As ihe time diaws near for the

become inquisitive about the city
finances. In lormer years the oitv
has had from $1OUO to $1,400 each
year from saloon license to help
meet the expenses , Quite a few of
our citizens questioned whether thu
city could bu tun without creating
a debt equal to thu IOHH of rev nue
