Provision was made yesterday for sew
eral funds and Improvements that are
rightly not considered In the dollar limit.
These provisions are for sinking funds,
judgments against the city, deficiencies

nor the Supervisors considered these pro-
visions within the dollar limit, and in
them there is no violation of the pledges
given. The people of the city have rea-
son to congratulate themselves that the
Supervisors have in this signal way hon
ored their promises.
As adopted the levy figured out one dol
lar. two cents and eighty-three-hun-
Gredths on the 800 but upon the Mayor
suggestion the figure was made one dol
lar. two cents and nine mills, TO facilitate
