To the Citizens and Tax-payers
of the City of St. Johns:
In order that all citizens and all
tax-payers and all voters of this
city may readily understand the
disposition that this administration
has made of the city funds I have
cone carefully over every record of
expenditure thus far made; and I
have collected a mass of informa
tlon which must prove, if carefully
perused by the reader, of great
value.
Nearly every day the questions
are asked of me, "What has become
of all the money paid into the city
treasury? Why is it that when
$4000 for license alone was paid
to you there is now no money with
which to pay legitimate debts?'
Wlicn the reasons are explained in
a brief manner a disdainful smile
creeps over the face of the titles
tiouer, and he turns away fully
convinced that there is a vein of
this much reputed graft running
through the entire story.
It certainly docs seem odd that
with the income shown on tin
books of the city there should be
now the condition existing which
precludes the possibility of settling
claims constantly being made by a
citv that is ltowIik' nt a rnnid rate
Had the present administration
commenced business with a clean
slate, with no debts long created
crying for Immediate settlement,
there would have been a handsome
surplus at this time, and every sal- Street repairs

claim would have been promptly
settled.
Hut it was not such a condition
that confronted the present admin
istratlou. There were old claims
against the City of St. Johns,
lucked ut by warrants legally
issued, to the amount of f.i22.fj;

thus far warrants have been drawn
to the General Iilcctric Co. for

this amount of bills allowed, but
under the charter a warrant cannot

figure up how long it will take lots that are sell
ing at $40, $50, $60, $80 and $ioo each, and within a half
mile of St. Johns, to dcuble in value.
Call to mind the fact that barely a little over five
years ago lots in St. Johns were selling at the same prices,
and that blocks that arc now worth from $50,000 to $100,
000 sold for $500 each.
Then ask yourself why a small investment in the
Lots at Linnton!
would not be a good way to double your money in a short
time. There is plenty of deep water frontage on the oppo
site bank of the river- This means more industries. Do
you sec the point?
The new turpentine and alcohol plant is going up.
Other industries will soon follow. This will cause the price
of real estate to advance. Better get in now while prices
are low. They will advance in the near future. It will
cost nothing to investigate. Let us show you. Ten per
