NINE MILL RATE FOR j CITY IS SUFFICIENT: [Continued From First Pace] was provided tor the stenographer in that department. In tho oily sealer's department SSOO is appropriated for the litting up of eity scales in three market houses. For the department of tax revision anil appeals S9OO is set aside for a mueh needed additional assistant eity assessor. In the miscellaneous depart ment. council this year was alile to cut out the sinking fund appropriation on the second and third public improve ment loans, approximating more than $36,000 because the 1915 fund required by law has been included in the bud get of last year. In the department of streets and public improvements the SII,OOO which the city will expend for the re pairing of asphalt streets at the ex piration of Contractor Charles Walt ers" contract is provided for; SB,OOO more for sweeping streets is appro priated, $59,00(1 for the twelve-month year of 1915 being asked f<>r against 547,000 provided for the nine-month year of 1914; SI,OOO is provided for erecting new concrete posts on the Mulberry street viaduct; an additional thousand is appropriated for inspec tors. and $2,500 is set aside for the purchase of an automobile truck to be used in connection with the operation of the new eity repair plant.

Nine Mills Ample All these changes and improvements can readily be made within the nine mill levy—in the opinion of all the eity commissioners with the possible exception, perhaps, of Mayor Royal. The Mayor vigorously protested against the reduction of the mill rate from nine and a half to nine at yes terday's session of council. The change was not attributable to the efficient management under commis sion form of government, he said. In support of his contention he compared the increases in the various departments as shown by the appro priation measures of 1913 and 1915. All told he said the additional expense totaled more than $49,000. Commissioners Bowman, Lynch and ♦ Taylor, however, promptly called the chief executive's attention to the fact that figures lie quoted from the 1913, ordinance were sums that had been appropriated by original ordinances and did not include the additional funds that had to be provided from lime to time during the last year of the city's government under the bi cameral system to make up deficits. "Why you remember. Mayor," point ed out Mr. Taylor, "that early this year we had to pass one ordinance alone appropriating something like $9,000 to pay off deficiencies in several of the departments—deficits that lay over from 1913."

Thursday and d» -| AO you've provided for, ' said the Mayor. He quoted some figures based on esti mated receipts for the year from vari ous sources including the nine mill levy on the present city valuation, which he said totaled $524,979. Mr. Gorgas' Estimates "Why when we made up the lfudget we were told by Mr. Gorgas," inter rupted Mr. Lynch, "that the estimated revenue was $580,000. Now a half mill represents approximately $24,000. Cutting that from the estimated reve nues why won't enough be provided?" "Yes," added Mr. Bowman, "and leave quite a comfortable balance." "But you'll just have to put your half mill back again next year, won't you? whs I don't see how you can do otherwise. In fact it looks more as if ten mills wouldn't more than cover it." "Even so," cut in Mt. Taylor. "If we can give the people the benefit of the nine mill rate this year, why shouldn't they have It?" "The impression seems to have got about that this cut in the mill rate is due to the economical conduct of the government under the supervision of the Clark act and I don't consider that this is so," declared the Mayor. "Why not so long ago I read In one or the papers something to the effect that notwithstanding the fact that SIO,OOO additional in salaries was made necessary, it is cheaper to run the government under the commis sion form than under the old system." "Well," grinned Mr. Bowman, "and I jufct read this morning that It cost the city $2,000 a month more under the commission system. So there you are." "Have not the various departments conducted their affairs economically, I'd like tp know?" inquired Mr. Taylor. "Isn't it a fact that we've all worked to this end?" "That isn't the reason you were able to cut down your mill rate. You didn't provide for your sinking fund appro priation," said the Mayor. "That's true." said Mr. Gorgas. "But this was left out on the recommenda tion of the city solicitor." "Recommendation nothing," prompt ly responded Mr. Taylor. "The city solicitor just said it can't be done." No Deficits to Make Up "In your figures you've used in your comparison," went on Mr. Taylor, "you've overlooked the money that had to be appropriated from time to time, Mayor. You know that this is true. What we've asked for will stand. We'll not ask during the year for another penny. We followed this plan during the present year. Not a cent had to be appropriated from some unexpend ed balance. The $529,000 that was ap propriated in 1913 represents only what was appropriated. That didn't include what was actually expend ed." Later in the afternoon City Com missioner Bowman quoted some of the figures that showed just what Harris bur South Market Square. —Advertisement. Peace Between Canada and U. S.
