ton to that of Callaghan and throw
ing some hot shot into Mr.. Lewy's
camp, winding up by proposing to

THE DEADLY PARALLEL.

To the Express.
During the last year of Mayor Cal
laghan's administration it cost the
city for the running expenses alone,
not counting any permanent improve
ments, a budget appropriation of
$360,OOO, $4,000 secured from the
sinking fund and $4,000 more APP
propriated by the council OF n grand
total for 1928 of $4,000.
Mayor Paschal used to accomplish
the same results in 1884 for 1881,
600.
The first year of Mayor Elmendorf's
administration, 1856, the council APP
propiated for the same purposes S2SS,
600. Mayor Elmendorf spent of this
but S245,OO0.
This is a saving of $4,000 over the
Paschal administration and saving
to the taxpayers over the extraya-
gance of Callaghan of S1S1, 600
In these figures are to be found all
the issues of the present campaign
