Advertising: and Circulation Telephone .'....98 Editor and Reporters' Telephone HG Member of Audit Bureau of Circulations DAILY EDITION CITY'S FINANCES Monday, April 11, 1932 Today on another page we are publishing a statement in regard to civic financing which will prove of very great interest to a good many people. All sorts of wild statements had been made in regard to the financial condition of the city and this statement will clear up a great many obscurities. George Rorie was asked by the Daily News to give this statement to the people so that they might thoroughly understand the situation. It seems very clear from the statement that a policy of the greatest possible economy must be adhered to and also it seems clear that given an economical administration over a period of years there should be no doubt about weathering the storm successfully. PARENTS INTERESTED On Friday of last week a number of parents of pupils in the schools met under the auspices of the Parent Teachers' Association and asked to have the manual training and domestic science departments continued. It was pointed out that most of the leaders in the campign to cut down on the, schools are men who have no children or whose children are not of school age. All must realize that strict economy is necessary but what must be decided is where the cutting is to be done in order to do the least possible injury. Some people consider spelling more important than domestic science and yet much more harm is done in the world througMack of domestic education .tha"n from lack of ability to s)eii correctly. It is all a matter of relative values. IN THE LETTER BOX ANSWtlt TO PAUENT-TEACHEKS Editor, Dally News: The uncomplimentary remarks, reported nudfr at the recent meeting of the PaVent-Teachers' Association, In my opinion, call for some. criticism. The statement that those calling for reductions Li civic and jehool expendltore we.r purchasers of tax ssde lets who now find that they camtor pay their taxes, is .quite a slam at the 850 citizens who recently at sembled in the Moose llall and which included most of Prince Rupert's reputable .and icspectahl-citizenry, and who unanimous! demanded that only absolutely necessary expenditures be made In connection with both city a4 school administration, during thta period of stress. The remark, however, is worth vfry little consider ation as anyone at all onversaui with local matters, Knows full wall that since the war year 1914. the city toelf has Deen the purchanri of all the tax sale lots (with the odd rare exception, which is the reason that It now owns almost half the townsite. As to the attempt to put th-blame for our financial difficulties on the present City Council, to say the least. It Is childish: They are the accumulation of the ladi 22 years. In the past it has been considered an important qualification tor city councils and school boards to spend as much as pan- SINGpR SEWING' ; MACHINES NEW AND USED For Sale and far Kent MrKAE BROS., LTD. slble, they were congratulated upon doing so. and encouraged, as Inrtanced by our almost unbroken record for passing every money bylaw presented to us. This was alright so long as money continued to pour freely liito our packets. Therefore the taxpayers thtmselves are to blame, ni must assume the responslb.-l-Uj'. The Councils and trustees wee aly tomroments. But now that hard times are upon us, we must ci neeei-.-lty change our ways We therefore now expect our elty fathers and school trustees to do all in th?lr power to keep our taxes down to a minimum. This city has bten very liberal In the past In providing the very best snd ample education lor all nJIke. but II there are now insufficient finances to continue the extra-ordinary subjects such as Commercial, Domestic and Manual Training, there should be na pressure brought to bear on the sehocl trustees in an attempt to have these courses continued until such times as we can again al-Totd them. Apwrdlng t the figures quoted '--I etlmates. almost S80, OfcO.OO. -provided the city ha 1.000 naplls, It will cost $80.00 to educate each child for a year. This sum does not take care of Interest on money borrowed to build the ".ehocls. whleh will probably bring the cost to something like $100 for each child. In view ot the remarks complained of In this letter, it would be lnterrrtlag to know If those ie-ponsMjle for them, contribute anything like this sum trwards their chlldrens' , cdueajloity' I( they do not. their neighbors are putting up .be difference.

Character Is Indicated In Every City Garden Good Taste in Garden Planning Tucked away in the older si dentlaT sections- of some of our towns, there are stilt to bs seen charming old places oi an age gone by. No doubt seme of the eld settlers could tell of the circu-iar flower beds that once adorned the lawn, and of the iron deer that stood sentinel near the gate These are the marks of an age gone toy, for styles .ehang-e in planting as in everything else. The new style, as shown In tho accompanying sketch. Is to plan the lawn with open centre, with mass plantings relegated to the boundary lines. Just as we furnish every portion of the home, just so they plant every part of the. grounds to secure the maximum In beauty and enjoyment. , And best of all, we are not hax- ciicaprxd today by lacx of -nater a pleating intimacy to your porch by traiBlns -vines along the side and over the top.

Many people when clearing . their lots save the best of the pines, I hemlocks, spruces or cedars. Very often nature's planning Is better! than man's. Trees add much to the beauty of the grounds and to the value -of the home. OAR DEN .MORALS The condition of the Garden Indicates the kind of man living In the house.
