The city council at ite last meet- ing made an order to have the fol- fewing streets curbed and macadam- fred at the expense of the property -awners: Pine from Main to the de- 7got, Ft. Scott from Main to the rail- wead, High and Delaware each «Between Pine and Ft. Scott. It hae been the custom heretofore “For fhe property owners to be requir- di to do the curbing and the city did tee macadamising. Why . should ‘that order of things now be changed wand the property owners be required todo tt all? These same property owners aesieted in macadamizing all ‘she other streets finistiéd to date, zand now they are told that they will ‘Re forced todo their own streets at thelr own expense. There are many property owners ean these streets unable to pay for (Male work, andsuch an order amounte ‘so practically a confiscation of their property. We are heartily in favor of macad- eamising all the streets mentioned and many more in Butler, but the arden should not fall upon the wroperty owners alone for improve- amente that benefite the public. This ‘wee recognised when improving ‘Ohio, North and South Main and #Pineto the cemetery, and the same =zonditions hold good as to these eatreete now under consideration. ‘Mlectly willing to do the curbing, as was required on all the other streets, Bat they eertously object to being discrim!nated against and are un- willing to pay for the whole of thie work. The Bates County Record makes the following comments upon the county’s financial statement, as published in Tae Ties and Rich Hill Review last week: “It ls a com- plete, detailed account of every cent received and paid out by the county for the last fiscal year ending the 30th of last April, and is the most comprehensive and valuable state- mentever published by the county court. County Clerk Weeks {1s cer- tainly entitled to credit for the state- ment. The receipts of the county the past year were some $3,000 less than the year previous, while the ex- penses were about thesame. There {gs over $5,000 less in the treasury, but there are also less outetanding warrants. Outstanding warrante to the amount of nearly $28,000, draw- ing 6 per cent interest, are to be credited with $18,000 cash on hand, leaving the debt about $10,000. There is no hope of paying this, to- gether with the expenses of the coun- ty, until property is assessed at least one-half of ite value. The county should be assessed at $20,000,000 this year, will it be done?” Tule Coe, editor of the | | $s The legislature appropriated $120,- 000 for the support of the state militia for the next two years. Six years ago the appropriation for the same purpose was $40,000, two years later itjwas raised to $75,000 and two years ago to $100,000. The Adjutant-General’s salary was raised from $2,000 to $2,500, and he ts given anassistantat$1,800. $5,000 was appropriated for the completion of the records of Missouri soldiers during the civil war. We are;mighty glad they put it “completion,” as this compilation has been going on now for 44 years, and it does seem that mighty near time and money enough has been epent to secure a correct list of soldiers who served from this state during four years of war. No Emergency Clause to Game Law. Special to Taz Timzs, Jefferson City, Mo., May 26.—The general impression seems to exist throughout the state that the new Game Law carriesan emergency clause.
