CITY FINANCES SHOW
BIG IMPROVEMENT
For First Time in History. Town Re-
tires Bonds: Interest Saved; Sur
plus Gains $4,000 i'm Year

For the first year in the history
of the city. Lynden was able to pay
off portion of it's bonded indebted
ness during 1921. A report of city
finances published today in an ad-
joining column shows that total of
S5,969.99 in general bonds was paid
during the year, with a saving of ap-
proXimately $3.50 annually in inter
est.
The surplus of the city also increas-
ed more than $4,000 in the year.
advancing from $14,10S.31 to S22,-
704.66.
This showing is made in spite of
the fact that the council has reduced
the levy of the town one mill each
year for the last three years. The
warrant indebtedness of the town has
been entirely wiped out; in 1914, this
was more than seven thousand dol
lars
The council has established
permanent sinking fund, and plans
to make further reductions Of the
bonded indebtedness at regular in
tervals.

Judge VIII Censor Press
Statements In Oil Fight

Richmond, Va, Nov. lS--If counsel
in the legal fight in progress between
common and preferec stockholders
Of the Pierce OH Corporation for con
tro! OF the corporation give out any
more statements to the press, the
statements will first be submitted TO
Judge William \. Moncule, Of the
Charcery Court, before whom the case
is beng heard. Agreement TO this
effect vas made today.
Exception was first noted by Henry
". Anderson, Richmond attorney and
former Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of Virginia, who is principal
spokesman fol the common stockhold-
ers. Anderson read newspaper clip
pings detailing how Samuel Inter
myer, of New York, chief counsel for
the preferred stockholders, had drawn
admission from witnesses Of the other
side that secret written pact be
tween Henry l.. Doherty and Henry
Clay Pierce, president OF the corpora
ton, gave the latter one-half OF the
voting power and the power to name
a majority of the board of directors in
return for loan of 100000 to the
corporation.
Anderson charged that Utermyer
had prepared the copy for the press
and that it was not altogether in &C
cord with the facts. Untermyer re-
torted with the charge that attorneys
for the common stockholders gave out
Il statement TO the press a few days
ago in which his activities in the case
were grossly misrepresented.
Judge MoncWe suggested that all
the attorneys refrain from talking
with reporters and that he be allowed
to censor all future statements that
might be prepared for the press. To
this both sides agreed.
President Pierce was on the stand
practically ali day.

.ITc are Just abort to commercial
i-c oar history. Boston did it.
The past speaks and its words
fall gratefully upon the ears Of
thousands. Tourists from over
the wide. wide world will stop in
Alexandria to see these spots that
should he held dear and sacred
here. We should be proud OF our
foreiathers and OF the deeds OF
those who were instrumental in

conceived in liberty. 1t was here
in this very city that the greatest
nation on earth today was brCn
not two centuries ago. vet it IS
surprising how ignorant the gen

to be marked and in marking will
