Governor WIthycombe has noth
ing on tho Mnrnhficld city dads.
Ito told the people to pnlnt up
nnd clean up. So did tho Council,
and what la more, overyono of the
six wlclders of the city's destiny
emphatically declared tlmt all peo
ple who leave trash on their prom
ises shall ho notified, and falling
to heed, shall ho punished,
A city ordinance, n year ago
enacted, states clearly that all
"shavings, straw, sacks, litter,
weeds and other combustibles" shall
not exist within tho corporato
limits of tho fair city.
To tho Chief of tho Flro Depart
ment Is given the honor of Inspec
tion, the handing of personal writ
ten notices to property owners and
tho subsequent arrest of thoso who
show a lack of Interest. This
Worry City Fntlicrs.
There was $1009 la the city
treasury at tho close of 1913 above
tho current expenses of tho city
government. Tho rcvorso was true
nt tho end of 19H, one year later,
when tho annual report showed
Marshfleld $C77G In the rear. Theso
figures wcro taken directly from
tho report of Ray Kaufman on the
completion of auditing of the city
recorder's office.
The Councllmcn gasped when tho
nows was broken gently to them.
"Wo'vo tried to cut down expenses.
Every tlmo wo start, someone comes
in and talks ua out of tho notion,"
said It. A. Copple. "And then this
year wo aro losing $7fi00 from
liquor licenses. I havo heard too
that several of tho saloons aro to
close down on July 1. That will
mean still loss for tho city. Next
year thero will bo a loss of $15,
000." Tho cost of tho now flro tr.tck
was 9500. A warrant of 2.':75
was mado out nB tho first payment
on tho machine. There is still due
$7125 on Installments. Also the city
lias been buying In many lots be
oiuiBo of delinquent street assess
ment payments. Theso aro forces
that havo combined to cull the city's
finances.
Xot Kvtiiivngaiit City.
"Marshfleld Isn't an extravagant
city," declared John D. (loss, City
Attornoy. "Wo aro getting away
from tho vlllago Idea that a city
can bo run as cheaply each tuw
year nB It did tho year before. With
our street Improvements that aro
paid by tho property owners como
allied expenses that must bo met
by tho city.
"A new street means electric,
lights, it means a street sweeper
nnd the maintenance of tho road
way, and thou It must bo policed.
Wo aro growing. Tho expenses are
bound to Increase" Ito stated,
however, that something must bn
dono to bring tho expenditures
within tho boundaries of tho re
ceipts. t Would Cut Itcrortlcr'H -Office
"Can't you cut down an your
office?" woh asked of Recorder
John Duller. Ho laughed and snld
thnt ho could, This inovo mot with
little favor and again tho city fath
ers were shooed away from n clip
ping of expenses,
"That's ono placo whoro wo can't
afford to mako n cut," said Mr.
Goss. "All theso records nro In
