As indicated by the report oi the Finance
Committee submitted 90 the Board OF Alder

The expenses Of the city Of late have been
considerably added 20 by The creation OF new
positions and increase of pay OF number of
the ola officers; a" necessary and proper no
doubt, but nevertheless making tne expense
account larger ihin formerly.
Tho last qssr,,upnt o. real e,tlte was made
10 lSsJ: the next w II be in 1890 In slow-
Ing sections Of the city, especially on unin-
proved oropertv, the present assessments are
below the mlrAct rates, while IN hnishrd
wards they are fully up 10, IN some M
stances IN exces, %. hat the property wIu
briug AZ nri,ate or public sale. but without
4 doubt the grand total will be increased

the pre.ept rate of Increase of VA ues there
will be big Jump from the tgures OF le3j
TO those OF 1890.
Br some n IS thought that $3.50 on the
800 will tide ps along until the next re-
assessment. mut it will allow but small
sum. comnaratiyely speaking, for street I'M
proyements.
The whole matter, however, will be bet
ter understood when tue estimates OF the
Finance Committee are prepared; and II u
could be 50 srraugec thlt they could he pub

OF the CITY Courc aud ne public generally

gin allowed by The charter il no" small
one. Under a new assessment II VIII be
ample; but about oil the margin that We
now have will proolbly be needed to keep
the City-IIall work agoing.
The long and short 81 il IS that II the peo--
pie want liberal expenditures for streets and
other public improvements they must either
agree to stand a considerable increase OF
taxation or wait until 1890. II they VIII
consent to postpone these much-craved i'm
