improvement.

The amount spent for permanent
improvements has been unusually
small, approximating $4,000 for
sewer screen pit and Canal street con
struetion.
According TO your treasurer's re-
port the debt Of the city exclusive of
the water department is S149,355. a
net debt reduction Of S1i.3S5 from
the previous year, which is the first
time this debt has been below $780,
600 since 1912. Five thousand dol
lars Of this reduction is b. payment
upon sewer bonds now being retired
by like amount annually.
Our water department has likewise
made a bond payment of $4,000 and
also added a substantial amount to its
surplus account.
A total reduction Of S21, 200 upon
the eity's debt during the year should,
believe, be welcome news to all of
our citizens, and merit the considera-
ton justly due those who by faithful
service and economical management
make this possible

Happy Plan sasgeaed

There is plan in mind. at the mill,
whereby an arrangement may be car
ried out 50 that the employees forced
out Of work by the new sched-
ule. may work one week and LOAF n
week. someone else being given a
chance to work on the .loafing" week
and thus have an opportunity Of earn
ing weeks pay. There is nothing
definite concerning this scheme, but il
is said that this plan may be adopted
and put into effect.
Asked concerning the permaneney
Of the situation. Agent Gardne ?
said that business conditions in mar
kets where the company sells its goods
will govern operations entirely. The
present curtailment may continue a
few weeks and then things start up
again. or il may remain in force for
months Agent Gardner could offer
no encouragement in this direction.

Good Government and Taxes

Good government depends primar-
ily on the prompt payment Of taxes,
and unless these taxes are paid the
city cannot conduct its business. Our
taxes are high; we should be as econ
omical as possible in the conduct Of
affairs of the city and as watchful OF
the city's money as we are Of our own,
il not more so. Economy should be
the watehword Of our administration,
and every effort should be used to see
that we spend money only for necessi-
ties.

Twills and sateens were made there.
Wheels win cease turning in the brick
and stone Nightingale mills when the
present orders have been turned off.
However, there will continue TO be
some spinning operations here for an
indefinite period.
Two reasons are declared TO be the
cause of the present reduced
schedule of the concern. general poor
business conditions being one, and the
inability Of the company 60 compete
in the market with goods manufae-
tured on plain looms with other goods
that are turned off on automatically

In the latter case more looms can bS
operated with given number of en-
ployes. while with plain looms more
