An article by H. Poyser argues the dollar has depreciated since 1914, likening it to the twenty five cent shin-plaster. It notes workers and farmers fare worse under current values, with tax burdens rising and real purchasing power shrinking.
Municipal auditor J B Richmond reports a full audit of the Rural Municipality of Shell River for the year ended 31 December 1953. Highlights include cash on hand, bank reconciliations, investments, tax assets totaling 76289.81 with 110113.26 realized, accounts receivable 5128.00, current liabilities 43824.18, and an operating surplus of 1460.99.
In a fragmentary opinion the text argues against a ban on a questionable monetary item describing it as a germ carrier menace. It questions the pretense and urges focus on the perceived imaginary and earthy value, labeling the deceitful dollar a passing Shin plaster.
