1t will be observed that in these tables
no allowance has been made for the Free
Public Library. Last year the Board of
Finance appropriated $4,000 to that ac-
count and will probably do SO again this
year. The law requires the Board to set
aside one third Of a mill on every dollar
of assessaole property tor the Library.
but the Financiers heretofore have appro-
priated only $40 COO each year, leaving to
the Trustees the task of forcing the pay
ment of the balances In the county. In
this way the Trustees have obtained two
judgments against the city amounting
with interest TO $34,711.52. Adding $40, ,00J
which the Boardwill probably do on ac-
count of the APPROPRIATION required by
law, the amount which the Library will
receive this year will be s44.7ll 50 Add

Owing to the new law which reorgan-
ized the Street and Water Board and
turned over to It's control several branches
of the municipal government heretofore
conducted by other Boards, the estimate
of the Street and Water Commissioners
is getting greatly In access of the appro-
priations OF last year. as will be seen by
