is herewith called to the attention of
those grumblers and malcOnte hts who
are continually asserting, with out the
slightest foundation, that the municipal
government of st. Paul is more eXpens-
i've and eXtravagant than that OF Min
neapolis. The following figures, show
ing the comparative cost of admins
trating and maintaining the various
city departments Of st. Paul and Min
neapolis. prove that st. Paul governs
and maintains itself at far less eX-
pense than Minneapolis. These figures
were taken from the reports Of the city
comptrolers of the two cities for the
year 1893 the reports for 1894 not yet
being prepared.
They demonstrate that the expense
of conducting the government of Min
neapolis during 1885 was % per cent
greater than that of st. Paul, and also
that Minneapolis pays IS per cent more
than st. Paul for the maintenance of its
water, parks, poor, school and library,
departments. Here are the figures:
