Chairman Gaffney. of Councils1 Fl

The Maor weeks ago wrote to the
heads of all departments and ordeied
them to reduce their forces and to cut
out all places not absolutely essential

Item for the next twelxo months,
Xo Trifling- Reduction
Although the Major would not Indi
cate to what extent he expected to be
able to reduce the present city tax of
J1.75, he let U be understood he did not
haxe n mind a reduction cf a few cents
for political purposes
"When I say the tax rate must be re
duced I mean Just that," he said in reply
to a question as 10 what sa
counted on. "I do not think the present
rate Is necessary In lew of changed
conditions, and there Is no reason xxhy
the cltv cannot be run on less mnnev
" next year.
"when I agreed to the last increase It
seemed necessary, but ex en then I had
In mind a reduction just as soon as
conditions would warrant. I bellexe the
time is ripe for a reduction and haxe
made all my plans with that end In
view. There Is no politics In my etand
and politics will not be allowed to pjaj
any part In the changes."
Could Save Millions
The present Income of the city 16 In
excess of 148,000,000 from taxation and
all other sources A one-cent reduction
In the tax rate approximates less than
1100,000. A -saving or sexeral million
dollars Is estimated by city financiers If
II unnecessary places are abandoned
and work Is discontinued on unnecessary
projects.
Such a sxveeplng sax Ing would mean
a posslhle reduction cf 15 or 20 cents in
the present rate, bringing the grand
total of school and city taxes to $2 15
or 2.20, as compared xvith the present
high total of $2.35.
" In connection with a saxlng on need
less work and places, hoxvexer. it Is nec
essary to add more than $1,000,000 that
will haxe to be found to pay policemen,
firemen and other emplojcs a living
wage.
When told there was little or no
rnanca 01 niuutiiiK liib t.nii.i ibsucb .-
