The liability of the Plant to the
General Fund which was revealed by
the audit ending June 9th, 1922, is
not carried to the Plant Indebtedness
as shown by the books, nor is it in
cluded in the above tabulation.
In the Plant Books the General
Fund appears as creditor for 49,
373 80, whereas in the General Fund
Books the Plant appears to be Il
creditor in the amount of $575.00.
This difference between the books Of
the two Funds amounting to $3,94S.-
90 is due to the fact that Trustee
Broussard credited the General Fund
for the latter amount on the Plant
books and did not charge the Plant
for like amount on the General
Fund books.
On page 90 of this report is a
letter submitted to the auditor by
Mr.. L. f. Villermin. Trustee Of
Public Property, in which compu-
tation is made of the value of the
services rendered the city by the
Light, Power e. Water Plant. The
figures in this letter show the fol
lowing:
Services for months end
ing 12-31-21 ......... $9,204. 90
Services for 6 months end
ing 6-30-22 ......... 9,61S 90
Accepting these amounts as being
correct, the Plant would have shown
the following result from operations
had it been under private ownership:

PEACE TO BRING
PROSPERITY TO
BALKAN STATES
Development of Natural Re
sources Will Make Coun-
tries Rich.

Belgrade. Jugoslavia-If peace cnn
be maintained among the various
countries of the Balkans they are
destined to become, with gradual de-
velopnent Of their promising natural
RESOURCES extremely rosperous &C.
cording to Americans who have lived
here and engaged in business since
the war.
The most potent influence at pres
ent to maintain peace is the Little
Alliance esta blished by the help Of
the French at the conclusion OF the
general war. This at present is an in
tangible understanding between
Czecho-Slovakia, Rumania and Jugo-
countries which AVE never
had conflicting national interests of
serious Importance. Greece and Bull
Earia, If not Austria, may eventually
be drawn into this understanding.
One object Of the alliance, If it can
be SO called, is to block German inf1u-
ente: another is to settle quarrels and
eventually to arrange practical Gus
toms and trading agreements similar
to those in effect when much OF thia
territory was under the Austrian en-
pire.
When one considers the expressions
Of hatred daily INDUCED in by the
Greeks and Serbs against the Bulgars,
it would not appear probable hat any
reasonable termination of this hatred
could be found. Yet it is the theory
Of Minister OF Interior Manikovich,
OF Jugoslavia, that a permanent peace
Between the Serbs. chief Of the Jugo-
slav union, with Bulgaria is logical.
He maintains that they should try to
go back to their original union. which
had for it's purpose the defeat of the
| Turks. This, he says, is the secret of
peace in the Balkans.

its most ardent devotees would wish
as the result Of a series Of newspaper

Protests that the s%pectecles are
"barbarous and uncivilized" have been
frequently expressed by contributors
to local newspapers and the council
Of culture and arts recently engaged
in heated debate over their continual

bill was introduced in the lower house
asking for the abolition of ,bullfghts.
but it Vas pigeon-holed and never
came up for discussion. Assurance is
given, however, that the bill will be
revived At the next session Of con-
gress opening in September with ab-
solute certainty that it will be called
up for debate.
