Every good American wants to do something for the cause, and there are many ways to help, even if you can’t wear the “olive drab” or the “navy blue.” One of them is to save on clothes so that more wool and labor can be released for war work. When you buy, get clothes that wear a long time; that look well as long as they wear. We're trying to help by sell- ing only that kind of clothes.

P In their last meeting with Mayor Allyn L. Brown presiding, the com- mon council recommended a 14 mill city tax for next year on Thursday evening. Last year the recommenda- tion was for a tax of 13 1-4 mills, which the city meeting later cut to 13 mills. The statement was made by AldermanG. B. Dolbeare that were it not for increased expenses due to the higher costs of labor now, there would have been no need of making a rec- ommendation any- higher than last year, stating as an example that the increase of 50 cents per man per day which is to be granted to firemen and policemen alone required four-fifths of a mill to raise it The grand total uf expenses as shown by the budget submitted was $1,085,- 627.32, of which $881,606.44 is to“be met by estimated receipts, Ileaving $204,020.88 to be raiseq by a 14 mill tax on the city grand list of $14,- 572,920. The Committee on Finance consist- ing of Mayor Allyn L. Brown, Alder- man G. B. Dolbeare and Councilman ‘W. H. Bowen. presented its estimate of the expenses of the City, during the vear ending May 15, 1919, and of the receipts for the same period, as fol- lows:— ESTIMATED EXPENSES.

Your committee recommends that the warning for the next annual City Meeting include the last named esti- mates and a call for action thereon. Explanatory Statement. In connection with the budget, the committee presented the following ex- muu.tory statement: sibmitting 7,000.00 ” $500.00° the tccampa.nying : estimates, calling for a 14 mill tax to raise .the balance necessary to meet the ordinary expenses of the city for the coming fiscal year, your finance committee wishes (o briefly imention a few of the pertinent facts which have a material bearing upon the figures submitted. The ' permanent improvement by widening, or new pavement, or both, to Franklin street, Lincoln avenue, lower Broadway, North Main street from Burnham square to Golden streef, and from Second street to Eighth street, and Thames street from Thames square to High street, carried out under vote of regular and special meetings during the past two years, under the resolutions adopted by these city meetings, necessitates the annual payment of $14,700 over a period of five years. The increase of 50 cents per day in pay to the members of the police de- partment, which was petitioned for, and it seems should be granted, neces- sitates an additional expenditure of $3,265, and the provision for two ad- ditional members of the police force necessitates a further expenditure of $2,555. A similar increase of pay to the members of the fire department necessitates an increase of $4,000. Liability insurance for the public works department, which under the present law seems necessary, calls for, an additional expenditure of $2,160.41. Put Thoroughfares in Shape. ‘While the item of macadam repairs under the estimated expenses of the public works departmefit of $19,000 may seem large, it is the amount re- quired to put in condition the impor- tant thoroughfares of the city, which have been too long neglected year af- ter year, so that such a substantial ramount has to be expended. It should be borne in mind, however, as indicat- |ed by the note after the special items, that should three of these, to wit: the ‘West Thames street, North Main street ang Laurel Hiil avenue improyements, be adopted by city meeting, $13,170 could be eliminated from the items of macadam repairs, this being the total estimate for repairing macadam on those three streets, the need for which a new pavement would obviate. The increased cost of labor and ma- terials in all departments is a tter of common knowledge and nee® no further comment. fl The fact that in the department of cemeteries alone an addition of $1,525 has been found necessary to meet the increased cost of labor is indicative of the situation in all departments. Gas and Electric. It may be noted that the entire amount of receipts estimated from the gas and electrical department is offset by expenditures of equal amount. Your committee feels that until this department has been thoroughly re- habilitated at least, it should keep for its own use every penny that is re- ceived from its operation, and that the city should look for returns in the way of better service and lower rates rather'than in cash paid in to the city’s treasury for use in other departments of the city’s government. Upon the receipts side of the esti- mates, it may be noted that $1,000 less is estimated in the return from the | three new sewers proposed than ap- ‘Dt‘dr'! on the expense side. The com- mittee feels that in view of the fact lhat almost invariably the full amount nf expense estimated is not repaid to | the city in the case of new sewers con- | structed, it is fair and proper to make | this difference on the receipts side. More from Town of Norwich. It may be noted that the item from the town of Norwich on the receipts 'side has been increased from $18.000 to $40,000. This amount has remained at the figure of $18,000 since 1904, when it was increased from $12,000 to $18,000. At that time the highway ex- penditures were averaging about $2 000 a year by the city. At the pres ent time they are about $60,000 per year. Accordingly on the same basis it is felt by vour committee that the amount which the town should pay to the city during the coming vear should be $40,000 instead of $18,000. Should Increase Grand List. In conclusion, your committee would suggest the wisdom of raising the grand list of the town, which action. vbutting all properties upon an actual valuation, would materially increase the grand list and so reduce the tax rate. The tax rate under the present situation is misleading and necessarily harmful to the city’s best interests. Mayor Brown explained the reason for putting into the estimated receipts the figure of $40,000 to be paid from the town to the city on account of highway work. Ever since 1903, he said, this figure has been §18,000. The amount is determined by a board con- sisting of the three selectmen, the mayor and the two senior aldermen. If they cannot agree, the matter is placed before and ruled upon by a judge of the superior court, which was the case in 1903, when Judge Thayer set- tled the amount at $18,000. At that time, said Mayor Brown, the city was expending $27,000 in highway work, which showed that the judge decided the proportionate part to be paid by the town was two’thirds. At the present time, the city is expending $60.000 annually in highway work, so that two-thirds would mean the town ought to pay $40,000, which was the figure that had been placed in the es- timates. Street Hearing Not Held. It was explained by Mayor Brown at the opening of the meeting that a pro- posed hearing on a petition for the grading of Smith awenue could not be held because the necessary legal time for notice had not elapsed between the last meeting of the council and this one. Public Works Report. Alderman M. C. Higgins for the pub- lic works committee reported that residents of Boswell avenue had re- quested to have action on a petition which they had made for a sewer post- poned. The same committee reported ad- versely on a petition for a sewer in Gilmore street, as they said the street is not in good condition. The peti- tioners were given leave to withdraw. This will also eliminate from the esti- mates for next year for grading the street. < The public works committee also re- ported adversely on the petition of the American Waste & Metal Co., to lo- cate a gasoline pump. The petitioners were given leave to withdraw. Mayor Brown announced that the council members would meet on Me- morial day at 1.45 at the council cham- ber to participate in the parade. e mentioned also that the common council was invited to attend a meet- ing by the chamber of commerce next Monday. evening at which there was to be a discussion of new street pave- ments and new apparatus for the fire department. Annual Reports. The annual reports of the finance partme nt. trhlt funds, deplrtm.nt otr cemeteries, public works, police de- | partment, bo: of water ‘commission- ers and gas and electric department were submitted and ordered printed in the journal. e Mayor’s Valedictory. At the close of the meeting Alder- man Milo R. Waters said that he de- gired to express on behalf of the hold- over. members, their appreciation of the pleasant relations that had exist- ed in such a closely divided council, and he felt that much had been due to the cooperation of all und the fair deciSions made by Mayor Brown. His Honor responded that he too felt appreciation for the spirit shown by all the members of the council whose deliberations had been entirely harmonious, with one possible excep- n, and they would have been hard- 1y human if they had succeeded in avoiding any clash at all. He wished those who remained in the council all kinds of luck for next year. The meeting adjourned at 9 o'clock. FRENCH CLERGYMAN IS TO SPEAK HERE Revi R.

All the men reported at the draft board rooms promptly at 5.30 with the exception of five, two of whom will g0 Soap should ‘be used very carefully, if you want to ll‘r:!ep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too ~much alkali. This dries the scalp, make! the hair brittle, and ruins, it. & The best thing for' steady use is just ordinary mulsified” cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything eise you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The ‘hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves lhe scalp soft, and. the hair, fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to_manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's wery cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem- ber of the family for months.
