came here when there was a huge
indebtedness against the parochial

debt was paid off. A- beautiful new

three years ago and about half
of it has been paid for since that
time. Beeidea this, many other

, In this issue of the paper may
be found the financial statement
of the Electric Distribution Sys-
tem for the City of Schulenburg.
It will be noted from the state-
ment that this department of the
city cleared over $20,000 this past
year. It,is also interesting to note
that the original cost of the sys-
tem was approximately $72,000,
and that about $94,000 has been
added to the value of the system
since it was purchased in 1941.
The estimated value-of the plant
at the present date is about $119,-
000, and that a total of $46,000
has been deducted as depreciation.
In studying1 the statement, we also
find that the city has, about $4,-
000 cash in th? bank; has loaned
other departments of the city ap-
proximately $30,000 and has over
$6,000 in government bonds.
