Lowing u deficit Of about 5000
We estimate on the above that We will
collect all taxes due The city for 1892,
which y hardly likely, hut we do nntic-
pate b'ing able to collect enough ofdelin-
qucnt taxes Of 1901 To equal this amount.
Il will be clonr from the above that IL
viii require economical management To
even do this well, aud make no greater
deficit.
The deficit arises from the fact TINT
the council has nude greater allowances
y about $1,000 than the budget. nnd
that the spnnkling expense will hr large
~ in eNcctss Of last year. which wis the
bpsis for the budget, aud loss of nearly
10 per cent In the revenues of tl,e police
department.
There are outstanding amoults to the
city's credit which We think should be
collected nj lpust tho effort .LnuII la,
