According to these estimates the cx-
penses exceed the revenues by more
than 100000 but as the estimate of re-
ccipts is very much Il matter of guess
work. 1t may be that the real dScrep-
| ancy, when aScertaincd. will not be so
large. Then again. the levy of AZ mills
is purely tictional. This figure was fixed
by the recorder and his cabinet simply
for trial purposes. Councils can make
it more or less.
The estimated expenses for the COM
ing year are 200 in excess of the ap-
preparations for last year, which were

In the recorders department the sum
asked Is S25 less than the amount al
lowed last year. The saving is in the
item for stationery.
The city treasurer asks for an in
crease of $1,000 for clerk hire. He is at
present allowed only $1,000 The clerk
alone receives more than this. He pays
four clerks. This means AN eNpendi-
ture of about $500 month out of his
own pocket.
The controller asks for an additional
5000 to pay the new clerk councils al
lotted him, and $685. for sundry Office
expenses,

were allowed last year. This decrease
is represented mainly by the wages OF

were many ordinances adopted without

always depend upon finding exactly

There are times when it is good
business to make reductions, and
this IS one Of the times.

Collectively these lines comprise

apply to most of the stock, and es-

fast as we expected. Don't know
why. We think they are as stylish
as those that went quickly. We
know one thing will move them and
that is AN EXTRAORDINARY LOW

TECH STUDENTS IN OVERALLs.
Take Places of Strikers In Southern
Shops.

Americus students of the State
School OF Technology are interested in
the news that dozen of their fellow
students have just entered the shops
of the Southern Railway in Atlanta,
taking the places of the striking ma
chinists. It is said that students will
likewise be sent to other shops of that
system. The boys will receive from
81 so to So 90 per day, according to the
kind of work they are capable of do
ing. They work ten hours every day
in the shops in their oYeralls, and go
out in society at night. Captain Hall
says the young men deserve the high
est praise for the work they are doing.
as there are a very few college men
who wear oyeralls during their vaca-
ton. Captain Hall says he does not
believe the boys will be regarded as
''scab" laborers by the union men who
are on strike, as the young men are
working more for the experience than
they are for the money.

While the business men of Amealcus
generally are congratulsting them

have to be paid after this week, the
banks are not so fortunate. There is
a special annual revenue tax of $50 per
81, 900 on the capital stock of each
bank, and this will be due and pay
able this week. With this revenue
tax, added to the city, state and coun-
ty tax rate, the banks of Americus pay
about a per cent in taxes upon their
capital stock. Thus bank with a
capital of $4,000 pays in taxes the
