RALEIGH'S FINANCES.
A Hondtnl lHlt of $:iH:i,00-Tlie Cltj
FlnaacrUoartl Itecoiumenda an Increase
la Taiea.
Last week the fiiance committee
of the city of Raleigh made an offi
cial report in which they presetted
the following figures &).
The total bonded indebtedness of
the city is $383 000. the annual inter
est on which is $17,359. Daring the
past year there na been paid t ) the
sinking fond $17,874 70, bnt from
that amount we muai uk $240, sal
ary of the commissioner of tho sink
ing fond, and $428 80, commissions
to the tax collecioi : total, $608.86.
This amount from $17,874 70 leans
a net balance to the sickio? fund of
$17,20581, or a dtficit of $154 in act
ual inter st py mints, and in addi
tion to this $720 of the amount to
the sinking laud is from interest on
investments. In other word?, instead
of the f and taking care of the inter
est account and growing to meet the
bonds at maturity, its income is act
nally not taking car a of the interest
account alone, bat the fond proper
has to be drawn on to pay the inter
est account.
Year committee farther recom
mend that as a matter of absolute
necessity the tax rate be raised and
we give as oar reasons the following
Aaide from the bonded indebted
ness ior wntca tne sinKtng tuna is
responsible, there is outstanding a
?jd,uuu issue or current ex pent e
bods which mature in 1003. Thete
will have to be taken care of. Then
there' are warrants outstanding to
li?e amount oi Here is m
amount of $JJ.U0O on which the city
is paying interest and with no pro
vision to pay it. Then in 1907 n th
er bond Issue u due of $41400 Tnese
bonds are drawing six per cent in
terest. Now, with the sinking fund
not being able to take care ot the in
terest account, and showing an act
nal d fiait, it is time to call a halt
and face the position.
Another reason why the rate should
be raised is on account of the in
creased cost of the different depart-
ments by rtason of the $1 2o a day
labor law recently adopted by the
city. The sanitary department will
require an increase for the one item
of labor $1,600: the park $600, and
the other in iik proportion. Tu
amount paid oat by the Sireet D.
partment in the past year for labor
was a lit la over $44,000 Just add
25 ptr eut to his amount and w
have $55,000, which the same amount
of woik will cost this year nnJer the
$1.2o a-day law. Unlees this law cat
be repealed, or at least modfi;d,
your committee do not feel that it
would be jast to the tax -payers to
have another bond issue at thi ttm
and pay their money out at $1 25 peT
day for the same work that tr y at
individuals cu have done at 75 cts
to $1 per daj ; and we might m ntion
in tuis connection that nnder this
same law farm laborers on the city
fam are being paid $1.25 per da'.
your committee protest that th;s n
ruinou , unheard or and ought not
to be tuleried by this board
WIIK MAN TURNED YELLOW

Told by Pain
S yoa have pains yoa should look after
them qolckly. Pain shews something is
wrong. The sharper thepain the more dan
get there Is in delay. There efs thousands
of women to-day who are bearing awful
paia almost contfmulfcr, rather than tell a
physidan about the shoorlng pains la their
lower abdomrn, about the agony of falling
of the wosofc and the distress of leueocrhoca.
They let the months pass and their trouble
ecomes harder to cure and mors distressing.
But modest women can secure exemption
from the cmberrassment of a private exami
nation. Whan pain tells them of danger
they can core themselves by the use of
WINE(IIIM
Jn the privacy of their homes. Yoa can he
cured without distressing publicity. Vita
