The property assessment is some
what increased over last year; this
is caused by increased banking capi-
tai and personal property asses
ments; the rating of real estate re-
naming about the same.
The privilege tax collections will
be some less, owing to changes made
by the last Legislature. These, to-
gether with the revenue from Red
river bridge, made up the income
portion of our budget.
CONTRA.
Demand note for 100000. This
should be taken as soon as possible,

SEWER.
Owing to the scarcity of money we
do not feel justified in allowing more
than 100000 for sewer purposes.
While this will not permit any ex
tensive sewer work, the sewer com.
mittee report that this amount will
enable them to do some much need
ed work, which should not be post
poned,

STREETS,
The sum Of 81, ,19S is much less
than has been expended on the streets
for several years. However, it is the
utmost that can be allowed for this
year, and as the amount is inadequate
for all the street improvements con-
templated, we would respectfully
recommend that the street commit
tee hold a conference with the alder.
men from the other wards, and take
under consideration the most neces.
sary Improvements, decide which
ones they can carry through with
their limited fund, and make fair
apportionment of same to such work
as they may determine on.
EXPENSE.
This department runs larger than
asst year, as we have several rather
large claims brought forward. The
other items are based on careful esti,
mates from previous years.
