value allowed for their fund by the

value allowed for their fund by the
charter.
The increased demands against this
fund your committee feels are as great
as against any other, ard we should
have been glad to increase this amount
allowed has! we been able to see our way
clear to do so.
A comparison of the department esti-
mates for the fiscal years 1S95-96 and
1S96-97 shows that with an allowance of
this department will receive $50. 900 more
from all sources for 1S96-97 than it did
for 1S95-96, and that the department is
not indebted to the city for funds ad-
vanced, while from the appropriation
for 1S95-96 the sum of $4,000, which had
been advanced to the school depart
ment, was repaid and returned to its
proper fund. We believe THAI with the
same economy which it will be neces-
sary for your honorable body to exer-
else the amount allowed will be ample
for the needs of this department.
For the park funds we have recon-
mended the sum of $4,000, which is
slightly less than the amount asked for
by the department, the reduction hav-
ing been made on their estimate for gem
eral park purposes and not on the esti-
mates for the various larger parks.
Your committee has added an allow
ance Of $4,000 to be used for furnishing
the new central police station, which
amount we deem best to be placed in
special fund to be called the Central
police station furnishing fund" This
, amount will be ample to furnish said
building.
For the street lighting fund we rec
ommend the sum Of $50 1000, which is
! $4,000 more than the amount levied last
year. but slightly less than the amount
actually expended under the contract
| for this purpose.
For the street sprinkling fund we rec
ommend the sum of $35,000. The de-
| mands against this fund are regulated
| by the contract, and the amount is suf-
| ficient to meet them and is equal to the
amount levied for the last fiscal year.
For the cash fund we recommend an
allowance of $165, 700, which is $15,700 in
excess of the amount allowed last year.
This is the general expense fund of the
city and will be the fund drawn against
to pay the larger proportion of the eX
pense made necessary by the annexa-
ton of territory. From this fund will
also be drawn the expense of the coming
| municipal election. which 1t was not
necessary to include in last years esti-
mate.
Based upon the statements herein
made, we herewith submit the following
estimates for the levy of taxes for the
year 1896-97, towit:

UNIVERSITY SlLVERlTES
A Permanent Organization Effected-Jut
tnley's Srescf

Utley's Speech
The University Bryan Silver club
met last night at Wilson's hall, on Ver-
mont avenue.
A permanent organization was ef-
fected and the following officers were
elected: President, Ed Young; vice
president, A. Brunswick; recording Sec
retary, Harry Lee Martin; treasurer,
Oscar Hedges; corresponding secretary,
Harry Lee Martin. After the election
of officers the speaker of the
evening, Judge Utley, was introduced
He made a well-balanced and argu-
mentative plea for and defense OF free
silver. Quoting Mill and Aristotle in
regard to value and prices, he SAID that
intrinsic value was an anomaly in so far
as it is used in regard to gold" Legis-
lation and human desire alone can give
value to anything. And they do this by
creating demand for the commodity lii
question. Continuing. he showed that
it would be impossible for any of the
silver of foreign countries to come 10
this country for the reason that they
have no silver bullion, and all the silver
coins they have are coined at less ra-
ito than 16 to /. Turning to the labor
side of the money question. he proved
conclusively that the laborer Is not the
last to feel the benefits of a rising mar
ket, as the gold men say, but the very
first to be affected, because rising
market is the direct result of an increase
in demand for produce, and this makes
the employer a bidder for labor In con-
clusion. he said that facts and figures
both prove that production has nothing
to do with the coinage value of the pre-
cious metals.
His address was enthusiastically re-
ceived. Mr.. Miller then sang a cam
paign song, which was well received.
The next meeting will be held next
Monday evening.

tical Notes
The Defeat OF McLachlan for Congress Is
Now Assured

This evening at S1S West Second street
will be organized the Silver Republican
club of Los Angeles county. This is the
most remarkable detection of members
of one political party to the standard of
another known in the political history of
California The roll of this club, al
though as yet in embryo, numbers today
nearly 1000 members, all Republicans up
to a few weeks ago. 1t is believed the
club will organize with 1900 members.
and Chairman Carver of the member
ship committee, who has at least fifty
active volunteer Republican canvassers
in the field says that the club will num-
ber 5000 within thirty days. BY all rules
of political calculation, this means not
only the certain defeat of Congressman
McLachlan, but it insures the state Of
California for Bryan beyond the ques-
tion of doubt. Among the lists that
came in yesterday was one of thirty five
names from Azusa. including the name
of Fl. l.. Mcneil. A list of fifty names
was also promised by Roy Jones of San
ia Monica to arrive today. ]. V. Young
of Pasadena sent in twenty-five appli-
cations for membership, and w. B. Akey
of South Broadway recorded nearly 100
names.
The club will have permanent quarters
on the ground floor of 31S West Second
street, the handsomest political club
rooms in the city. A big banner will
span the street, and inside the rooms
every facility will be afforded the seek
er after truth to get information on the
money question. Seats for 500 have
been provided besides the furnishing
of the reading and committee rooms.
If talk on the street is any criterion,
the meeting tonight will undoubtedly
be rousing affair.
