Auditors Report
Gives EI Centre
Clean Health Bill
Spending Exceeds City's
Earnings But Cash
Left in Accounts

Ell Centre spent more dur
ing the last fiscal year than
it took in, but still closed the
year with a healthy bank
account, according to an au-
ditor's report Thursday which gave
the city a clean bill of financial
health.
The report, submitted Wednesday
night to the city council by F.. NJ.
Robinson of Riverside, representing
Crenshaw, Diehl and Edwards, ac-
countants, showed no discrepancies
"We found the books in good
condition except for a few minor
clerical errors Robinson said.
Total receipts for the fiscal year
ending June 80 were 1869 ,604 and
total disbursements 1899, ,721, a diff
ference of slightly more than $780,
900. Bank deposits June 30 were
$148, ,887.98, although more than
two thirds of this sum is earmarked
for street assessment and bond
payment funds. Since then, more
than $4,000 has been paid out for
bond retirement.
Included in receipts were delin-
puent tax collections of $9,420 and
payment under the ten year plan
of S8,273. Payments were received
of $15,12 for personal property
taxes. Balance outstanding in de-
linauent taxes was $23, 3,459.
Total income on major items OF
revenue moved steadily upward dur
ing the last four years, the report
showed. Items, including general
taxes, licenses, city fines, water
sales, permits, state liquor licenses
and sewer service fees, moved from
$168,504 in 1934-35 to $238,134 for
1878. The increase was mainly
restricted to general taxes.
General tax collection moved up
from $112,839 in 1934-35 to S181,-
075 Meanwhile, the percentage of
delinquency dropped from 21.60 per
cent in 1934-35 to 985 per cent.
General city functions during
the fiscal year cost $215,615. The
water plant cost $47,018, library
maintenance and building $31 ,072,
bond retirement $36,l25, interest on
general obligation bonds $24.631,
special assessment bonds and in
terest $45,258.
Several clerical changes were rec
commended by Robinson, including
a billing machine for the water
department and arrangement for
special care for traffic control funds
and alcoholic beverage funds from
the state, to conform with state
law,

P. P. Jones, Hickory police chief,
said the wound was not serious.
Goodwin and Bill Wilson escaped
when Godwin's soft words led Lula
Belle Kimel, the jailers daughter
to give up the key while her father
was away on business.
Wilson was recaptured today with
Goodwin.
Jones said Wilson surrendered
and told whe-k officers would find
Goodwin aSlAsp.
AS the city police, accompanied
by county officers, approached the
barn, Jones said, Goodwin shouted
that he would "kill anyone who
tries to take me-. In an exchange
of shots that followed Goodwin was
wounded
Goodwin had been awaiting trial
on charges of first degree burglary,
a capital offense in this state. After
escaping Jail Monday, Goodwin and
his companion commandeered a
taXicab and forced the driver to
take them to High Point, where
they left him bound and gagged.
In series of encounters at High
Point, in which the youths tried
TO obtain automobiles or money
Monday night, Donald Moss, a tex
tile worker, was shot and killed.
Police have charged Goodwin with
the killing.
Meanwhile at Lexington, muscu-
lar, ITS pound Lula Belle, the jail
er'S daughter, decided today that
she didn't want to serve so days in
Jail as penance for having been
victimized by her first boy friend
Her father, Jailer Tom Kimel
filed a $20C bond which permits
her to go free until a higher court
passes on the justice of her sem
tence for having freeG James God
win, 10, and Bill Wilson, 81, from
her fathers Jail because she was
in love with Goodwin.
Lula Belle pleaded guilty when
arraigned in county court last night
She sobbed and her parents Sobbed
during the testimony, but none of
them testified. The court sentenced
her to so days in Jail for having
freed Goodwin and to three months
for having freed Wilson. The Sec
ond sentence was suspended.

in response to a request several

Nev-Cal's proposal provides $3500

The company recommended in

at Fourth street and Ross avenue.
Additional lights of regulation clear

The 26 proposed lights in alleys
would be located at strategic points
north and south of Main street
between Fourth and Eighth streets
to permit greater police protection.
Present power bill for the city
is 1925 month, Bennington said,
and under the proposal the bill
would be raised to $503 month,
with the company caring for all
upkeep and requirements. Total il
lumination-including larger bulbs
in the present system and the addi-
tional lights-Would be raised by

After Europe's first eXplo-

ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Czechoslovakla
under a four power agreement had
avoided war, definite reaction has
set in. There are now doubts that
permanent peace has arrived.
I am personally convinced, after
following the crisis through every
phase, that the men responsible for
Europe's major nations do not place
nearly as much confidence in the
possibility of peace in our time"
as the general public did immed-
lately after the Munich conference.
Adolf Hitler convinced British
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain,
I learned from reliable sources, that
Germany is determined to become
the predominant power in Europe.
In their conversations leading up
to the partitioning of Czechoslova-
kia, the Nazi Fuehrer left absolutely
no doubt in Chamberlain mind
that the third Reich expects to
achive political, military and eco
nomic domination on the continent.
He was understood to have in

Governor for Their Aid

HELENA. - Certification to the
secretary of the treasury has been
made by the bureau of internal
revenue in the sum of $3.50, 1897. 20
as the amount to be paid into the
Montana state unemployment COM
pensation trust fund out of the 1886
pay roll excise tax offset collection,
and the item is now before the
Bureau of the Budget for inclusion
in the next deficiency appropriation
bill, according to a telegram from
Senator B. K. Wheeler received Fri
day by Barclay Craighead, chair
man of the Unemployment Compen-
sation Commission of Montana.
"This $3.50, 1912 0 represents 80 per
cent of the amount collected by the
Internal Revenue Service from
Montana employers of eight or more
workers through the excise tax of
one per cent imposed under the
Social Security Act upon pay rolls
of 1885," said Mr.. Craighead.
"As this tax was imposed during
a period when Montana was with
out an unemployment compensation
law the full amount went into the
limited States treasury without any
offset to Montana whereby it would
become available for the payment
of benefits to unemployed workers
of the state.
'In order to bring about the allo-
cation of this money to the purposes
for which it was intended a bill was
introduced and passed several
months ago, largely through the eff
lforts and influence of Senators
Wheeler and Murray and Gov. Roy
/, II. Ayers, authorizing the setting
, over to the several states of 80 pei
cent of the collections under this taS
/ made by the government prior tt
January 81, 1888.

it was contributed" concluded MI
S Craighead.
a With the receipt of this item, il
addition to the So, 10000 alread,
