' "'" ' l"J".-z:. - " City Finances; ., It will be of interest to " our citizens to lenrn that not for n number of years has the financial condition of the city b on so satisfactory. There is not only not nn Unpaid outstanding warrant against the city, but in the strong box of the treasury ihere reposes about $30,000, representing balances in the s?verrl funds. This has been accom plished with a levy of four mills loss in 1911 than in 1010. It is evident that the men who are in churge of the city's affairs the mayor and council as well as other officials are not lax in busi nessmethods, but rather that they are conducting the city's business with the same carefulness that, they conduct their private affairs. That the city is on a cash basis is of binefit to everyone who has claims for labor or merchandise; it means that when the claim is presented, if correct, is promptly allowed and the claimant receives a warrant which he is not com polled o discount. This Is different than in former yenrs when a cash war rant was an exception and not the rule. This satisfactory condition of the treasury follows unusual improvements in the streets in the way of grading and crosswalks and culverts; there has been no robbing of Peter to pay Paul. Having thus proven themselves ef ficient ns well as painstaking servants, i3 not Mayor Patterson and the mem bers of the council entitled to more con fidence and commendation than we, as a people, givo them? They are working for our best interests not by reason of tne meagre salary they receive but be cause they are interested in the welfare of the town. .'

Lock and leased for a period of years by the Davis. Auto Co., iB now com pleted and the Davis Co. has taken formal .possession. The building is a credi.t.to thj towrf in fact thoso who have' visited the Omaha garages say there is none in that city that is. so well and nicely finished. In dimenBions.it is 66x126 constructed of hollow tile covered with stucco. Partitioned off in the rear end is a repair shop 20x66 supplied with power drills, lathes and other machinery and on the northwest corner is an office and store room 22x40. The remainder of the .floor is used for the storage of autos, there1 being sufficient room for fifty or sixty cars. The interior is nicely finished; steel' ceiling, cement floor throughout, and the Woodwork painted a dark oakt In the basement is a large heating plant, and the radiators, which aro placed on the walls, are bronzed as are all the exposed steam pipes. The system of electric lighting is very complete, including a large overhead sign on the southwest corner of the building. The room is well lighted and ventilated by windows and there are entrances on both tho west front and south side. The system pro vided for washing cars is very com plete. Toilet rooms for both men. and women are provided; in fact it 'would appear td. the casual observer that nothing that' would add to the con venience of a garage has been omitted. The building complete cost nearly eleven thousand, dollars. In putting up such, a modern building, Mr.. Lock has done a credit to himself and the town. Had he less enterprise and pride, he might have expended five instead of eleven thousand. ' " , Lace Curtains. Odd Lots at Attractive Prices.
