MAYOR FORCES CUT IN LEVY
oOmpsls Council te Knock Of Hundred and
Twenty Five Thousand DollarL
ToTM RATE WILL Be HFrY-sW MILLS
Decrease Partially Due 20 Increased
Assessed Valuation, Last Levy
Being sixty-Four and
Eight Tenths.

Forced by Mayor Dahlman. the council
agreed yesterday TO a $4,000 cut in the
proposed 100000 tax levy for city purposes
IN 1907. The mayor met the council In In
formal and special sessions and told It he
had done some studying and concluded that
$4,000 could be Topped from the sinking
fund and t5O.oO0 from the general fund. He
read veto Of the 81, 900, 900 tax levy, Civ
ing his reasons IN the belief that 1880
could be cut of without much difficulty
and pointing out that the council had no
alternative but grant the school board
levy OF Is mills instead Of cutting II down
to IL mills.
Councilrnen at once undertook to show
his honor that the sinking fund might be
reduced, but nothing could be saved on
municipal expenditures otherwise because
the city Is growing rapidly and needing
more money every year. The executive,
however. said that FIVE months remained
for the council to figure out a way Of
economising and rejecting superfluities and
he was convinced that IL only limited
sum of money was available ways of re-
trenchment would be found. The sinking
fund, he pointed out. is now the receptacle
of back taxes and scavenger law revenues,
and 1t is not necessary to redeem bonds
falling due, but make renewal issues.
Ninety-Four Per Cent I'm Hand.
The mayor said that while 90 per cent Of
the amount levied is available only unless
a higher percentage is collected. that In
1904 "a per cent of the current years taxes
had been received and in 1906 90 per cent
with the cleaning up of back taxes by
the scavenge- law, he was Of the opinion
that the collections in 1907 would reach IS
per cent. which would yield $4,000 over
the usual 80 per cent limit.
To the importunings of councilmen, his
honor turned a deaf ear and declared
quietly thai he would veto a resolution
emitting the decreases he proposed. AS
the county commissioners agreed to walt
only until Wednesday morning before MAX
ing the levy, time was not available for
the council to receive a second veto and
pass 1t over the mayors head. They had
to accept the first veto because of the
error in the school tax levy. Councilman
Bedford remarked that the legislative body
was badly up against 1t and there was
nothing left to do except to comply with
the executives wishes. Hence an agree
ment to comply. The resolution was
adopted at a special meeting in the after
noon
The action means about a 56-mill levy
for the city, against GAS mills in 1906, the
decrease being partly accounted for by in
creased assessment valuation. figured on a

The movement on foot to have the
president pardon Burton is unlikely to
be pressed at the present time. How
ever, the supreme court will not act
on BurtOns motion for a rehearing
until October.

JULY IS GENERALLY A "S|zzlER
Observer Newman Says Average Tenn
perature for Twenty Years Has
Been "a Degrees.

July, according to the data issued
by Observer Newman, is regarded by
the weather man as what is known
as a "sizzler" The data issued covers
a period of 20 years back and the OBJ
server says it must not be construed
as a forecast of weather conditions
that may prevail next month, but
merely record of conditions that
have prevailed in the past
The mean or normal temperature is
IA degrees The warmest month was
that of 1896 when an average tempera-
ture of 70 degrees was recorded and
the coolest was in 1902 when the tenn
perature was 20 degrees. The highest
temperature recorded in July was Ill
degrees on the 21st of the month in
1905 and the lowest was As degrees
on the 9Th in 1891.
The average precipitation is AZ
of an inch with three days on which
O1 or more Of precipitation occued.
The greatest precipitation recorded for
the month was LAT inches in 1904 and
the least was a trace in 1899. The
winds have been from the south with
an average velocity of So miles per

ity against the legality of the ordinance
so great that there seems but little
question. as to its illegality.
Section 80 of our charter provides:
That any freeholder may take the con-

certain conditions. This would be i'm
possible if the contract was for a

Spokane street from East Main to

Mayor Hunt went east the day after
vetoing these ordinances and the coun-
Gil re-passed them during his absence
and let the contracts to the Warren
Construction company.
Competitive bidding was had Thurs
day night in earnest, with the result
that when these paving companies are
fairly pitted against each other, what
would otherwise cost the city $217 per
square yard, they offer to do now for
$1.75. The record tells the story, not
