GIVES HISTORY
OF CITY BONDS
ISO SINKING FUND TO PAY THE
$193,000 DUE
.Increase In Taxes Necessary if City
Js in Meet Obligations
. v Already Incurred
City Manager N. A. Kemmish, who
ha3 been on the job every minute of
the time since he assumed charge of
the affairs of the city of Alliance, this
eek drops a small bombshell. Since
.he assumed office, he has been en
.tlesvoring in every way t .jet the af
fairs of the city on a business lw-is.
He has found time, in tbe midst of
reorganizing every department of the
city's lusuitss, to tabulate tin variour
bond , issues that are still due, and
.what Tie ha3 discovered is startling, to
. say the least. -
Mr. Kemmish has prepared a table
. showing the present status of the
; 'buTrJed indebtedness of Alliance. He
T has also worked out the approximate
-amount of taxes per $1,000 of assessed
'Valuation, that each bond issue means
to each taxpayer. There are at pres
eni Tnearly $200,000 in bonds coming
di.e, for which absolutely no provision
"'has been made, in the way of a sink
ing fund, to pay. The various city
ouncils have made levies, but un
fortunately these have not been suffi
cient to pay even the interest on some
of the issues.
Mr. Kemmish, being a business man,
loes not hesitate to make his recom
mendations. There are two courses
spen. The matter can be delayed, as
Jhas !been done in the past, and when
j the bonds fall due, refunding bonds
.can be voted to care for them. This
: merely postpones the evil day of pay
;ment, and incidentally makes the
..amount to be paid sometime larger
than ever. The other method, and this
lis the one favored by the city manager,
.Is to set aside enough money in a
sinking fund to meet' these obliga
tions when they come due. This means
higher taxes for the next eight years;
but it means a clean slate at the end
jot ihit time, . .. ... -
Sphere is little doubt but that Mr.
TKemmish's researches into the records
will start a discussion which will bring
out public sentiment in the matter.
City Manager Kemmish has issued
the following statement in connection
with his tabulation of the city's bonded
indebtedness:
"We have heard a number of com
plaints about high taxes. -A few peo
ple are always ready to complain
about them. The majority, howover,
nvant to do what is right and realise
.that these improvements mean higher
4axcs. They want to know what our
tax money is being used for and that
it is being used efficiently. It is our
policy to let you know how things
"are going and what we are doing with
.this money.
"We have prepared a table showing
tour bonded indebtedness and giving a
history of our city bond3 showing how
-various issues now stand. This table
also gives you some idea about what
each bond issue means to U3 in the
-way of taxes each year for each ac
tual $1,000.00 worth of property
.owned. These, general city obliga
tions or bonds are what we call capi
tal or fixed charges. These are a
"mortgage on all of the propeity in the
ntire city. These fixed charges do
' not include any special district assess
mpnts such as paving, sewer, side
walks, grades, etc. Neither, does this
jvnn include anv of the running or
npralinc exnenses of the various de
partments of the city such as parks,
.schools, public utilities, etc. We hope
to give you this a little later.
0 "It will be seen from this table that
we only have left about eight years
in which to lay aside a sinking fund
if we are to pay the $195,000 in bonds
coming due. During the past twelve
vears or ever since these bonds have
Leen issued, unfortunately, outside f
the school bonds, there has teen bat
little laid aside as a sinking fund
-with which to pay these bonds when
they fall due. In, the past two or
three vears an appropriation has been
made by the city councils but not
enough has been appropriated or come
in, in the way of taxes, to even pay
- the interest on some of these issue?
faying nothing of paying on the prin
cipal. .
"This is very unfortunate indeed
coming at this time when we ought to
be able to reduce taxes rather than to
increase them. The longer this sink
ing fund is put off the worse it is go
in? to be and the more it is going to
ost the taxpayers. It has been put
off too long already. Whenever a bond
is sold there should be an annual
linking fund created if the bond is to
be Daid when due. When we let ten
r twelve vears go by without creat
inr anv sinking fund whatever it is
unfortunate. There are only two
things now for U3 to do. These bonds
tnnKt h either paid when due or else
we must vote under present conditions
$115.00 in refunding bonds at a higher
of interest to pay off each $100.00
' u Tifiw owe in present bonds. This
anna u'milri increase our present in
riKtP.1nKs more than $20,000.00 with
mr.thine whatever to show for it It
would increase our taxes $2,000.00 per
ear more than we are now paying
CITY MANAGER
Manyl
- . v.
fail to realize that every new.
fcl.000.00 bond issued means $100.00
more in taxes each year for a period
of twenty years.
"The water and light bonds should
be taken care of out of the earning.,
of these departments. They should,
however, get pay for the street lights,
sewerage pumping," water for ,sewer
flushing, hydrant rental for fire pro
tection, etc., out of taxation the proper
way. There is only one correct way
to do anything. It may not always be
the easiest way, however.
"It was very unfortunate that con
ditions perhaps caused by the war
were such that we were compelled to
issue $47,000.00 refunding bonds in
1919. These were to take up as we
understand this amount of outstand
ing city warrants which had accumu
lated during the period the expendi
tures of the city were more than the
amount appropriated or received from
taxation with which to pay these ex
penses. Unfortunately this bond is
sue increased our taxes $4,020.00 per
year for the next eighteen years over
what they would have been.
"The only way we can hope to even
tually reduce our taxes is by paying
out bonded indebtedness, The only
way we can pay these bonds Is to raise
this money by taxation ana Dy reduc
ing our expenditures wherever possi
ble. This means higher taxes for the
next few years than we have had
along this line. As we pay off these
bonds our taxes will begin to come
down and not before. All that we
put off paying now will have to be
paid, later with interest added.
"someone will say that tuture gen
erations should pay a part of these
bonds. Perhaps this is true in some
cases and to some extent but we can
not expect them to pay it all. We
should at least take care of the things
we are using up and not expect our
children to pay for them.
"The credit oi our city is m nrst
class shape and we should guard it
and endeavor to keep it so by adopt
ing now a definite policy based on
sound principles, and then stick to our
policy. We should plan for the fu
ture welfare of our cjtizens and not
simply for those who are here today."
ELKS TO HOLD
OPENHPUSEFOR
GAMPFERE GIRLS
BENEFIT DANCE IS SCHEDULED
FOK FRIDAY EVENING
Entertainment for Everyone Promised
by Committee in Charge of
the Festivities
Friday evening of this week, Alli
ance lodge No. 961. B. P. O. E., will
open its club house to the public or
such of the public which has kicked
in with one simoleon for the Campfire
G'wW benefit dance. End that includes
several hundred Alliance citizens and
one of the biggest evenings imaginable
has been planned.
There will be entertainment of half
a dozen different kinds, calculated to
appeal to every person who has cot
hold of a ticket. Originally the event
was planned as a dance, but the sales
of tickets was so brisk that the com
mittee soon saw that other entertain
ment was needed, and it has been pro
vided. The entire club house will be
available the gymnasium, the buffet,
the card room, the billiard room, the
lounge and the dance floor. If there
are more dancers than can be ac
commodated at one time, the music
will continue a couple of hours later
than u?ual in order to make up for it.
The committee hasn't announced all
of the stunts that will be put on or
pulled off. but they have made ar
rangements to make the affair a regu
lar community party, and the Elks
never fall down on this sort of a stunt.
The Elks lodge a few weeks ago
voted to sponsor the Campfire Girls,
who have been working all winter,
against rather discouraging odds, en
deavoring to raise money to pay for a
camping trip in the Black Hills this
summer. Ihe party rriuay evening,
for which the girls have been selling
tickets, will raise a big share of the
funds. Practically everybody con
nected with the entertainment has do
nated their services, and prospects are
that the largest share of the money
needed will be realized. If it isn't
enough, the Elks will think up some
thing else.
Ticket sales among the gins nave
been augmented by hanging up three
cash prizes to go to the Campfire
queens making the largest number oi
ticket sales. Several other organiza
tions, the Knights of Columbus, the
Lions club and the Boy scouts, nave
taken. blocks of tickets and are as
sisting in rounding up the dollars, it
will be a big night, and everybody is
urged to save it for the community
party.
The Boy Scout band of Chadron has
been ensraged bv the chamber or com
merce to play in Alliance the three
days of the race meet, June 15, 16 and
17. A large delegation is expected
from Chadron. Committees have been
at work making all arrangements for
the meet, and, prospects are fine for
the most successful event of the kind
in the history of the city's commercial
organization. . -

SUDDENLY AFTER
RESCUING CHILD
ALLIANCE MAN SAVES THREE-YEAR-OLD
FROM DROWNING
Death Delieved to Have Resulted
From Heat and Shock of
Plunge Into Water
John J. Vance, sixty-four years of
age, died suddenly about 4 ; o'clock
Friday afternoon, death being due to
cerebral hemorrhage. Mr. Vence was
working on a cement sidewalk for
George Eckhart at Sixth and Platte
avenue Friday afternoon. A number
of children were playing about an ex
cavation which had been made for a
basement on the lot adioining; The
recent rains had filled the excavation
with water to a depth of about four
feet. The three-year-old son f Mr.
and Mrs, John Moxon fell into the
water. ' -,"-j-',f r-i
Mr. Vance rescued the child froni
the water and then went home and
changed his clothing. He then hurried
back to his work, an the cement was
setting very rapidly owing to the heat
of the afternoon sun. Shortly" after
returning to his work he wa3 found
dead, and it is believed the shock of
the plunge into the water, togeiher
with the heat of the day, were thejintt
mediate causes that contributed to; the
bursting of the blood vessel in ! the
brain that caused immediate death.
John Jackson Vance was aged C3
years 8 months and ,24 days at the
time of his death. He was married
to Harriet Light at Wichita, Ka?.,
September 6, 1888, and they made
their home in Wymore, Neb., until
twelve years ago, when they . moved
to Alliance, where they had since
made their home. Three children were
born to Mr. and Mrs. Vance: Ray
Vance, who died at eleven months and
is buried in the Wymore cemetery;
Lura Vance Rowe (Mrs. F. O. Rowe)
of Alliance, and Jay H. Vance of this
city. Mr. Vance was the third child
of a family of seven children, find

have already passed on, he is the" first

Congressman Reavis took for his
fsubject "The Ideal of Service," and ex-
plained how this ideal on the Tart of
the individual resulted in the advance
ment of the race. The lure of Ne
braska, the speaker said, did not con
sist in the clearness of its atmosphere,
the brilliance of its skies, the abun
dance of its herds and crops, but in
its people. He told of a recent ban
quet in New York City, where he told
the New Yorkers that the real luei
exchange was to be found where the
miners were digging in the earth for
coal, and that the real grain exchange
is in Nebraska, where men work in
the fields from the first rays of dawn
until the sun sinks behind the hills.
New York City could not exist, he
said, without the laborers in the mines
and the farmers who planted and har
vested the grain crops. Without them,
the largest city in the country would
have grass covered streets. The tax
payers of Nebraska, he said, make
sacrifices in order that their children
and the children of others may receive
an education, in order to be equipped
for citizenship. I
The republic of the united Mates,
the speaker said, is ."God's youngest
and be.st government the nope oi tne
world. A government such as ours
cannot rise above the level of its elec
torate; hence the need for education of
ur vouth. ' He declares that the men
elected to office in any capacity were
the servants of the men who elected
them.
Mr. Reavis devoted considerable at
tention to the Smith-lowner bill,
which has drawn considerable opposi
tion" from certain quarters. He said
that in his opinion, such legislation
was absolutely essential to the welfare
of the country. Ihe operation or tne
draft law in the world war. he de
clared, has opened his' eyes. Out of
the 2,400,000 men in the arait, neany
800.000 could not read or write in any
language. One out of every three men
composing the national army was an
illiterate. The purpose or the bmitn
Towner bill is to stimulate education
in the various states, and will tend
especially to the complete assimilation
and Americanization or the vast ior-eign-born
element in the country's
uonulation.
Mr. Reavis stated that while there
are more illiterates in the south than
in the west, there is a greater percent
age of foreign-born population in the
west. In New York city alone, he said,
there are a million and a half people
who cannot read or write the hnglish
language, and are compelled to depend
on publications in a foreign tongue for
all their information. "America has
their body, but the fatherland has
their souls." was the way he expressed
it. Under the Smith-Towner bill, tax
payers will pay for education, not of
some other part of the country than
their own, but for the whole country.
The entire population is Americanized,
and illiteracy eliminated, he declared.

They met at 7:30 at the hall and
marched in a body to the church where j
half of the build ng was reserved for
them which was promptly filled. A
special song was sung by four men.
A short contest In singing was put
on by the pastor between the Odd Fel

Benediction, Rev. A. J. Kearns,
In a brief address, Judge Corcoran
paid a tribute to the veterans of th
three wars, givirig especial honor t
the Civil war veterans, of whom thera
were only a scant half dozen left. Tho
men whu served in the later wars, he
raid, had endured hardships, but these,
were as nothing" compared with thos
who had undergone tne rigors of war
in the days when there was no Hospital
service and almost no organized means
for caring for the comfort of th
soldiery.
Mr. Corcoran called attention to th
high aims and ideals of the United
States in its various wars. The United
States, he said, was the first true con
stitutional government He spoke at
some length on the con:-titution of the
United States, and-the heritage that
the veterans of the various wars had
preserved for the people.,
The speaker told of the menace of
bolshevism and predicted that the next
great struggle would be from the
i mles within the country. His remark
I drew considerable applause from the,
1 1 audience. He urged that a campaign
of eMUcsituM find Americanization be
carried oil, and thnt every effort be-
made to make true Americana out ot
the foreign-born element of our popu
lation. He endorsed the Use of the
American language for those living ia
America. L
Following the program at the Im
perial, the ex-soldiers marched to
Tenth and Box Butte, where various
citizens furnished cars- to take them
to the cemetery, 'twelve memorial
pine trees were planted with appro
priate ceremonies, Rev. Stephen J. '
Epler being in charge of the services.
The graves of the following soldier
