CITY BEGINS YEAR
WITH Sl,890,358
EXCEEDS LAST FISCAL YEAR
BY 100000
Auditors Report Shows That Los
Angeles Municipal Finances
Are in Better Shape
Than Ever

In spite of the vigorous protest of the
Municipal league, which declared a few
months ago that Los Angeles would
certainly end the fiscal year with a
big deficit, the annual report of the
city auditor submitted yesterday
shows a surplus of s1,s9O,35S to begin
the new year with-more than was on
hand at the beginning of the last fiscal
year by nearly 100000.
This surplus includes bond and light
ing accounts that can be used for no
other purposes than for the payment of
interest on bonds and ornamental
lighting assessments, but the surplus
from the self-supporting departments
and from the tax receipts amount to
more than 100000. and this money can
be placed in the general cash fund and
distributed among the various depart
ments for the next fiscal year
Receipts from self supporting ac-
counts last year amounted to $1,SS4, ,144.
The expenditures of these departments
totaled s1,316.742, leaving a balance to
begin the new year of $567,401
Water Pays Heaviest
OF these departments the water board
! is the heaviest contributor.
From the tax account s2,S22.772 was
received and $2,6S1,S479O expended
| leaving $40, 924 to be distributed by
| the finance committee among the Vari-
Gus departments this year.
The bond accounts show $2,745, 5S1 re-
ceived during the year and 1859. 441
! expended. This leaves a balance OF
81, ,1S0 139. These bonds include the out
fall sewer and Owens river bonds. and
the money remaining in the fund can
be applied to nothing but the payment
of interest and a certain portion of the
principal each year. The ornaments
lighting fund shows that s55473 has
been received and S535S1 disbursed
leaving 1892 uneXpended.
The recapitulation shows that there
was $1S63212 on hand at the beginning
of the fiscal year. Receipts to July L
amounted to $5.644,759, giving the city
a total fund of $7,507.97l.
Payments for the same perlot
amounted to $5,617612 leaving a bal
ance in the treasury at the close o
business for the year of $3.50, 35S.

COMPLAINT OF MINERS.
Say State Does not Receive
Full Credit,

1t is amusing to the men who
produce the gold bullion Of this
district to read Of the effort being
made by Mr.. Joseph Pink ham, Of
Boise to have the shipments made
to the assay Office at that city, in
as much as through past experien-
Gee there have been some very un-
satisfactory returns made which is
the cause of the larger shipments
being made to other assay Offices
in different parts OF the United
States. One instance in particu-
lar may be explained when in a
quantity Of bullion melted from
the same ''cleanup" letorted in
the same retort and moulded in
two separate bricks, gave returns
Of Si6.1O and Sl6.S8 per ounce.
Similar cases have caused hundreds
Of thousands of dollars to be sent
to other states. At the Wisconsin
Office, where large shipment is
made each year, there are better
returns than the Boise Office ever
gave. Colorado and California
give from IL to % cents better val
ues than Idaho and why should
not the miner send his bullion to
the best market? The former as
sayer at Boise city always gave
miners the true values of his bull
lion, but he was removed from
office for political reasons and the
miner was not long in learning the
change had been made, consequent
ly Idaho does not get credit for her
output Of gold by several hundred
thousands Of dollars, and will not
until the man who maker. the bull
lion can get its just values.

meeting and and let us talk mat
ters over. and decide to do some
