Show THE CITIZEN tablished by ordinance in 1903, the provisions mentioned to .Invest said fund3 at interest so as to meet the contracts as entered into by the city and the patrons of the cemetery for perpetual care of lots, at the rate of $100 (one hundred dollars) per lot, in perpetuity. These funds lay Idle until 1913,. the second year of our present form of government, when the commission ordered them to be invested in special Improvement warrants that had become delinquent and drawing 8 per. cent through lack of funds From 1913 to 1918 the sum of $109,368.25 had 7 been invested, which had earned until redeemed the last in 1921. From March, 1918, these moneys received for perpetual care has been dumped into the General Fund that up to January 1, 1927, amounts to add to this the original fund of $109,368.25, makes a total of . $10,-682.7- $123,-637.0- 0; $233,-005.2- 5. This money has not earned a cent of interest, since, on the other hand, why should the taxpayers be compelled to pay double taxation to have the graves attended to, as they, through the yearly taxes, must pay their pro rata for the upkeep of the city cemetery? Any private corporation doing business in the manner of our present board of commissioners would be cit-e- l before our state security commission or hailed into court for obtaining money fraudulently and be prohibited from doing business along these lines. Perhaps the patrons of Nibley park have started a deeper question than they anticipated when thev wrote their petition to the commissioners. A SUBSCRIBER. Note It appears to us that all this money should be returntd to the ceme-tar- y fund and make the interest pay for the upkeep. This double taxation of the people for their cemetery is very unjust and should not be tolerated.

While in the office of the Secretary of State she served as the actual Secretary of the State Board of Examiners, Board of Loan Commissioners, Armory and various other boards and commissions For ten years she personally audited all claims against the state (except state road claims), over $15,000,000 of them.

Meanwhile there have been tremendous gains in railway operating efficiency. The shipper has not only had lower rates, but trains carrying his goods are moving faster and schedules are more reliable than ever before, serious car shortages apparently are a thing of the past, and railroad facilities have been vastly BILLION AND A HALF SAVED Western shippers saved more than one and billion dollars during the last six years through reductions in railroad freight rates in that proved by the expenditure of billions of dollars of new capital for new main lines, side track and yards extensions, new equipment and other betterments. The railroads have made these period, according to J. T. Saunders, freight traffic manager for Southern Facific.
