REPORTS SHOW CITY
Lira IN INCOME

funding and taxation bill, parts of
whi a have not as yet been made
effective. This recommendation
was unanimously accepted by coun
cil, and the entire report receiv
ed and filed.
Mayor Poole called attention of
council to the budget figures as
furnished him by the City Clerk
and Treasurer Dudley Gatewood
These statistics show, he told coun
cil, that expenses in all depart
ments of the government during
the past year exceeded figures con
tained in the budget adopted last
January by only $245.75. This dis
crepancy it was stated by the may
or, is expected to be cared for dur
ing the audit of the city’s book-,
which will be started this after
noon, with every department and
each account to be thoroughly
searched by an accredited account
ant.
In preparing the 1923 budget,
Mayor Poole ’said, expenditures ag
gregating $815,760,000 were anti
i cipated, with an estimated 1 rev
| enue from all sources for general
■ purposes amounting to $88,383.96.
I The estimated revenue was consid-
I erably reduced, however, through
la decline in taxable values approxi-
I imating $85,000.00 resulting in a
falling off in revenue available--for
I general purposes of approximate
ly $400.00 .to $500.00, which; ac
j counts for the discrepancy be
tween expenditures . authorized in
the budget and the aflfcuai income
coming into the city treasury. The
total loss in revenue for all pur
poses, including school, bond and
floating debt funds, Mayor Poole
said, was somewhere between sl.-
800.00 and $1,900.
Notwithstanding this loss in an
ticipated revenue, each of the de->
partments, except that or jgen?ral
government, received its allotted
income, Mayor Poole said, - leaving
the entire revenue loss to be de
ducted from funds appropriated
for general purposes. In addition,
one item of of estimated income,
viz., police court fines, which was
placed at $1,000.00 in preparing
the budget, actually brought in con
siderably less than that amouptj, al
though the estimate was based , up
on $1,600.00 derived from that
source during 1921.
In addition to these losses in rev
enue, as well as certain expendi-1
tures which became necessary dur-'
ing the year, and which had not I
THURSDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 127J92 3
been included in the budget, May-J
’or Poole expressed the opinion taat
I when final auditors figures a- <
! available, it will be shown that tn
city government during 1923
held ;.11 expenditures within tn
-5 mill tax basis upon which the an
nual budget is based.
One interesting fact brought t";
the attention of council by AWel ’|
man Carswell, was a reduction o ,
little more than $16,000.00 ei co
ed in the city’s floating indebted-,
ness during the year, ant the i
ment that with the Collection ot a.,
taxes due for 1923 that t l ’is sum
will be further increased to ap
proximately $27,000.00. ,
This reduction in floating indebt
: edmess, bringing as it does an ae
-1 companying reduction in interc.-i
I charges, was accomplished, Aldci
m;-.n Carswell states, through the
operation of the lace law estrnT
lishing the city debt commission, of
which he is Chairman.
Total receipts through the opera
| tion of this law, Aledrman Cars
well informed council have been to
date exactly $18,537.83, which
imount has been paid over to the
commission by City Clerk and
Treasurer Gaetwood. Os the total
revenue received by the commis
sion, Aiderman Carswell an
nounced $16,465.36 has been paid
out in the liquidation of past due,
interest-'bearing indebtedness, as
contemplated in the Pace act. This
leaves a balance on hand of exact-,
•ly $2,072.47, which sum is being
i held by the commission for distri 1
i bution among the city’s creditors
|in equitable manner.

COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores
Its Natural Color and
Lustre At Once
Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul
phur recipe at home, though, is trouble
some. An easier way is to get the
ready-to-use preparation improved by
the addition of other ingredients a
large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores,
known as “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound,” thus avoiding a lot of
muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful ap
pearance and attractiveness. By dark
ening your hair with Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, be
cause it does it so naturally, so evenly.
You just dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
■ time; by morning all gray hairs have
' disappeared. After another application
I or two your hair becomes beautifully
i dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and yor
I appear years younger.
