Money for Street Repairs Also to
Be Covered in Loan
Legislation
DISCUSS TAX INCREASES
Salary provision for city employes
affected by the loan legislation will
probabl) be made by Councils'. finance
committee, und at the same time the
question of obtaining money for street
repuirs. etc., will be taken up independ
ent! of any loan legislation.
Salary increases for the Police antl
Fire Itureaus and other branches of the
city government for 1!"U will be dis
posed of along with a study of the
$ IT.S'IO.M." budget for next )cur.
Ilutlget totals, by reason of the Supreme
Court's action on the loans, will be
greatly augmented.
Chairman Gaffne) has completed
plans for a seiies of eiening meetings
to start on Monday nnl to continue
Mondays,, Wednesdays and Frida.is un
til December Ifi, when the needed In
crease in the tax rate will be deter
mined. The problems thut the committee
must fuce in the budget discussions
haie narrowed down to un easily un
ilerstanable situation, ili contradis
tlnrtlon to those raised by the loan controvert-)
. The duty of the committee is
to cut items to an economical point and
then fix a tax rate to cover income.
Provision must lie matle for increases
already promised ninny classes of work
ers, for the repayment of the Sli.OOd.OOO
temporary loan and for salary items
for new places created by the cliuiter
and to be created by Council in its re
organization for tha next administra
tion. Imperutivel.1 needed snlary increases
are said to total ut least $2,000,000.
This, added to the loan repayment, Jit
once boosts the grand total from .$17,-SIKl.M!.-,
to S,11,S.'0,SI1.". From this
giund total can be deducted the $1,
,"00,000 that Controller Walton esti
mates will be available as a surplus
the first of the year.
The grand total left standing with
out regard to tlio city's debt to the
government of some $400,000 for the
construction of stieets. etc., approxi
mates more than $50,000,000.
Controller Walton estimates city
reienue for 11I1M) ut the present tax
rate of $1.75 to be $47,43.',.l,7.1..r,7 ! ut
ii rate of l.!s,.ri;'$4!J,184,171.rl! and at
$2,00, $,rJl,Mm,il01..10. These totuls
will probably be increased becuuse they
are based on an increased assessment
on realt) of ubout $02,000,000 when
the total increase on taxable property
will be $100,000,000.
