At a meeting in Celina a few
months ago, attended by city coun-
cil men and citizens, at which mu-
nicipal affairs were discussed, the
question arose as to whether there
existed a state law providing for
publication of financial statements
by cities. Nobody seemed to know
definitely the provisions of the
stirtute in question, if it was ac-
tually in force. Some said there
was—some said there wasn't. And
so it rested.
There is such a statute, and
here it is, quoted from Article
1023, Vernon's Civil Statutes:
The city council shall, at least
ten days before the expiration of
each municipal year, cause to be
published in a city newspaper a
cfcfreet and full statement of the
receipts and expenditures from
the date of the last annual re-
port, together with the sources
from which the funds were de-
rived, and showing for what
purpose disbursed, the condition
of the treasury, together with
such information as may be nec-
essary for a full understanding
Q . the financial condition of the
city.
If no such law existed, the need
Cor such publication would still be
apparent. Aside from the fact that
the people should be kept inform-
ed as to the condition of their gov-
ernment, wre Americans are noto-
rious for looking for something to
gripe about, and it is evident that
tl|£- regular laying of the cards on
the^ table by governmental bodies
will spike the guns of the gripers
quicker than nearly anything else
that can be done.

Few Votes Cast in
Saturday’s Election
Voting in Saturday’s election on
proposed constitutional amend-
ments was very light all over the
state.
Vote in this county for each of
the proposed amendments was as
follows:
Proposed amendment giving the
service man right to vote without
paying poll tax—For 1,390, against
540.
Proposal to provide continuous
salary per diem of all members of
the legislature during their ten-
ures of office For 256, against
1,684.
Third amendment proposed,
providing for nine .Supreme Court
judges instead of three—For 660,
against 1,349.
The fourth amendment proposed
concerned old age assistance, help
for the needy and blind—For 711,
against 1131.
Cottage Hill School
Building Burned Down
The Cottage Hill school building
burned Monday. As the Record
learns it, the fire originated in
some grass up against the build-
ing while some of the citizens
were mowing and burning grass
on the school ground. It was the
intention to cut the grass in which
the fire originated and rake it
away from the building to burn
it, but in some way the fire got
started.
The school had not been used
for school purposes for the last
year or two. The Record is in-
formed that, there was no insur-
ance.
Two business enterprises which,
if under competent, management,
would probably be a success here
in Celina, are a bakery and a bot-
tling works. We spend a lot of
mLtey here and in the small towns
adjacent for bread and “sody pop.”
and there’s no really good reason
why we should not have in Celi-
na the payrolls this money creates.
As it is now, most of the money
leaves, never to return.
A lot of us are enthusiastic
about prospects here for postwar
prosperity and well-being, and a
nv’"nber of new retail outlet* are
being planned in Celina. Signs are
being painted and business is hum-
ming. But we ought to remember
the cold, stark fact that the pros-
perity of the last few years in the
false prosperity of borrowed mon-
ey, and that in fact, the United
States (and that includes Celina-
ites) is a lot poorer than it was
befpre the war. Celina is potcntial-
ljf .me of the best towns of its size
anywhere in the state, but we need
some additional payrolls, and we
need them badly, if we are going
to establish the basis for any kind
of worthwhile growth and pros-
perity.

Preaching at 11 a. m. “To Whom
Shall We Go?”
You are welcome. Come and
worship with us.
Wisdom may exist without the
school; truth may survive without
books; justice may continue with-
out courts, but who is so foolish
as to advocate that we ignore or
cease our loyalty to these institu-
tions? Christianity might survive
for a generation or two without
the church, but we all know that
if the type of personal life which
Jesus taught and lived is to be-
come effective in human life, and
if the brotherhood which he
taught and lived is to become the
law of nations and ruces, we must
have a strong and worthy church
to embody and promote that spir-
it.
