certed attack by the Democratic press of

We All Want Money.

The demands Of the committees OF the
CITY Council upon the public treasury
might alarm Us as 10 the condition OF our
finances IL We did not know that one and
all probably ask for more than they expect
10 get. II Is the custom, for it Is we'll
known that those who do not speak mp are
often overlooked in the distribution OF
public favors.
The Dispatch has recommended number
of expenditures for Improvements and we
are honest in support of them ell, but we
consider IL more than likely that as to the
Greater number we will have TO forego the
Joy of success for some time.
The electric-light plant. If ordered. as it
should be, will be provided for by issuing
bonds. as it will be q revenue-producing
investment.
We trust that the street improvement
fund will be raised to 100000, and we
should get this out Of our increased reve-
nue., but this can be done only by economic
ingvthst is to say. not increasing ex-
penses--in other departments.
To this extent only can our public enter
prise 90 this year without increase OF taxa
ton. We know of very few who favor an
increase. Nor does it seem necessary. AT
the same time it is we'll known that to
large extent the increase of revenue OF
1891 over 1890 has been anticipated and
spent by the City Council.
The Finance Committee are often blamed
for Magazines. especially with refer
ence TO street and park appropriations,
and at times We nave been among those
who said that they clssped the purse
strings too tightly, but after all we must
admit that they know our needs and re-
sources better than other people. Besides.
IL Is their duty to provide. while other peo-
pie only do the spending.
We see but one way in which they can
give us even 100000 for streets this year,
and that Is by holding the other depart
ments of the city government to some
thing like the usual appropriations. OF
course exceptions may have to be made.
but the rule should not be altered except
for good cause shown. Only IN this way
will it be possible to get anything like
400. 900 for streets. Some months ago we
hoped for $500, 900; now we shall be salts
fed with 800 900. A city of our size can
not build such City Hall as we are build
ing-and as rapidly as we are dong it
without feeling pinched. We are paying
the interest on all of those bonds without
increasing taxation. 1t is no trifing thing
to do, but we are doing it and well, and in
a few years will have another increase in
taxsbles to help us onward. Till then we
will not be able to vote ourselves every
thing we wish.
