CITY'S TAX RATE TO BE NO LOWER • ualinurtl I'roiN l-'lrat I'mr. said they arc desirous of cutting down the millage although. they add, there is little hope of accomplishing .1 de crease if the desired departmental changes a'e to be made. Several rea sons already have been assigned for keeping the taxes at the >ame rate as during the present nine month period. Say More Police Are Needed Half a do/en policemen were added to the force during the present year; several others must be added this year; any surplus money the city might have had through the large lax rate in the present nine-month yei-.r was absorbed through the payment of deficiencies which had been accumulating for ten or more years and additional street lights will increase the expenditures. These are but 1 few causes of prob able increases in the citv's liabilities and are in addition to lliose incurred through the employment of additional help iu the several departments. There has been some talk of raising tiie sal ary ot the chiet of police, who now gets but $ 1.300. although no one com missioner yet has indicated who will lather the ordtnauce providing for the increase. Ihe erection of four reinforced concrete and steel girder bridges over Paxton creek are improvements which it is^ planned shall be carried under the 1915 budget. Along with that comes the lighting of the river front. City officials now are of opinion that the eity alone is liable for the construction ot bridges over Paxton creek, despite the fact that legal action was begun to have the court decide whether the city or the county is bound to finance the improvement.' Bridge Ordinauce Is Passed The bridges are to cross the creek at Mulberry. \\ alnut, Cumberland and Reily Streets. The one at Mulberry street will have a sixteen foot drive way with a four-foot walk, while the rest will have only a twelve-foot drive way with a tour-foot sidewalk. An ordinance providing for these improvements was introduced bv High wav Commissioner Lynch a week ano and was passed tinailv to-day. The measure gives to the 'Board of Public Works the power and authority to con struct the bridges and it is now be ie\ed that the work can be done for so,ooo or loss. ith a \ iew to appointing i\ commis sion of three members whose ilutv it shall be to supervise the planting:'and trimming of shade trees and the care of them, the City Commissioners this aft ernoon decided to confer next Tuesdav with . Horac** McFarland. of this citv, tormer member and president of the > i'ty Park Commisoiou and one time president of the National Civic Asso eiation. I'iie shade tree -ommissiou bill passed by the Legislature in 1907 was drawn by Mr. McKariand and it is his inter pretation of that act which the City Commissioners now seek. Before the Commissioners appoint a Shade Tree Commission it is necessary for the City to accept tiie provisions of the a<-t of 190,/ although before doing so they want to be more familiar with its • re visions. More of River Front Is Sought One provision of the measure directs that the cost of planting shade trees and tearing up and rebuilding sidewalks incident thereto, shall l>e home bv the property owner, the city thereafter to jay ;he c»s; of maintenance. The com missioners 0 >jeot to one |>ropertv owner paying for the tree and another getting the shade. 1 ;ty Solicitor fllHl also will be ask ed to attend the next meeting of the City Commission and to suggest the ad visable procedure under which the eitv may acquire the ground on the west side of Front street as far as the river edge, between Kelker and Ma-lay streets. Commissioner Taylor said his men are working in that vicinity and have been ordered by '' certain property owners to stop. The park employes are scraping the bank and planting shrubbery. The Solicitor, in a communication, suggested Vhat the city may follow- one of three plans; Condemn the ground under a -treet evening ordinance, have the Sheriff soil the ground on paving liens levied agaiust the property, or ac cept deeds from the property owners under the condition that the paving as sessment on the west side of the street ue paid by the city.
