Twelve Thousand Dollars More
Received Than Estimated.
Figures OIL the November Settlement
A 100000 LOan-MayOr's Trip East
Partly on City Business.

The city's share of the November settle
ment of taxes amounts to approximately
$3.50, coo, or $4,000 more than was estimated
by the late Sullivan administration. The es-
innate made by ex-ControIler Woollen put
the receipts at $21SOO0. The controller yes
terday was notified by Deputy County Au-
ditor Johnson that the statement of the di-
vision of the taxes would be ready and COM
plete to-day. The collection has been an
unusually large one despite the hard times,
and the officials were considerably surprised
when the footings were carried far enough
TO show approximately the amount collect
ed. The total collected in the county will
amount to q sum close in the neighborhood
of $3.50. 600. At this time last year, when the
people were more prosperous, the collection
amounted to only 1853 929, an increase this
year of nearly $4,000. The increase of the
city's portion this year amounts to nearly
$4,000. The increase is not due however,
as ii would appear, to any unusual diligence
the part of the county treasurer in max
ing collections, but is due to a two-cent in
crease in the tax rate and also an increase
IN valuation The tax for the new jail helps
swell the rate slightly.
OF this amount of $3.50 COO. the city's por-
ton of the taxes, large amount, 1885, 100. 70,
has been anticipated. The amount was an
ticipated as follows: From the city treas
urer. July 10. 81 1920; July "A. $1,000; Oct.
9. $4,000; Oct. II. 5000; Nov. 4 $4,000; Nov.
90 5000. The incoming administration found
itself handicapped by sums anticipated by
the Sullivan administration The fun
amount of the $4,000 loan authorized by
the Council some weeks ago has been made.
Controller Trusler borrowing $4,000 yester-
day till April 10, when the spring taxes
begin to come in. There were two bids yes
terday morning this temporary loan.
Fletcher's Bank offered TO lend the money
at the low rate of S7s per cent Frenzel
submitted a bid of 424 per cent. with a pre-
MUM of S5.25. The proposition of Fletcher
Bank WAS accented.

WILL POOL TRAFFIC
Agreement Between Railways on
Export Business
Alleged TO Have Been Sanctioned by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
Other Railroad News.

General freight agents have received in
structions from their superior officers TO at
once begin getting out and circulating the
tariff on east-bOund rates, which are TO
be advanced, per agreement of presidents
and general managers, on Jan. l. The rea-
son the east-bcund lines agreed to restore
rates on that date is stated to be that
pool on all export business will be estab-
Iished at that time. The existing diff
culties have sprung largely from low rates
made by certain lines on export traffic
Roads Va hich have been able to control
their steamer connections have made an
unbalanced through rate-a full rate 10
the seaboard and an exceptionally low rate
from the Atlantic coast to European ports.
Difficulties have been met in the way OF
bringing about an adjustment, but a mass
of statistics has been collected, including
the business at all points from Portland
modelled after the one which worked sue
cessfully at Buffalo during the last season.
The method employed there was that
rates were in the hands of one man and
percentages were evened up every few
days by the quotations of higher rates b.
the lines which were found to have run

that the Interstate-cOmmerce Commission

Andrew L. Lockridge, Samuel Kesling, Jo-
seph f. Flack and Daniel w. Jackson, rep
resenting the Putnam County Dairy Com
pany and the Indianapolis creamery, were
tried for selling aduterated milk. An analy-
sis of the milk had been made by City
Chemist Hurry, and he reported that he
found 50 per cent of water in the Putnam
County Dairy Company's milk and 90 per
cent. in that of the Indianapolis creamery.
The affidaVitS against the two companies
were filed by a. S. Kingsley. who testified
that he had purchased the milk analysed
from the defendants, and found it watered
to such an extent as to be unfit for use
The defense was that if the milk had been
adulterated it had been done without the
knowledge or consent of the defendants.
The cases were taken under Amusement by

the Past Due Bonds.
Mayor Denny's trip to the East yester-
day was not entirely pleasure trip, for he
will look after a matter OF interese to the
city's finance department. The 100000 of
temporary bonds that not paid when
they fell due are scattered about in the
East despite the offer of the New York Life
Insurance Company TO collect them and pro-
tect the city. As the date of the expiration
of the bonds was in last July, there are
no more coupons on them, and when the
city pays the interest on the overt, 80 "a
provision must be made for a proper re-
ceipt to the city. The Mayor will look after
this. either asking a voucher of the holders
or Endorsement on the bonds when the In
terest is paid. The bonds are scattered as
follows: Baltimore, $4,000 Hartford Conn,
0.0O0; Philadelphia, $4,000: New York Life
Insurance Company, $211, 600; the remainder
further scattered.
