City Council Makes Increase of
One Mill.
Stands as Agreed Upon by the
Committee.
MUCH BUSINESS DONE.
Heavy Rains Cause Demands on
City Treasury.
Eighteenth Street Car Tracks a
Bone of Contention.

There was no discussion in the city
council last night over the amount of
the tax levy necessary for the coming
year and no opposition to the PROPOSE
ton to increase the tax levy from 10 to
20 mills as had been recommended by
the committee on ways and means. One
or two friends of the park Improvement
movement in Topeka, who were anxious
about the increase of the levy for park
purposes, were present. This feature of
the new levy called forth not a single
protest. The changes from last year are,
reduction of y mill from the levy for
the interest fund for city bonds and
increases of one half mill each for the
park improvement fund, the hydrant
rental fund and the improvement bond
principal fund.
Following will be the distribution of
the tax levy for city purposes during
the coming wear
