GOOD SHOWING M ADE BY CITY
 IN PAST YEAR
Despite Reduced Revenues, City Council Shows
 Material Savings Made

A statistical picture of the local city administration, presented in a consolidated balance sheet to the City Council last night by Auditor w. A. Habernal, showed a sharp decline in revenues for the year just ending, corresponding curtailment in expenditures, re- duction in public indebtedness and a net cash balance of $4,59637, as compared to $631 IS at the cor responding date last year.
 T think you have really &C., complished a remarkable work dur | ing the year. declared MT. Hab- ernal in presenting his informal report of the examination of the cityls records. He compMmented City Clerk H. R. Shepard on the manner in winch he kept his ac- counts and other receipts which, he said: Are in Al shape"
 Policy Is Justified
 The program of permanent street improvements and sewer re- placement carried on by Mayor Judson and Councilmen during the past several years is beginning to bear fruit. the Auditor pointed out. Owing to this program, dur ing the past year expenditures for repairs to streets and sewers were heavily reduced as compared to former years, and next year, he added. there should be further cuts in this item.
 Two years ago" he illustrated. bills for lumber amounted to be- tween $500 and s2.O00 per month. Last year this was slashed to be- tween $500 and S400 monthly
 If may say a word of cau- ton, would advise the Council to continue its conservative pol icy of keeping its expenditures less than it's current revenues at this time. Conditions in the States continue unsettled and no one can say just what is going to happen. It is my own belief that there will be no material improvement for a year and a ha1f.' he said in con tclusion.

DOCTOR IS RELEASED BY KIDNAPER
Extremes Meet in HindenbWg-Hitler Clash on April 10; German Voters Must Nuke Clear Gut
 Decision in Presidential Fight m Republic

BERLIN, April 2.-Like waves upon rocky headland, storm troops of Adolf Hitler's national socialists are hurling themselves afresh upon the seemingly impreg- nable position of President Paul von Hindenburg.
 As in the first ballot of the 1882 presidential election on March IS, the second voting on April 10 is expected to give the citizens of the Reich a choice between the per- sonalities and policies of two men.
 What other candidate or candi- dates may venture into the strug- gle probably again will be akin only to sand spits against the ris- ing tide of the 'nazis."
 On the one hand is an 84-year- old soldier, made over by seven years of bitter struggle into an astute politician.
 On the other is a fiery, spec tacular orator, little more than half his opponents age, who rag es and storms about "the sins of the second Reich"
 Must Endure
 Hindenburg reminds the voters that Germany must endure.
 Hitler shouts that endurance has ceased to be a virtue.
 A sense of duty, sternly en- forced, animates the aged field marshal.
 A desire to reconstruct the proud disciplined Germany of the pre- war days, urges on the younger candidates quest of power. ...-....-.., That quest, say Hitler's bitter est opponents, would stop at noth- ing, not even at civil war. They quote the pronouncement of Karl SeVering, the Prussian official who ordered recent widespread raids on nazi headquarters and said docu- ments had been seized, showing that the Hitler forces planned to march on every important Ger man city if the ballot went against them.
 Retort of Hitlerites
 The Hitlerites retort, in the lan- guage of their leader, that Herr Severing was victim of sheer panic" and that the raids were a badly conceived political man. euver.
 The mental agility, physical we'll being and political authority of the venerable President add to the confidence of his supporters. The nazis address him as "old man and insinuate that he is little more than rubber stamp" for Chan cellof Heinrich Bruening.
 But the manner in which the jimped into the very thick of the campaign, for the first ballot con founded his accusers.
 Recall Prophecy
 In this connection there has been recalled a prophecy of pr Gustav Stressemann, the late For elgn Minister, who initiated the foreign policy of reconciliation which the Hitler forces would among other things, tear down Shortly before his death pr Stressemann said:
 Mark my words: President vorl Hindenburg will remain at the head of the German nation untl his death. There is one appea. which he cannot resist, the fac' that Emperor Wilhelm I remained at the head of nation until ht was more than ninety.
 William I is von Hindenburg' great hero. What the emperor dit 1 he will do."
