I don’t know anything about the

know is that it’s been too cold out
here recently, but I think I know
why the price of coffee is so high.
It’s not the weather.
It’s high because the demand for
it has mounted, and the reason it
has mounted is that the shape the
world’s in these days just natural-
ly promotes more coffee-drinkin.

Lewis Nix, who heads the elec-
tric department of the City of
Schulenburg and who acts in the
capacity of City Manager, was
the principal speaker at the Ro-
tary Club on Monday.
In the beginning, Mr. Nix ex-
plained that all departments of
the city were owned and controll-
ed by the residents* of the city,
and if the residents were dissatis-
fied, they could do" something ’
about what ever was wrong
by electing officials who would do
what was needed • to correct the
wrong. “The city belongs to the
people.”
He stated that there had been a
lot of comment about annexing
property to the present city limits
but certain procedures had to be
followed if annexation would take
place. In the beginning, a petition
must be submitted to the city
council asking that residents of an
i outlined area be taken into the
। city. If the city desires, then an
i election must be called and 51 per

things which might hurt some one
even though to some people it
would be classed as news. We
often wonder what some of our

they were occupying the editor’s

rather than build up?; would they

the opportunity of saying thank

As regards city finangeg, Mr.
Nix stated that revenue funds de-
. rived by the city had not increas-
ed enough in keeping with expen-
ses for the city to make the need-
ed progress. Tax evaluations in
1941 were given as $1,392/000,00,
and in 1953, this figure had grown
to only $1,737,000.00.
Last available figures showed
that city tax collectiona were 96.2..
In the past ten years over $100,-
000.00 had been spent in the water
department for improvements. We
now have 87 fire hydrants in the
city.
