Mayor Refutes Dry Charges Over Mulch Tax Loss
Waterloo mayor R C Thompson counters claims by the Waterloo Business Men's Temperance association that city finances suffer from administration excess. He attributes a $68,900 revenue shortfall to the loss of money from saloons after closures, noting 26 retail and two wholesale dealers paid sizable annual levies. He also lists 1912 to 1914 expenditures and specific 1914 costs such as bridge repairs and city improvements to explain rising running expenses. A bake sale by Christchurch women is noted in Waterloo.
