East indian Deficit. London, March 2.—A Calcutta dispatch to the Times says: Finance Minister Westland announced at yesterday’s vice regal council that the deficit amounted to three and a half crores (» crores is ten millions).

The bill proposed by Mr. West-land was referred to a select oommit-tee, which will sit daily and make a report on the 10th of March.

The Manufacturers’ Record, of Baltimore, says: Hundreds of towns in the South need improvements. Some of them have little or no drainage, and as a consequence the health of the popu-lation is menaced. Others have streets which are rough,unimproved, thus affeoting the business and general prosperity of the place. Others have no water supply, and as a consequence the people have to pay double insurance rates or run the risk of losing their all by fire, saying nothing of the inconvenience of depending on wells and the town pump. Others are without suitable buildings for municipal and county purposes. In many sections the bridges are old and dangerous to travel. Not a few cities still de-pend on the oil street lamp, or no lamp at all, for illumination, taking the chances of having a full moon and a clear night about iour days in a month. This state of affairs is found all over the country, perhaps no t as much in the Sjuih as in the West, but it is needless to say that where-ever possible it should be remedied. To increase its population, the num-ber of factories aad its other bnsi-ness ventures a city or town must offer some advantages. Advertis ing is a good thing; it is, in fact, a vital necessity; bat you must have some feature to advertise. If your city is well lighted, has low insur-ance rates on account of ample water supply; if the streets are properly payed, and it has a high standard for health because it is properly drained, tue man with common sense who has the money and the business push—the man you want to help build np the town—will locate with-in your limits and become one of your people in nine cases out of ten, passing by the place next to you be-oause it hasn’t these improvements, although it may possess more nat-ural advantages. No one can esti mate the public benefits secured by money judiciously expended in im provements suoh as we have men-tinned. They are of the lasting worth of well selected Shoes, at far and honest prices? SLEEPER, CLIFTON & DUKE Invite You. kind, and increase in value as the years pass by. Now is the time to secure funds to make needed improvements; also to refund debts at a lower rate of interest. The financial condition of stmc Southern towns wh’ch are in need of these improvements is so sound that they can float long-time bonds if the negotiations are oon- .ducted through the proper channels. A town has to be heavily burdened with debt that can cot dispose of 6 per cent improvement bonds. But such a town should not inorease its debt, and we do not advocate any bond issues where the indebtedness would exceed a reasonable assess-ment on the valuation of taxable property. Judgment and caution should be used and no sale made without the securities being adver-tised exclusively so as to secure the highest market price. The sale of southern bonds in the North and elsewhere will also have the merit of attracting outside in-terest to the sections where invest-ments are to be made through per-sonal examinations of the communi-ties soliciting such aid. It will be the means of not only securing money for public improvements, but money for private enterprises, for the enlargement of factories, etc. A man who thinks his money is safe in improvements for a oity will have faith in private ventures in that city. instances which prove this are found all the way from Maryland to Texas. If you are thinking of issuing bonds of any kind and wish to ob-tain the highest price the Manu-faoturers’ Record will put you in communication with the men who have the money and who want to loan it. ance your favor every time you make a pur-ase from our stock.
