ESTIMATED REVENUES.
Deputy Controller Hartley Has De-
cided to Count in Estimated Re-
ceipts from License Tax.

Deputy controller G. \. Hartley. who
Is preparing to compile an estimate of
the revenues for next year. has de-
CiJcd To ascertain. as nearly as possi-
bile. the anonnt of revenue which will
come from the enforcement Of the IL
ccnsc tax ordinance. recently passed,
and to incorporate this amount in his
estimate.
There has been some little discussion
as to whether it would be proper to do
this, ON account of the announcement
on the part of the companies that they
will fight the ordinances. y legal fight.
brought against the measure, would,
of course, hold off for perhaps Il year
or more. the collection of any taxes,
should the ordinance be declared legal.
The position taken by the deputy
controller is that the ordinance is to
be considered legal until declared illc-
gal by the courts, ana that. therefore,
it is perfectly proper for him to form
an estimate of the revenue which will
be derived from the ordinance and in
corporate it in his estimate of revenues.
Several cOuncilmcn seen by q Tribune
man, notably Common Councilman Lu-
thcr Keller. say that they will be
guided by the action of the controller
If the controller includes an csti-
mate of the amount to be derived from
the imposition of this license tax in his
general estimate of revenues" said lIr.
Keller. Il would favor the appropriate
tiOn of that sum. in addition to the
amount appropriated for general city
purposes this year. That will give us
Just so much of an increase. | ann un-
alterably opposed to raising any more
money by the taxation of property and
individuals than we raised this Year.
The tax rate must not be one bit
larger
The deputy controller has not yet
figured out how he is going to csti-
mate the amount TO be derived from
taxation. AS heretofore pointed out in
these columns he can form no such "s-
tilnalc. because the amount of taxes
which councils can now impose is uu-
limited.
The only thing which can be done is
to estimate what Il levy corresponding
to ten mills. this years tax rate, will
amount to. The matter will be brought
up at the next meeting of tn" recor-
dcr'S cabinet, to b" held shortl".

APPROXIMATION NEARLY GONE
Only S1.7OO Left for the Cleaning
of the City's Streets.

Inasmuch as there is only $l10O left
of the $4,000 appropriated for the
clearing of streets, q number of men
have been taken off and the very
strictest economy will be practiced un-
til April next. Director Roche accom-
plished splendid results while he had
money at hand. but he will be handi-
capped for the next few months by
lack of funds.
The flushing of the streets has been
discontinued until spring on account
of the danger to horses on the slip
perry pavements. Three gangs of men
which had been at work all summer
repairing the streets in various parts
of the city We're laid off on Thursday
because of the approach Of winter.

to be on the fence, but right here is
where the Democrats were in the
wrong. All their energy was spent on
Millbury and Douglas but all in vain.
Sutton proved to be a veritable find
for Schuster but the votes were not
needed as he carried his own town,
Douglas, by 204 votes
Mr. Schuster can thank his own
townspeople for his election as they
stuck by him through thick and thin
and showed their hand today by all
coming out and voting for him. The
exact majority Of Mr.. Schuster was 223
as follows: Millbury, majority for
Dempsey 80. Auburn majority for
Dempsey, 81, Sutton majority for
Schuster 50, Douglas majority for
Schuster 204. This will show that
Schuster is the next representative to
the general court and will take the
place of S. E. Hull, retired.
The accompanying cut of Mr.. Schus-
ter is one of his latest and best. Mr.
Schuster is a prominent business man
of Douglas being associated with the
Haywood Wooden Company. He is
well liked by everybody and bound to
make his mark in the Massachusetts
Legislature. Mr. Dempsey. the defeat
ed candidate, has no fault to find. He
stated to The Spy reporter that he was
satisfied with his run and expected to
do better next time
