TITLE z.
THE PUBLIC EXPENDITURES.

THE PUBLIC EXPENDITURES.
The limitations of the present charter
on expenditures, fixing the maximum
amount which may be expended by the
city in its various departments and
which have resulted in economical man
agement of the city affairs and reduction
in public indebtedness, have all been
retained in this title and some addition
al restrictions have been imposed, ex-
cept in the case of the public schools,
the public library, and the fund for the
street and sewer maintenance fund
where an increase has been authoriZ i.
The provision as to the schools and IL
brary will be found in the chapters re-
lating to those
(a) The existing charter limits the ex-
penditures for maintenance of streets,
sewers and bridges, to $150000 annually.
The maximum limit upon this fund has
been raised to $175,009, for the reason
that the collection Of garbage and other
waste matter, formerly done by con-
tract and paid for out of the general
fund has been placed in charge of the
commissioners of public works Getty en-
gineer) to be paid for out of this fund.
(b) Under the present charter the
street sprinkltng is paid for by special
assessment. Under the proposed char
ter special assessments for spfinkllng
are abolished and the cost of the sprink-
ling Is to be paid from a fund raised by

out of the general fund, and there is no
limit upon expenditures for this purpose.

I'D The limitation upon the fund for
the support of the department of the city
engineer Called commissioner of public
works under the proposed charter OF
$4,000 has been placed at $4,000.

CITY OFFICERS, GENERAL POWERS
AND DUTIES.
/. The power of the city under the ex-
listing charter to employ special counsel
is restricted to cases where the city at
torney cannot act and of special and un-
usual circumstances, when the council by
a four-fifths vote may authorize such en-
ployment of special counsel
2. Instead of the common council des-
ignating arbitrarily some daily paper to
act the official publication of the city,
as is done under the existing charter. the
council is required to advertise for bids
and to let the contract for such printing
and publication to the daily paper making
the lowest bid.
8, The city treasurer, instead of giving
a bond with personal sureties for $500, 900
as now provided, shall give a surety COM
pany bond for $3.50, 0G0 All other officers
who are required to give bonds must give
surety company bonds unless for special
reasons they are permitted by the COM

zen thousand
" miles for a
Co. EOOe letter.

few weeks ago an Iowa girl wi ose
father is a prominent Republican poll
tician of the state. began to lombard
the postal department with indignant
letters In which she accused Uncle Sam
OF wilIful negligence and carelessness in
failing to deliver the letters that her
sOid.er-lover promised her he would send
her from the Philippines. She was boil
ing with indignation because she had
written twenty-four times to her lover
In The Philippines and had received no
reply indeed. she had not heard a word
from him since his departure on the
trOOPShip from San Francisco, and was
confident that he had written her Tegu-
larry, as he had promised to do and
that his letters had either been de-
stroyed or We're lying in some corner
where they had been overlooked, or were
lost on the way, or that ne had been
killed by the Fflipinos and Gen. o is had
neglected to report his death She de-
npunced the expansion policy OF the adj
mtnistration, declared that it was
cruel and wicked war and demanded
that her lover should be sent home at
zee.
On account of the political prominence
{, : the young woman's father, an inquiry
was finally made by cable, at the rate OF
$40 a word, of the director of posts
at Manila. His reply has just been re-
ceived. He found the girls lover with
out any difficulty, enjoying good health
and an average state Of happiness. He
promptly admitted that he had received
lot of letters from his sweetheart in
1Owa-he couldn't remember whether the
exact number was % or 24-but they had
come in lunches by every transport and
had been duly delivered at the camp Of
his company. He also acknowledged
with equal candor that he had not an
sWered any of them because the weather
was too hot, and he wasn't much of a
writer, anyhow. He liked to receive let
tiers, but hated to answer them. and de-
clared that he had told the girl so be-
fore he left home. Therefore he did not
see why she was making such a fuss
about it. He would write her by the
next mail and scold her for making an
official matter of their love affair

certificates, in anticipation of the col
Iectlng OF taxes, by means of which the
city derives its income for current ex-
pehses, is preserved in practically the
same form, with some slight modIfica-
tlons TO conform to the provisions of the
enabling act. These certificates. instead
OF being general obligations of the city.
are made specific charge against the
taxes subsequently levied, and the city
pledges itself to apply the taxes when
collected to the redemption of these GER
tif1cates. These certificates at the pres
ent time are largely sold to individuals
residing in the city, who have small sums
of money to invest. The existing charter
provides that they shall be In denomina-
tons of $500. In order to place them
within the reach of small investors, the
proposed charter provides that not ex-
ceeding one-half of any series of certif-
icates issued may be issued in denomt-
nations of Si00 each.
