OTHER BIG ITEMS.
The trustees of the Library fund are
entitled by law to one per cent. of the
city rateaDles.s Last year they were al
lowed only $4,000, much less than half
the amount. They intended to sue for
the balance, and only refrained on the
understanding that they would get full
appropriation this year. This means
that they must be given $4,000 at least
for the current year, and they may insist
on their arrears as well.
The Board or Aldermen also asks for
an increase in every item of expense,
making total Of S25, 300 10, distributed
among the various items as follows:-
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1890-07-15
1890.


AS can be readily seen, many of these
items are double the amount which was
allowed last year, while few are more
than doubled. The heaviest item Is that
for cleaning streets and removing ashes.
1t should be said, however, that this item
was made ridtculously small last year for
the purpose of deceiving the public.
The appropriations then were made on
the eve OF an important election and the
Cleveland ring did not dare to alarm the
people with too large tax levy. So dis
honest estimates and appropriations were
resorted to- The total inadequate sum of
1890. 90 was appropriated for cleaning
the streets and the Legislature was
trusted to pass law authorizing the rails
ing of an additional amount which the
Legislature accommodatingly did. There
is d noticeable increase in the engineering
bureau and the repairs to unpaved street
items, while %, 900 more is wanted for
the reconstruction of sewers.
There is a large increase for public
grounds and buildings, while the amount
asked for cleaning sewers and receiving
basins is increased more than fifty per
cent.

of $500 for horse and wagon which did
not appear in last years estimate at all,
an increase of $3.50 for books, stationery
and supplies, and an increase OF $3.50 for
extra clerk hire.
This Board has also the distinction OF
being Ahe only Board which has asked an
amount for any one item less than that

1t is, course, understood that all these
increases will not be granted in full, still
it is fair to assume that at least fifty per
cent. of them will. The entire increase
asked for amounts to some S2S0,000. If
half of this is allowed, and it is hard to
see how less can be, then the tax payers
will have to provide $4,000 IN round
figures more than last year for city pur-
poses. The county tax levy will also
show a large increase. Where is the
money to come from?
No doubt the tax rate will go up to the
full rate of three per cent, but 1t will be
readily seen that to meet the city increase
alone it will be necessary to increase the
valuation of taxable property about $4,-
roo, 900.
The total increase of the county tax,
since the Park Commissioners only want
$45, 900 to go into the levy, ought to be
about $4,000, of which Jersey City's
share would be about $4,000. At three
per cent. this represents $l,200,000 in
crease of valuation.
The sum total, therefore, has about this

POLICE BOARD INCREASE.


The item in this years estimate,
Health, $780," does NOT appear in last
years appropriation. AN amount double
that of last year is asked for station
houses and prisons, while the stationery
and printing item is increased over six
times. Almost $4,000 more is asked for
the salary account, and the item for
lamps and lights is but few dollars short
of being doubled. The jugglery by which
this appropriation was manipulated last
year so as to keep it down to ridicu-
lously low figure until after the
election is now well known. Dominic
