The Finance Committee find them
selves IN L dilemma. There is a strong
sentiment against the reduction of city
officers salaries. The expenses for the
coming year will be $1,000 more than
last year, and this will have to be raised
in some way. The committee scarcely
knoww hat TO do, unless they raise
taxes at least 10 cents Oh the $780,
At meeting In July the tax rate will
be considered and 1t is hoped that some
way may suggest itself. The interest
now paid on city bonds amounts to
$4,000 4 year, which is onc-third Of the
tax revenue.
