Conditions of the present day are entirely different to what they were when our town was first in- corporate*!. What then «eitw'l sufficient for the city's n»*eds. do not fit th»- conditions of today For this reason, the charter mx-ds tiling in verv many point«. One feature which should l»> changed, is the limit placed upon th«- amount of indebtedrMss the city may incur When th»- charter was obtained, the assesM-d valuation of our town was m»t more than 650.- OOQ. Our limit of indebtedness, $5< mm > is 10 per cent of this valua tion. A like percentage on our preM*nt valuation, would allow an indebtedness of 615,000 or over. When our water plant and electric lighting systems were rebuilt, a debt to th«* full limit was involve»! N<> such debt ns this was. proliabiv contemplated, when our present charter was frani«-d and, as them- systems are more than srlfsustam- mg and will in a few years, pay the bonds, the debt should not l»e con- > »trued as on«- depending upon direct taxation for payment. But owing to our pr«*«>ent debt j limitation, our city council refuse« to father a much desired street im provement, nevertheless the shutting property owners arc abundantly wil ling to pay for the same The coun cil believes the charter with the 6504*0 debt limitation, bar* their undertaking the improvements. This conclusion is. probably, correct un der a strict construction of the charter. Very well. then, let us either amend or enact a new charter which will harmonize with present conditions. There are several other features of the charter which do not suit present day conditions, am! which we intend to discuss in the near future We want this block to im provement and progress corrected, so that our town can move along in the march and in k«*eping with that of our sister towns and so that we will cease to be a subject of jest and ridicule from viaitors. GERMANY’S REPLY Germany's reply to President Wil son’s note relative to submarine murders, is an attempt to justify an unlawful act, so regarded by all civilized people. Instead of meeting the proposition fairly. Germany at tempts to argue the question by setting up a man of straw The l^usitana was pot an armed vessel, a fact set forth by both American ami English authorities. She carried no combustibles prohi bited by American laws to be car ried by passenger vessels. She did not carry American passengers as a shield against German at tack These are the so-called facts (?) upon which Germany attempts to justify «g ■ 4 » vewwls and what are y«u going to do about it?

Her accomplishments in science, litera ture, remarkable preparedness for war and the universal Iwlief of her people that she is alwolutely right in the prosecution of the war. excites the admiration of the world And had she conducted her military ami naval activities along lines of what may I m * styled civilized warfare, she would have had friends in all neutral nations. But the indiscrimi nate slaughter of non-com hat tan la ami neutrals, cannot m>r is not justi fied bv many of her own people nor any of the neutral nations.
