Important Business Will Make 1t Interest
ing in Both Branches.
To-morrow's Council meeting will be in
teresting, not only from the fact that it will
be the first of the new year, but because OF
the important business that will come be-
fore both branches. The Mayors message
will be one interesting and important feat
ure, combining as it will the esti-
mates of the various citv departments of
their expenditures for the year to come,
and the Mayors opinion of what the esti-
mates should be. 1t is generally expected
the Mayor will ask for reduction in some
of the appropriations. and it is we'll
known around City Hall that he will ad-
wise and request a reduction in the tax
millage from that of the present fiscal year,
bas1ng his argument on the increased valu-
alton.
Among other business will be an ordi-
nance to regulate the driving of cattle over
the city streets. Mr.. O'DonnelPs ordi-
nance providing for the appointment of an
auditing committee and Chief Bigelow's
new and important sidewalk paving ordi-
nance, all of which have been affirmatively
recommended by committees during the
past week. The Philadelphia Company's
bill for fuel furnished for the Brilliant
pumping station, upon which the committee
disagreed, will also be reported and is ex-
pected to create a diversion.

Eveninr,up With the Gas Comp.nx

There is under consideration at City Hall
IA proposition to dispense with electric
lights in the building and return to gas as
'an illuminGnt, using the 70, SOC, 900 feet per
year that the Pittsburg Gas Company is
compelled to furnish free in return for its
street privileges. Since the adoption of
electricity for street lighting three wears
ago. the Gas company has been getting off
without furnishing this supply and the CITY
is the loser. Controller Morrow said YES
terday that since the erection of the tall
building in rear of City Hall the light has
been cut off from nearly all the offices on that
side, and as lights have to be kept burning
steadily all day the question of cost is a
serious one. If the contract with the gas
company is resumed there will be large
saving in that item of expense. The con-
tract for electric lightin the hall expires

THE NEXT CITY TAX LEVY.
Properly Valuation May Be Increased
S5O.0OO,OOO-An Increase of 100000
in Tax Receipts-Brown's Department
Wants 100000 and Bigelow's the Bal

AropeTtY NuuatlOn Way De AHcroo"eoA
S5O,0OO,O O,OOO-An Increase of 100000
in Tax Receipts-Brown's Department
Wants 100000 and Bigelow's the Bal
ance OF 1t.
One of the most generally discussed topics
at City Hall just now is the tax millage for
the coming fiscal year. The triennial as
sessment now being made figures largely in
all discussions of the matter, but there is a
vast difference in the estimates of what the
increase in valuation will be. BY some the
increase is figured at 100000 900, making
the total assessed valuation S200, ,0O0, 0O0
Bv others the increase is figured as high as
$50, 600, 600, and from all the indications
that figure is nearer the mark than the first.
The assessors say that the increase will GER
tainly reach $50, 900, 900 and will probably
exceed S40, 10000
The increase will be pretty evenly dis
tributed over the city. If any sections are
increased less than the others they are the
Southside and Lawrenceyille districts. The
Old City and the East End assessments will
be largely increased. Increase in values
alone will account for the OLD City's extra
assessment, particularly along Penn avenue
and down toward the Point from Market
street Values have doubled all through
/ tne folnt district within the three years
since the last triennial assessment, and
nearly the same conditions have prevailed
on Penn avenue up as far as Tenth street.
In the East End, besides the increase in
actual values, there have been large i'm
provements that have raised values in
certain localities and the general improve
ment of streets, not only pushed up the
value of abutting or contiguous property,
but caused much that has heretofore been
assessed as 'rural' to step into the "full
value class, in which it will be assessed on
its full value instead of two-thirds, as here
tofore. Much agricultural property, here
tofore assessed at half its value, will be put
in the rural class, and it is probable that
the next assessment will wipe out the agri-
cultural classification entirely.
This increase in valuation is expected to
make about 500, 900 of an increase in the
tax receipts for the year. OF this amount
Chief Browns department asks for S1OO. .O00
more than last year and Chief Bigelow's
5000, 900, so that if neither of these appro-
priations are reduced there will be no
chance of the millage being reduced. 1t is
understood, however, that certain members
of the Finance Committee have declared
for a reduction in the millage, and they will
make it if the department appropriations
are to sacrificed.
