Several families in the city are

The tax levy next year will Be IL
mills In the old limits and 10 mills
in the new limits. The report Of the
finance committee. embodyinE this
recommendation. vas adopted BY
the council last night. An increase
OF a mill and a half II made over
the rate OF last year The raise was
made necessary. despite the heroic
efforts Of the committee TO keep Il
down.
The fixing OF the tar levy. in fact
has been tho only duty OF the year
over which the counciimeu have
shown any real seuaiflyenega They
thought that n any substantial In
crease IN the levy was made the
administration would be charged
with extravaganza and their pollt-
zeal opponents would be given some
excellent campaign material For
this reason they agreed 10 the in
crease with extreme caution.
A. a matter % fact. however. few
taxpayers have expressed any dis
appointment AZ the small increase
made The tax levy even as Il now
stands "a not high. compared with
many other cities II IA the general
belief that the property owners are
well able 20 pay Il.
The chief reason for the necessary
Increase was the fact that the com
mittee was forced 70 provide for the
interest on the water and sewer
bonds of 1888. which was not paid
last year. At that. however. no pro-
vision is made for making up the
sinking fund for the payment Of the
principal. as originally coutemplat-
ed These bonds will be refunded.
The half mill levy that had to be
provided for the library department
and the three-quarter mill levy that
was provided IN the charter amend
ment for the park department. also
contributed 10 the Increase. The
park department asked for a whole
mill. but did not get II.
In order TO keep the rate down
the committee was Obliged to chop
off the appropriation for municipal
garbage collection NEXT year from
t8G 900 10 $4,000 The amount
which the city will pay towards
street Improvement was limited TO
1853 900.
The income for next year Is estl-
mated at $3.50 900. This sum Is made
up ~ $50. 900 from delinquent taxes.
SEQ 900 from fines. licenses and
fees. sl07 600 from miscellaneous
sources. 100000 from water re-
eaipts. 81 900 from library collec-
lions. 1900 from bicycle licenses
and $40 600 from the municipal light
and power plant
The balance that IL expected 10 be
on hand in the city treasury on
