WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 9.-The
navy department has announced the
completion of the important hydro
graphic surveys of the Great Lakes
that have been going on for several
years. The charts that have been made
as result of these surveys are ex-
pected to be of great benefit to the
navigation interests, which, already
enormous, are growing every year.
Charts are now in existence showing
the soundings throughout the lakes,
with the exception of a part of the
Canadian shore of Lake Superior. The
survey work of the Michigan, the old
naval vessel stationed on the lakes, has
been most beneficial to the maritime
interests, the navy department says,
and the ship will not be needed for
survey work henceforth, except to
search for and destroy newly discov-
cred dangers to navigation which may
be reported from time to, time. g.,

THE CONTROLLERS ESTIMATE.

The estimate by the city comptroller
of the necessary expenses and the total
revenue to be raised by taxation in st.
| Paul for the year 1904 has been sub
mitted to the conference committee.
1t will be safe guide for them to fol-
low. 1t is also a~witness of economi-
the reflection of this careful manage
ment in the tax rate will be exceedingly
gratifying to the PEOPLE.
The amount which, is estimated as
necessary to be raised by taxation for
city revenue is s1,74Q,1S5. This is de-
crease of more than 100000 from. the
total of last year. If this estimate shall
be followed by the conference commit
tee, the tax rate will be reduced by
about three and one-quarter mills. That
is the end to which the property own
ers OF the city and all of those who de-
sire to see it's growth encouraged by
the Tightening of tax burdens have
been looking forward. Nothing should
be permitted to interfere with its real
ization.
The estimate for the various funds
will be found in detail in our news
columns. Out of the twenty-four funds,
eleven remain the same as last year, in
most cases the full amount being ap-
propriated that is permitted by the
charter. The sum set aside for the
sinking fund practically balances that
heretofore necessary for the redemp
ton of bonds. These amounts answer
the same public purpose under different
names.
The important changes as compared
with last year are increases Of $4,000
in the board of control fund, and de-
creases of $4,000 in the school fund,
$4,000 in the workhouse fund, nearly
$4,000 in the bridge building and re-
pair fund, and $3S500 in the general
appropriations Of last year are not
significant. On the whole, the work
has been done with good judgment,
conservatism and an intelligent desire
to exhibit practical economy in the in
terest of the people without impairing
any public function Or service.
The details of the budget will now be
threshed out by the conference COM
mittee, and many and considerable will
be the demands upon it for increases
in the, proposed allowances. Each de-
partment of the city government will
desire more; in all of them it is prob
able that more could be used to ad-
vantage. But the face of this body
should be set like a rock against any
increase of the total of the proposed
appropriations. Some changes, no
doubt, there will be. The judgment of
the conference committee will alter the
proportions Of these allotments, but it
ought not TO increase the total. Its
rule should be that, If it finds it ad-
visable to add dollar of expense any
where, this should be done only after
looping off just as much elsewhere
We have seen how it may be possible
to pursue the way of a reasonable mu-
nicipal economy sand realize lower
tax rate, and that is what the people,
not unreasonably, want. This estimate
is careful, painstaking and practicable.
Whatever may be it's shape after the
conference committee has had it under
final consideration, the consolation that
it offers to the taxpayer should not be
destroyed or diminished.
