Spokane Commissioner Blames Them to Public Demand for Luxury. Spokane, Wash., Aug. 3. Charles M. Fassett, one of the five commis sioners who govern Spokane, has is sued an interesting statement show ing how the tendency toward higher taxes in American cities the last few years has been caused oy the demand for moie conveniences and how the people of Spokane arc gitr-.n; more fcr their money than at vi time in the history of the city. He sums it all up in the word "service." "We sometimes hear people won der what they are getting for their taxes, but a glance at SpoKane?'s bud get for the present year and the one proposed for next year will answer the question," states Commissioner Fassett. "Aside from the larger item of police and fire protection, street lighting, street cleaning, street repair and sprinkling, observe the many things that have been the out growth of the past five or six years. "We have playgrounds, swimming pools, golf links, and free band eon certs in the parks, drinking fountains on the street corners, numerous new concrete watering troughs for horses, comfort stations in the downtown dis trict for men and women, free dental clinic for the care of the children's teeth, and enlarged facilities for fur nishing free employment to men and women. We have free vaccination by the city health office, with board, med ical attention and medicine without cost when a paiicnt is taken to the city'.: contagion hospital. There is al so medical diagnosis by the health of fice without cost in cases of suspected contagious disease. "We now have three more fire sta tions than we had five years ago, po licing a great area and carrying wa ter to the remoie corners of the city. We are maintaining three new li brary buildings, an enlarged emerg ency hospital with a physician and three nurses always at the service of the public. Free building permits are issued where vs mad: a charge five years ago; gas, water, milk, food pro ducts and paving materials are tested by a city chemist. "More money is given to charity, larger payments made to the state in dustrial insurance fund for the pro tection of city employes and a sub stantial contribution made by taxa tion to the water department for the water appropriated for public use. "The city is carrying its share of the cost of improved lighting in the downtown streets, has more modern apparatus for fighting fire and more tire hydrants for the distributing of water at fires. A civil service division is maintained where very citizen is RY free to enter in examinations for em ployment with the city. "Nearly all of these things have been the outgrowth of the past five years and go to show the extent of the service being rendered by the Spo kane city government." Much Stock on Ranges Portland, August 29. Figures just compiled in the office of the District Forester, George H. Cecil, Portland, Oregon, show that 157,689 cattle and horses, and 990,771 sheep and goats, belonging to 3,454 permittees, were admitted to the National Forest rang es of Oregon and Washington during the period July 1, 1915, to June 30, 1916. These figures give ah increase of 20,834 cattle and horses, and a de crease of 11,669 sheep and goats, com pared with the number submitted dur OUTBURSTS OF EVERETT TRUE -By Condo I 'J N0' 1 WNT"V 'J ' S II 1 So shopping; wton J Aouf my eyes arX f .-m B0YH6RINQ ASUN J f-gBg rS ST RONS SUN- HAT'VrWT " T HURT'S weT You S4ir tue isrx (TO THS DeR4RTrteNT 3TOR5S ) V; 'A SeT THINGS ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1916- ing the preceding fiscal year. The decrease in sheep is accounted for by the fact that many sheep men have gone into the cattle business. The figures as a whole show a big increase in the number of stock on the for ests of the district. Since four sheep are considered equal to one cow on a range basis, after deducting the 11,669 decrease in sheep, the figures show an increase equivalent to 71,667 sheep. The returns also show that during the 1915 season the stock grazed 'be longed to 2,962 owners, but this year 3,454 owners are represented, indicat ing clearly that the Forest Service is steadily carrying out its policy of making the widest distribution among the small ranchers adjoining the for est. Six years ago there were 1,683 grazing permittees using the Nation al Forest ranges of the two states. Our Want Ads bring results.
