The furniture company, operated by the Kennelly brothers, T. G. C. “Cleve” and John K., last week was restocked with several carloads of new furniture. The store which later developed in- to the present furniture company was established by Thomas C. Kennelly, ( father of T. G. C. and John, in 1890. The father, who is dead now, came to Mandan in 1689. The elder Kennelly and his two sons operated the Kennelly Furni- ture company until 1915, when they sold out to the Héme Furniture com- pany. The Kennellys operated their undertaking business from 1915 until 1923, when they repurchased the Home Furniture company. Since then they have operated both the furniture and undertaking busi- nesses and have built the company into one of the largest stores of its kind in western North Dakota.

AUDIT SHOWS CITY BiG: BUSINESS UNIT Accountant Schantz Turns in Review of Bismarck Muni- cipal Financing The scope of the Bismarck muni- cipality as a business organization is revealed in a report just submitted to the city commission by William Schantz, accountant, embodying an audit of its property and finances for the fiscal year recently closed. The report shows, among other features, that the city has an invest- Ment of $248,000 in lands and build- ings and that its receipts of money in the last six years, outside of water- works income, were $2,304,121.61. City property is encumbered by bonded indebtedness of $168,000, but in the sinking fund at present, against this debt, is the amount of $34,819.76, levying the net indebtedness against the investment a matter of $133,180.24. The city, the report also discloses, has invested in special assessments & total of $1,998,620.40, of which $1,018,- 280.78 is unpaid. Another item of the report notes that there is a total of uncollected taxes—not delinquent but becoming due in quarterly payments—of $83,- 487.27. This would leave a net in- debtedness yet to be paid, of $934,- 793.51, In Favorable Condition “The city is in a rather favorable condition,”: said Accountant Schantz. “We find there is ani excess of assets over liabilities as follows: “Municipal property, $183,361.75; special assessments on property, $1,- 1 063,826.89; waterworks surplus, $37,- 050.75; current assets, $109,617.65; giv- ing the city a net worth in excess of indebtedness of $1,393,857.04, which does not include the usual expendable property and equipment, such as fire fighting appliances, street machinery, trucks and tools.” The audit gives considerable space to the city waterworks system. One item shows that the plant exclusive of current assets, stands on the city ‘books, as having cost $480,316.12, De- preciation reserves are set down a8 $72,583.97. The net value of the water Plant is itemized as $407,732.15. The indebtedness on the waterworks is set down as $403,000 in the form tion of these bonds, there: is now $63,809.84, reducing the indebtedness to @ net of $339,190.16. Reviews Water Department The water department of the city is in @ very favorable financial condi- tion, the report observes, Its earn- ings have been more than sufficient to provide for interest on the bonded debt created for its establishment, the depreciation charges and the sinking fund requirements, says Accountant Schantz. When the works were aqcuired, the report said, not @ dime if the tax- payers’ money was required in the financing. Taking up last year’s audit, Ac- countant Schantz interpolated this Paragraph from. it as he today ex- plained the figures covering page af- Lt pase in typewriting in this year’s audit: “The waterworks plant was acquired by negotiation of bond issues and, aside from special assessments for the distribution system, directly bene- fiting the property against which the Cost was assessed, there was no in- vestment of funds by the taxpayers in the acquisition of the new plant. “In ‘the examination of the city records,” said Mr. Schantz, “these were found complete in every respect and every accountability has been well established and itemized by the department heads.” AIRPORT PARKING PLOTS ARE LEASED Flyers to Put Up Buildings for Planes and to Conduct Business on Field Allotment of parking space around the border of the Bismarck airport has begun. F. M. Roberts took out the first lease, a lot 62% feet by 120. E. A. Hughes took another on the arrival of his newly-purchased plane. Today leases were signed by the city authorities and Vincent Cavasino for two spaces totaling an area of 125 feet by 120. To this ground Cavasino will move his present building on the old flying field and also erect a serv- ice station, the location being in the southwest corner of the field.
