-A Suggestion For
Better City Roads
How that we have our streets grad
ed, would it not be benellcial to drag
them regularly? This takes money.
"but it pays, to keep them dragged. If
lha Commercial Club of our city, or
the City Council would buy about a
dozen light drags and distribute them
aver the town, would not the owners
of automobiles hitch them to their
oara, after rains, aud drive over the
Streets. TheBe drags could be left at
certain places and owners of cars could
lako their turn at using them over cor
tain districts. 'Hie cutting of weeds
and dragging of our streets is u great
ielp to tho appearand) of u town, Is
this suggestion worth investigating?

is to securo accurate data regarding
tlie state's Income and expenditures
from every source and for all purposes.
The government classification of in
come aloue has tOS 'divisions and sub.

According to the tabulated statement,

state board of equalization, the costor;
assessing tho state of Nebraska aK
cjrtifled by the several county assess
ors is S214, 8122.03, with ScottslUulT and

tha first tlmo in the history of the
state that the cost of assessing hns
beeu known.
The State Auditor
State Auditor Win. II. Smith, says
the Lincoln Daily Star, believes that
campaign pledges of economy and
efficiency meant something, has just
given a forceful demonstration of what
C in be accomplished in that direction
when an officer and his assistants set
out to do their work as conscientious
ly as they would In a private business.
Announcement was made by Mr. Smith
Wednesday that every county treasury
in Nebraska, ninety-three in number,
has been examined once this year, in a
little less than eight months' time.
The last examination was completed
at Pawnee City on Tuesday, so that
the month of September starts with a
clean slate.
For a number of yearB Mr. Smith's
nredecessors in the state auditor's.
office have been asking the legislature j
to give the department another exam
iner, claiming that two could not dot
the work. Formerly the examiners'!
did not attempt to examlueall county
treasuries each year, but during the
1013-14 blennlnm Auditor Howard's
examiners succeeded in getting over
the whole state. Now the state audit
oi 'd olllce goes the Howard administra
tion one better by finishiug the job In
seven months and three weeks. Audit
or Smith will Immediately start ono of
his examiners, J. J. Mohouey, to mak
ing another check on some of the
treasurers, but not In the same order
us before. Examiner F. A. Stech will
tn'ce a two weeks' vacation and then
resume his work. Mr. Mahoney has
already had his vacation.
The two examiners wei'e helped by
State Accountant DeFnince, who
checked over the accounts of three
county treasuries. Itesldes doing this
and performing his regular duties, Mr.
DoFrauce lias also examined nine out
of twelve companies doing business in
Nebraska and will get around to tho
others before long. It was formerly
the custom to hire un extra man for
this work.
The returns from the assessors of
the btate on April 1st to the secretary
of the state board of equalization,
show among other items the following
listed for taxation at assessed valua
tions as follows:
