You surely can profit by what others have been doing for 23 years. Box of 25, $1.15 Box of 50, $2.25 Box of 100, $4.50 120.000 PARED OFF ORIGINAL ESTIMATES City Commissioners Figure 1915 Budget on Basis of $549,000 : While an approximate appropriation of $549,000 is the basis, it is under stood, upon which the City Commis sioners this afternoon began tho preparation of the skeleton budget or dinance for 1913, it is said thsjt Initial prunings and parings from the total of the original requests have already been made to the extent of $2 0,000. All told this year's departmental es timates amounted to between $368,000 and $569,000, and the cutting was be gun with the idea of reducing the mill rate from nine and a half to nine mills. Commissioner Harrv F. Bow man, superintendent of public safety, said he believes this can be done and gave out some tentative figures to sup port his contention. The total esti mates receipts, he said, should amount to approximately $568,389. The increased valuations will amount to approximately $300,000. This will mean a total city assessment of $49,300,000 upon which to figure the taxes, a net income of $443,700. Ordinarily 3 per cent, is deducted for exonerations, treasurers' commissions, errors, etc. After these deductions about $430,389 should be available from taxation alone. The other sources of income as estimated by Mr. Bow man are as follows: Liquor licenses, $26,000; Harrisburg Railways Company, $23,000; Valley Traction, $1,500: delinquent taxes, $25,000; mercantile licenses, $15,000; (ines and forfeitures, $6,000; other sources of a general character. $6,000. These estimated receipts and the taxes will run the city's income to $533,389, which will be swelled further by the estimated balance in the city treasury of $33,000. The councilmen met for another executive session at 3 o'clock and for several hours thev went over all the figures. 'Whether or not the measure •will be ready for first reading to-mor row is a question. BItEAKS LEG FALLING ON ICE Thomas Moran, 4 8 years old, of Mt.
