$21,42070 RUN
OUR CITY THE
.
. FISCAL YEAR
Our Village Board Says it
Will Take This Amount
To Run the City for the
Year 1910.
,
WHO GETS THE MONEY ?
We notice in last weck's/Repiib-
lican the following estimate for .
expenses of the village of Valen-
tine for the fiscal year 1910 :
.
Pumping water . . . . . . . . . ' . § 2500 :
Lighting streets and expen-
ses for electric light and
water. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1800
Repairs and extension on
water system . . . . . . . . . . . 3000
Incidentals. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2500
Salaries. . . . . . . . . . . . . . : . . . . 5120
Interest and sinking fund. . . 6500
Total . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . § 21420
The people of Valentine would
like to know why it takes so much
money to run this town.
We have known that our taxes
were too high here for years and
have tried often to get the village
board to give an itemized list of
their expenditures , but have never
yet succeeded in getting them to
divulge their secrets. .
Now , the people of this town
-vWoulcLlike/to know where their
money is going , and why it costs
more to run this town than other
towns of bimilar size and con-
. . . . .
-
ditions ?
Who gets all this $21.42m ?
We would lilse a list of last
year's expenses and who got the
money.
The'books are open to inspec-
tion , to be sure , but when and
where ?
We prefer a statement of these
expenses so that we can print it
for everybody to see without hav-
ing to quarrel or fight or appear
suspicious that something is
wrong.
We know the people have a
right to know what is going on
and being done. Our taxes are
high and have to be paid.
It is not asking too much' to
have this statement of expenses
printed in TIlE VALENTINE DEMO
CRAT. We'll print it.
Some years ago the editor of
The Republican realized that the
people were interested in a state-
ment being published showing
what was being done by the town
board. He published a few items
*
when first elected but the state-
ment of receipts and disburse
ments are most interesting and
would make good reading matter
if given in detail.
THE DEMOCRAT will publish
them' FREE of cost , if they will
furnish us with the statement. It
should be done.
Many other cities do this and
their expenses are . not so large
nor is there so ' little done.
§ 5120 for salaries the coming
.
"
year.
0' . Who is to get all that money
without earning its ? with 2500
thrown in as good measure for in-
cidentals. '
§ 3000 for repairs and exten-
sions on the water system.
. - § 2500 for pumping water.
. - § 1800 for light and water.
W. S. Barker , Dr. A. N. Comp-
, ton , J. T. Keeley , E. C. Daven-
port and Howard Layport are the
members of our village board t and
they want to spend 21420 to run
the city this coming year. .
- D'oes it look right ?

Junior Normal Notes.
The Misses : Spratt and Hobson
visite ; l the normal one day last
.
week. .
Misses Vera Shannon and Ger-
aldine Tracewell enrolled last
Monday week.
.
Roscoe Ward , a former student
in the normal , was a pleasant call-
er one day last week.
Hon. Joseph C. Sparks of the
state department has been . ap-
pointed } 1 president of the Chadron
state normal. He is well known
to many of the people in this pa ; t
of the state , wlTo arc well pleased
with the selection.
.
Sunday ' , afternoon , June 19 , a
pleasant hour was spent in the
park reading. All . normal students
and others interested are asked to
join this reading club. Last Sun-
day selections were read from Ald-
rich which proved very entertain
ing and instructive.
The students had a treat Wed-
nesday morning of last when Supt.
Bettenga gave a number of ex
periments with their explanation
in . physics. As a closing one the
students formed : a circuit about
the room - , joining hands , and -re
ceived .shocks . . . from an electric
machine. There were numerous
exclamations of wonder , empha
sized by energetic movement and
gesture. It was an interesting
half hour. ' .
"What has the community a
right to expect of the teacher and
what has it a right not to ex-
pect , " was ably disdussed ' by ; Rev.
Baker before the normal one morn-
: ing "lastsiweek.rJhe : ? speaker. , dis r
.
cussed the negative side first and
maintained . that it could not be ex-
pected that the teacher be well in-
formed on every subject ; could
not be expected that the teacher
please pupils , nor make brilliant
students of all ; can not be expect-
ed that the teacher will follow all
the directions of all the ex-school
teachers in the community ; cannot
be expected to control all- pupils
that cannot controlled at home ;
the community cannot expect the
highest talent for the lowest wag
es. Mr. : Baker affiirmed that the
community had a right to expect
that the teacher be prepared for
her work by being well informed ;
that the teacher cast a good moral
influence ; that she have \ . concen-
tration ; that she must be energet-
ic. It was a splendid address ,
filled with wholesome and inspir-
ing thoughts.
