BEATING THE BUDGET
CITY Is RUNNING AHEAD IN ITS
EXPENDITURES.
BUT WILL COME OUT RIGHT.
LAST SIX MONTHS OF THE YEAR
WILL CORRECT THE FIRST.

City Treasury Has Run Low, but
VIII be Replenished for the Next
Quarter-Depnrtm Draw Heay-
ally During the First six Months.
House Drainage and Paving Over
drawn-Lntter Account VIII Have
Credits Made by Property Owners
Payments-Mayor Myers ON the
observation-disclosures Pays Its Bills
PromptIy-NO Especial Need for
New Methods of Accounting.
The chairmen of the several commit
tees of the City Council in charge of the
departments of the city government have
been urged to look closely TO their ex-
penditures. The funds in the city treas
ury have run low because of some of
the departments having overdrawn their
accounts, and Mayor Myers is anxious
that the committees see to it that the
expenses are kept as low as possible. The
treasurer will welcome such care, for, I'M
less economy is shown. he will soon find
himself unable to pay the bills passed by
Council.
Mayor Myers said yesterday that the
stringency now evident in the city's
finances is only temporary, as 1t will give
way before the receipts that will soon be
coming in for another quarter He entic-
ipates no deficit at the end of the year,
or if any at all. a small one.
THE several departments for which ap-
preparations are made in the city bud
get said the Mayor. draw upon their
accounts heavily during the first six
months. The result is that the treasury
is taxed to meet the demands. The strain
becomes considerable at times During
the latter six months of the year condi-
tons have a chance to reach the normal.
for the drafts made upon the treasury
by the departments have then become
smaller.
THE special appropriation for house
drainage has been considerably over
drawn. The appropriation was for $4,000,
but the expenditure has already run to
something like $40. 900. Paving. too, has
been a drain upon the treasury, for there
has been a good deal of il done this year.
The appropriation was for $4,000, but
the city has probably paid out $4,000, as
it has had to meet the proportion of the
cost tnat VIII eventually be defrayed by
the property owners. Owners OF abut-
ling property are given from three to
four months in which to pay their pro-
portion of the cost and it is after the
paving has been paid for by the city that
the money from the property owners is
paid in. serving then to correct a SEEM
ing deficit
Savannah, different from many cities
! know of, always pays it bills prompt
ly. They are not hung up for days or
weeks. as is the case in some cities where
creditors have to wait for money to be
paid into the treasury before it can be
paid out
The Mayor says he does not believe
there is any necessity for a change in
the accounting methods employed by the
city. In place the size of Savannah, he
said, conditions are so far removed from
those that prevail in a city like New
York or Chicago as 40 render such meth
DDS as are employed here comparatively
satisfactory There are a few particu-
lars. however, he believes, in which the
present bookkeeping of the city might be
improved

NEW STATE REVENUE LAW.


Now Before the Legislature.
In the State Senate on February 81
Mr.. Pitt introduced an Act to provide
revenue for the State of Nevada,
which, il it becomes a law, will make
some radical changes in the system
now in force.
The greater portion Of the present
revenue law is embodied in the new
measure, and to this is added a num-
Der of new sections regarding the
method Of assessing and equalizing
taxes throughout the several counties
of the State.
One OF the most important provis-
ions of the Act is that providing Tor a
State Board OF Assessors and Equaliz-
alton. This Board is to consist of all
the County Assessors in the State, the
Controller being the Chairman, and
his deputy the Clerk OF said Board,
| but neither the Chairman nor Clerk
shall be allowed a vote in its proceed
ings.
This Board is to meet at the State
| Capitol, holding two sessions each
year. At the first meeting, which is
to be held on the second Monday in
| January, the Board shall assess such
property as it shall by law be author
| lied to assess, and at the second meet
ing, which is to be held on the second
Monday In September, it shall equal
ize the valuation Of the taxable prop
erty of the several counties in this
State as authorized and directed by
law /; provided. however, if this Act
becomes a law, the first meeting in
1901 shall be held in March.
1t shall be the duty of the State
Board to assess all railroads, and the
rolling stock thereof, in this State, at
their actual cash value, and to appor-
ton such assessments to the counties
in which such roads are located, in
proportion to the number Of miles Of
main track therein, the total assess
ment on side tracks to go to the county
in which they are located.
Another just and equitable provis-
ion of this Act is that found in Sec
ton 157, which provides that the
Board shall have power to equalize
the taxable property of the several
counties, taking into consideration
their geographical situation, and in
this manner arriving at the actuaI
value OF real and personal property
including all kinds Of live stock, etc.
Thus, in a county which is isolated
and far removed from market, the val
