ASHLAND, Nov. 10. It's rather a
far cry from ballots to the budget, but
nevertheless a relief to turn from
"Calkins wil! support Kelly," also
"Mrs. Hatch will support Loomis,"
and consider matters financiul tn
meud of political. Hence the study
of the Ashland municipal budget for
1923 should be interesting, by way of
affording a contrast to a.i mo cam
paign bunk of the past few weeks.
Locally, the levy will be 18.7 mills,
yielding $46,794.32. This np pears to
be a modest estimate, but it must be
remembered that both the electric
light and water departments, ns yield
ing revenues, do not appear in the
enumeration. The police, library and
park departments, to a certain extent,
also afford revenues to offset expen
ditures. For instance, in the park de
partment, over $3000 was taken in as
fees at the auto camp grounds the
past season, a splendid exhibit and
one which confirms the wisdom of
the authorities in levying a fee which
is merely nominal. It was an experi
ment introduced in the face of some
opposition contending that it would
drive' tourists away from Ashland's
model camp grounds. A summary of
the levy by departments is as follows:
General, 3.6 mills; park, 1.7; library,
1.03; fire, 1.95; street. 2.35; pub
licity, .47; interest and bonds, 7.1.
Interest and bonds require tho ma
jor expenditure of $17,700.83, tho
general department following with
approximately $1)000, tho chief expen
diture hero being $5000 for street
lighting. The general department is!
taxed $40 to feed elk tn the park, an I
expense which it seems ns though the
park board ought to assume. The
question arises what board or bureau
pays the expense of feeding the
swans, the latest accession to our
local zoo? In tho publicity column
the band receives $C00 for tooting its
horn in the Hthia domain, while pub
licity in general receives attention to
the extent of $275. Labor costs
$8500, while salaries under these esti
mates approximate $13,500. In the
public department $050 is allowed for
annual upkeep of car. The budget
committee will meet November 21 to
discuss the estimate and confirm the
levy. By way of comparison, the city
budget is $46,794.32, and tho school
levy $57,045.
J. W. McCoy, cashier of tho First
Nationl Bank, has moved from Ter
race Heights, his family now being
located in their cozy home surround
ings on Oak Btreet, the former Sher
win premises, recognized as situated
on one of tho finest locations in town.
A feature which logically carries
out tho idea of the institution of a
brand new industrial establishment
locally, is the line electric sign which
heralds the . opening of the Electric
Bakery near the corner of the Plaza
and North-Main street.

The local paper is now conducting
three literary departments, Sap and
Salt, "The People's Forum," and
"Thoughtlets," the authorship of the
latter paragraphs being ascribed to
Frank Jordan, former' ayndicator of
precepts and proverbs under the de

Tho local political melting pot, so
it is rumored, has been the means of
harmonizing the views and reconcil
ing the publicity fortunes of Greer
and Endcrs, whose policies have been
ut variance for some time past, even
moro than a frigid basis and here
after it is presumed they will join
hands in the great constructive up
