High

Cost of Government Caused

War, Auditor Tells Council

by

High cost of government is running a close second to the high cost of living, according to the annual report of County Auditor Bowman to the County council, at its session Tuesday morning. Bowman's report shows that since the beginning of the war supplies and materials have increased from 12 to 93 percent, especially during the last year. Coal and steel have been the biggest items in the added expense to the county, coal having advanced 93 percent and steel 90 percent in the last year. The annual consumption of coal for the court house and county jail is 450 tons. This cost $1,453.50 in 1916, while in 1917 the coal cost $2,812.50, or an increase in the total cost of $1,359 in one year. In Three Classes. The annual budget of the county, as presented to the council shows places where the appropriations may be made smaller. According to report, the appropriations of the council are to be divided into three classes. The first class includes the salaries of officers and the amounts are fixed by law; the second class includes necessary expenditures on which amounts are placed by the council and the

ODDITIES

Russia may carry out a complete reorganization on a huge scale of its inland waterways, if plans made previous to the recent political upheaval are realized. The project includes improvement of existing waterways, constructions of new waterways and ports, utilization of waterfalls for producing electric power, improvement of navigation, etc. The work, it is estimated, will be finished in 1930 and cost $487,000,000.

Bountiful rice crops are expected in the consular district of Swatow, China.

third class includes appropriations which may or may not be made, at the discretion of the council. The first class covers one-half of the total appropriation while the other two classes make up the remaining half. According to the report, the general fund of the county is about normal, for the first time in five years. More Than In 1916. The general fund should contain about $75,000 on June 30 of each year, but until this year, the nearest approach to that amount in the last five years has been $60,476, in 1915. In 1917 the amount in the general fund on June 30, was $72,853, almost $20,000 more than in 1916. The increase In the general fund in 1917 was due to three things, the report declares. The county officials have exercised greater economy in making their annual estimates, resulting in a more complete budget, the collection of about $10,000 in delinquent tax in 1916, and the lack of bridge emergencies during the year. In closing, the report shows that through economy in the county offices, and the curtailing of all unnecessary expense, the tax rate for the general fund need not be raised to meet the increased cost of conducting the county's business.

New York's Drafted Men Given Farewell

NEW YORK, Sept. 4. For the second time within a week New York today honored her fighting men when several thousand future soldiers who were called to the colors under the selective draft law, paraded up Fifth avenue preparatory to leaving for their training camps. Not all of the men in the parade were undrilled although all marched without uniform. One company of 250 men which has been drilling for the last week were prepared to give a demonstration of what can be accomplished in so short a time. While the principal parade drew the greater crowds to Fifth avenue thousands of persons lined the parade routes of similar parades in Brooklyn and the Bronx. Charles E. Hughes, chairman of the district board of New York City, who has refused many hundreds of claims for exemption made by men in today's parade, was among the guests invited to review the marchers.

IRISH GANGSTERS ATTACK OUR TARS

LONDON, Sept. 4. Attacks on Sunday night are reported in a dispatch from Cork to the Chronicle. It is said that gangs of young men paraded the streets and set upon the Americans who were accompanied by their sweethearts. One instance cited is that of two Americans who were attacked on the chief street of Cork, a young woman with them being insulted and having her hat torn off. The correspondent reports that the sailors did nothing improper or contrary to good taste to invite the attack and as far as could be learned did not retaliate. They escaped on a tram car. All the girls who suffered at the hajids of the crowds, the dispatch says belong to the respectable middle class. An attempt was made at 11 p. m. to break into places where Americans are staying, the dispatch continues, but after a short siege the attackers departed. Several parties paraded the streets singing "Sinn Fein" songs and performing military evolutions. Some windows were broken. One party raided the premises of an officers' training corps and stole 56 rifles, 30 revolvers and a number of swords, none of which had been recovered, the correspondent says, at the time of writing his dispatch, nor had any arrests been made. He reports that he talked with several American sailors yesterday and they believed the affair was organized but were not aware of the reason. They said they had been well treated hitherto in Ireland.

Cant Find Houses Enough, Says Krone

With vacation days about over, school beginning and all business started anew, the demand for houses in Richmond has far surpassed the supply, according to Otto Krone, Richmond real estate man. That Richmond is growing is shown by the fact that there are by no means houses enough for the families now here. Real estate men are constantly being sought to ."Please find us a house." The statement recently issued that there are more than 200 empty houses in Richmond, is not true, according to Krone. He says the high cost of building material and help is the cause for the slump in building at this time.
