to Increase Funds For Public Improvements.

For the benefit of sucn cltlsena who have but little Information at

to the system which hus been em

ployed for so many year in conducting the affairs of the city, and the present condition of city affairs, a series of articles are to appear In The Palladium. The approaching election ha focused the attention of the voters on municipal affairs, hence The Palladium believes these articles, which have been prepared after careful investigation, are timely.

In preparation for the celebration of the ninetieth anniversary of Webb Lodge, No. 24, Free and Accepted Masons, plates have been laid for five hundred at the banquet table tonight. The lodge room has been banked with palms, and the tables decorated with pink and white roses. The program or addresses, which will precede the banquet, includes the address of welcome by Earl E. Thomas, W. M of Webb Lodge; a response by Calvin W. Prather, Grand Secretary of Indiana, and remarks by Frank E. Gavin, Grand Treasurer of Indiana, and John W. Hanan, Grand Master of Indiana.

One of the principal defects in the system of government under which Richmond has been managed since it attained the rank of city, is the method employed in making annual reports on the financial condition of the municipality. It has been the system of pulling the wool over the eyes" of the patient and. for the most part, indifferent taxpayers. The financial report tor the year ending December 31. 1912. serves as an excellent medium for exposing this system. The 1912 report shows that at the close of that year there was a balance of $40.92.89 in the general fund. The bonded Indebtedness of the city at that time was -also 5194.500, of which amount $144,000 was the bonded Indebtedness of the municipal light plant, which will be paid tor In 1927 out of the sinking fund of the institution. So. in reality, the city go, eminent proper has only a bonded indebtedness amounting to $50,500. Appearances Misleading. With the general fond apparently in such a healthy state at the beginning of this year, and the bonded indebtedness so small, the average citizen -would be led .to believe that the city's financial condition was all

I that could be desired.

But 'the 1912 financial report iaus to figure in the city's three years old

indebtedness.-to . the . municipal light .

plant as an item of the general disbursements. However, this $63,706.37 indebtedness must be tsken Into consideration if the financial condition of the city at the beginning of the prevent year is to be accurately determined. Because this debt has not been paid from year to year since it was first contracted, in 1910. makes it none the less an obligation on the part

of the city. Therefore, this debt must

be charged to the account of disbursements the same as if it had been paid. N. II. Johnson, superintendent of the municipal light plant, figured in 1912 that at that time the city owed the plant $63,706.37. as will be discovered by a Verusal of the controller's report for 1912. Deficit Instead of Surplus. Johnson figured this indebtedness under the rate paid during the Schlllinger administration. $75 per lamp per year. Next year payments to the light plant for street lighting will be resumed at the rate of $45 per lamp. Had this S63.7C6.31 indebtedness been met by the c!ty last year, there would have been a deficit of $65,262.44 in the general fund Instead of a surplus of $40,902 89. Officials cf the present administration explain that the policy of paying for public lighting was allowed to lapse in 1910 for the purpose of using the money for additional public improvements. In other words this was th adoption of a policy of providing additional public improvements and lighting streets and public places at
