...Petersburg is a city of homes. It has no slums. I believe that the influx of foreigners here (and I class the Jews as foreigners) is detrimental to the city and would tend to produce slums and destroy the neighborly feeling that is now an asset here. ...

The cause of the change from a deficit to a surplus is, in part, economy on the part of Government departments, but even more so, an unexpected influx of revenue. The income tax quarterly payments due March 15 exceeded the expected $400,000,000 by $63,000,000. In addition, the tariff receipts calculated at $500,000,000 for the year, are now estimated at least $40,000,000 in excess of that amount...
