An Economical [ nilnciI.

Instead of there being deficiency
in The funds of the city at the end of
this fiscal year as predicted by the
Democratic papers, it is now certain
that there will be sufficient money to
meet all demands, except those rem
dered necessary by the increase of the
police force, which amount to some
$4,000.
This deficiency, however. will be
partially made up by the balance re-
manning from other appropriations
showing that instead of the present
City Council being an extrayagant
body, it hHs been one of the most eco
nomical that the city has had for years
and Is making every effort to keep
down expenses, SO that there will he
no necessity for increasing the tax
rate for next year.

The falling off in the attendance of
