ments against the city for street improve
ments (S25, 5,OOo), neither of which show
comparative or parallel items for 1888, will

for this year by 100000. just where the

Gated in the Finance Committees figures

partments only foot up small sums of in

Safety. about $40 900, and Charities, 81, 900.
The business tax is not to be changed just
yet, it seems.
The Committee on Finance met in Select
Council chamber last night to receive the
report of the subcommittee appointed to fix
the tax levy for 1889, and draft the annual
appropriation ordinance. The committee
was called to order at $50 by Chairman w.
A. Magee, whereupon President Holiday.
as Chairman of the subcommittee, pre-
sented the report. Mr.. Holiday explained
that the report was as nearly correct as the
committee could calculate it, there being
as yet an incomplete report from the
Board of Assessors. But the subcommittee
thought best to submit its report at once,
basing its calculations on a valuation of
$50, ,OOo, 900 and levy of II mills for the en-
tire city. If the footings of the assessors
showed that this valuation was too great or
too small, the figures could be changed by
Councils. Such changes might be Necessary,
but of that Councils should be the judges.
The following are the figures submitted
by the sub-comm ittee for 1889, and with
them the figures for 1888, showing the COM
parison with last year in receipts and ex-
penditures. .
