PUzZLE-FIND THE SAVING
Question of EcOPOmy I'm Combination
of Treasures is AEitatinE
Some Statesmen,

Citizens who interested themselves at the
last session of the legislature in having
the city taxing and treasury departments
combined with those of the county in an
effort toward economy are wondering where
the economy comes in with the new demo-
cratic council cOnfessing an inability TO
reduce the 1907 budget under that of the
present year. The charter revisers figured
they would save about $4,000 a year by
looping off the tax commissioners office,
$4,000 by theIcity treasury, $500 by the
Advisory board and S4.7O0 by the Board of
Public works, all amounting to over s52 900
annually. Against this was to be deducted
$4,000 to cover the cost of the amounts
paid the county for collecting taxes and
for increases in the wages paid to coun-
cilmen and other city officials and three
new councilmen, but net saving Of $4,000
was 10 result from the consultations.
Under the assessment for the present year
the amount represents about Ia mills, but
no talk has been heard at the city hall
about any reductions, except from Mayor
Dahlman, who is anxious TO find out II
something cannot be done toward redeem
ing platform pledges about "retrench-
ment."
