C.. A. Glover Discusses
City Business AT Rotary

In an interesting discussion of City
Business, G.. A. Glover, Lexington City
Clerk, outlined the present financial
condition, city improvements and many
important facts about the operation Of
the City Of lexington at The Rotary
Club luncheon Friday. Mr.. Glover
stated that the present bonded in
debtedness is $3.50 0 as compared to
$S7 900 thirty years ago. He compared
figures with those of 80 and 40 years
ago.
"City's present bonded debt began in
the year 1904 with an issue of $25, 900
to build a white school building, none
of which matured until 1884 and in
1912 an issue of $50, 900 was floated for
construction of a Water and Sewer
system. Total of all bonds issued in
last 81 years totals 1851 900; during
past 80 years bonds in amount of
$308, 900 have been retired, leaving net
bonded debt today only SAB, 1000" Mr..
Glover said.
"The smallest debt of $25 900 in 1904
compares with the largest of $780, 900 in
1928. Present debt comprises $37, 900
School bonds and S $4,000 in Street I'M
provement bonds.
Highest assessment of property oc-
Cured in 1928 for a total of 81 900, 900
compares with present assessment of
81 400 ,000-a loss of $500. 900 in the tax
rolls. This loss explains why the tax
levy today is 20 mills instead of 21k
and the operating expense of the City
today is $4,000 a year less than in 1929.
At the same rate of expenditure for 1929
our levy today would have to be 35 mills.
Complete cost of the new City Build
ing of $4,000 includes the lot, heating
plant, furniture and represents an in
vestment of Sc, 900 of funds from Water
profits and $500 Federal funds-not
one penny of tax money is involved in
this property.
"City's property holdings represents
an investment of 1857, 900 comprised of
school buildings, water plant, sewer
system, City Hall, Community House,
concrete bridges"

McAdams Stages Rally
To Beat Durant

A touchdown counted in the early
stages of the first quarter here last
Friday gave the Durant pigskinners
plenty of confidence, but they were
unable to stem the advances of a victory
hungry McAdams eleven, who registered
a - to z decision to hand the locals
their second conference loss of the 1912
season.
1t was a case of lack of experience
and manpower on the part of the Tigers
who yielded numerous yardage to their
foes on running plays and who had ap-
parent goalward marches stifled on at
least two occasions by disastrous fun
bles.
In the final period the lads of Coach
M. b. Holmes were on the Bulldogs 25-
yard stripe when the elusive pigskin
cost the Tigers about Is yards to ruin
a golden opportunity to tie or win the
contest.
Roy "Skeeter" Williams dashed across
the goal after a 32-yard gallop on a
spinner for the homelings' lone marker
and took a pass from dub" King for
the extra point.
The Attala crew stormed back, how
ever. to annex a counter, with Poole
driving to pay dirt from the 2-yard
line, in the second ~stanza, after a march
of 81 yards. Odom p~lacekicked the
seventh point.

suited in the visitors second touchdown

ally bulling his way over from the 8

Sails KOsciuskO
Play Friday Night

Two Attala county football squads,
Sails and Koseiusko, grudge rivals OF
long standing, will collide head-on Fri
day night on the Kosciusko gridiron in
one of the outstanding prep battles of
the state and one that can easily de-
eide the championship of the Big Black
district, held for many years by the
Whippets.
This week Coaches Robert Carter Of
the Wildcats and Walter Scales of the
other group are polishing their offense
and defense as much as possible and
will unleas everything in the bag for
a win.
of their captain, Sam Stonestreet, who
suffered a broken leg in a recent tilt
at Louisville, but the school has always
had a very able corps of reserves who
have filled the breech commercially.
Sails is as yet u~nconquered in loop
play but has three scoreless deadlocks
to mar her escutcheon, while the Whip
pets have brushed aside Alderman and
Ethel handily. The former beat Acker-
man 6 to o. engaged Kilmichael, French
Camp and Eupora in 90 affairs, all
circuit contests, and toppled Forest IL
to 0 and Macon 21-13.
In a pair of encounters last season
the teams played a scoreless tie in the
first engagement, then Kosciusko over
powered their foe, Is to 0, in the de-
Gliding tussle.
Interest is at high pitch and another
top crowd is expected to witness the
fray.
