T, A, & K sociely is | planning to create a fund from which | its members, in time of finanecial need, may draw through a system of short | time loans that is now being worked | out by a committee of the organiza- tien, At the close of the year the retir- ing officers reported a balance on | hand of $1,600 besides numerous | permanent repairs to the building. Because cf the society’s financial con- dition, it was decided that a benevo. lent fund be created so that not only these in financial need because of ill- ness, but alse those who are in need of meney because of other conditions, might be given aid, | 1t is expected that a board of trustees will be created to manage the fund as soon as the committee’s plans are upprmtd by the society, CITY MAY BUY TRACTOR FOR REMOVAL OF SNOW Regular Price §42.00, REDUCED TO ..., IVORY CHI Regular Price $45,00, REDUCED TO ,v00044 Regular Price $78.00, REDUCED TO, LACH Purchase of Machine Is Included in Budget Calling for Appropriations of Approximately $200,000, The purchase of a caterpillar tractor to plow and plle snow will bhe ree- ommended by the board of public works to the board of finance and tax- ation in connection with a budget of approximately $200,000, which will also include items of permanent pave- ment to be paid for by taxation rather than by bond issues, Chairman | T. W. Crowe of the hoard of public works said this morning. It is the chairman's belief that the city could have saved many times the | price of the tractor if it had been here this year. The machine will cost | about $2,500, but it will do the work which now requires many men. | Because of the fact that the city | is nearing its limit of bLonded in- debtedness, it is not likely that the city meeting board will act favorably upon a bond issuc of $200,000 for paving streets, hence the action of | the board in including permanent | pavement items in its budget to be cared for by taxation. Broad, Myrtle and Commercial streets are among the highways that | it is proposed to care for with perma- | nent paving this year.

It might be asked what value to mankind will result from the expendi- ure of great sums for the study of a natural occurrence which, it is ad- mitted, can never be prevented and which may continue to exact its toll of human lives and property. 1In view .of the fact that scientists can now locate the certain lines along which quakes have occurred and seem sure to occur again in future, they are able to speak of live earth- quake rifts as they speak of live vol- canoes. It is known by the form of the volcano or by the occurrence of | eruptions within historical time that it is potentially or actually active, and much the same may be said of the earthquake rifts, Special Danger. They are lines of special danger on which no schoolhouse, skyscraper or| dam should be built.
