scoreboard carried Graham McNamee's
picture story of the progress of each
game to the thousand of fans who
have crowded the Eleventh street
side of The Star Building during the
championship series.
A six-tube Thermiodyne receiving
set, loaned by the Carroll Electric

story of the games. which was shot

In tuning the set for the first time
set the potentiometer contact arm
near the B terminal end of the re-
sistance element. Then turn up the
current in the tubes rather high. Set
the rotor of the variocoupler so that
its windings are practically concen-

begin to adjust the switch and con-

denser dials throughout their range
for every adjustment of the switch

that best results will be obtained only

ABOUT CITY AFFAIRS

Owing to the lateness Of the hour
when the report Of Mayor McLean's
address to the City Government was
received the Journal was not able to

The Mayor believes in affording
the public information respecting the
city affairs and II is thought to be

community to assist him In bringing
to the public's attention his estimate
and report Of conditions for the first
year Of his administration. Accord
ingly some of the more important
phases In the Mayors report of the
work done arr here printed in full.
improvements Reccommendsd Made
I feel that the business policy has
been reflected In the results. In my
inaugural OF last year I recommend
cd the safe guarding of City Hall by
the installation OF fire escapes: the
safe guarding of Rines Hill by the
erection OF n sidewalk on the east
side Of the hill and the erection OF n
collision wall at the top OF the hill
on the easterly line of Gage Street:
the re-adjustment Of salaries. and
the relief OF the traffic congestion on
Water Street. All but one OF these
recommendations have been carried
into effect and substantial progress
made in the case OF that exception
City Hall has been safeguarded by
the erection of three new fire es-
capes and the making OF three new
exits. 1t has been transformed from
an assembly place of great danger
70 one OF exceptional safety. This
Is an improvement that every citizen
will appreciate.

1851 over that of the previous 10
months period.
The wisdom of the foregoing
changes is illustrated by the fact that
on January /, 1924. for the first time
since the. inception of the present
school system the sschool books and
those of the city balanced. AS a re-
suit of the changes made only the
most gross inattention will permit q
repetition of the chaotic financial con-
dition which existed first of last year.
1t is only fair to state that the school
board and the citizens at the scfiool
meeting co-operated most heartily in
bringing about these salutary results.

Several unusual and heavy financial
burdens had TO be met during the
year. The snow fall was unprecc-
denied. and was of such 4 nature that
it drifted with the least wind. While
our streets and highways were kept
in most excellent condition as COM
pared with other cities and towns the
cost was at least $4,000 in excess of
the expense of a normal year and ap-
proximately 100000 in excess of the
preceding year. There was also an in
crease of $14,725.20 in the state tax.
Early in the year the finance commit
tee discovered that there was a sub
stantial difference between the books
of tho city and those of the school
board. This was brought to the at
tention of the citizens at the annual
school meeting with the result that
John $. Everett was appointed as ati-
ditor TO represent the city and Roy
l.. Wardwell to represent the board.
The report of these auditors revealed
that during the years since the in
ception of the school board the city
had used funds of the board to the
amount of $7,e4L43. That on the
other hand the board. after being
given credit for the foregoing amount,
and without taking into consideration
certain unpaid bills and expenses for
the month OF March, had overdrawn
its appropriations $9.C33O5. The
finance committee felt that these de-
iciencics should be met and this feel
ing was shared by the citizens at the
annual school meeting. Accordingly
special appropriation of $7,241.43
was made by the city and $9,s33O5
by the citizens ut the, school meeting
for this purpose. 1t developed also
that. following the old custom. the
estimates of the board were based on
carrying many Of the expenditures for
the last month of the school year over
into the new, year. The citizens.
very wisely. / believe, decided that
All expenditures for the year should
be paid out Of the appropriation for
that year, and appropriated $4,000,
over and above the estimate. to take
care of the additional expenses for the
month OF December. This resulted in
total appropriation for schools over
what would naturally have been an
ticipatcd for the period of S53.S74.4S.
This burden was in part relieved by
changing the end of the school year
from March 31st TO December 3Ist
this making the school year coincide
with the financial year of the city
Notwithstanding this relief the total
appropriation for schools was $12.-
