Briefly summed up, the board of

tice Calhoun stated in concluding his
opinion, that he had very positive
views as to the other legal questions
involved. meaning the right to lease.
but he would not express these views
when they were not necessary, in his
opinion, to a proper disposal of the

grounds, that the views of Judge Cal

Prays for State
Father Caballeria concluded with a
prayer for the success of Ell Canine

Following this even the youngest
child seemed to understand that the
ceremony, so long planned, was over,
and commenced to chatter to every

Dances at Night
The patio of the Plaza church was
thronged with people last evening to
witness the exercises which had been
arranged under the direction of Father
Caballeria.
Old Spanish dances and songs proved
very popular with the large audience
and the young people who appeared
were encored many times. The old
time costumes worn at the morning
service were again in evidence last
evening and the old patio rang with
merry voices.
A stage had been arranged and the
grounds thoroughly lighted, and which
proved a delightful open-air concert

Refundinq

HeIunuin9
The adoption of the aforesaid rates
for the year 1906-07 will necessitate
the refunding of overcollections to those
who have paid their taxes upon unse-
cured personal property. We suggest
that the city clerk be instructed to
refrain from making out the demands
for these refund personal property
taxes until the same have been applied
for by those entitled to them.
We would also suggest that the city
clerk be INSTRUCTED to request the city
auditor to notify all the different de-
partments of the city Of the amount
allowed them under this budget, with
Instructions to inform the different de-
partments that these allowances are
made with the full determination to
require the different departments to
maintain their monthly expenditures
within an amount equal to one-twelfth
OF the allowance made in the budget.
The time has come when the several
departments must Thoroughly under

CITY F|NANCIERS
CONCLUDE BUDGET
PARK DEPARTMENT IS HEAVl-
EST SUFFERER
Street and Engineers Sections Get All
They Ask, Chairman Smith Hav-
Ing So orciered-Deficlt
Averted

The finance committee yesterday
concluded the budget for the ensuing
year and several of the departments
feel they have been badly abused as
consequence.
The park department considers itself
the heaviest sufferer. While this de-
partment asked for $252,000 it received
but $1S0,000 Owing to this reduction
the proposed conservatory in Eastlake
park and an aviary in Westlake park
will have to be postponed for another
year. Not only is this the case, but
Superintendent Morley declares he will
be unable to hire any more men.
The parks were given $4,000 over
last years allowance, but the increase
in salaries of the employees will eat UP
this amount.
The street department and the en-
g1neer's department received about all
they asked from the finance commit
tee. Councilman Smith, chairman of
this committee, before the budget was
made up, declared that these two de-
partments should be well treated If all
others had to suffer.
One innovation introduced into the
report on the annual budget is that no
department will be allowed for any one

The budget and the report of the
| finance committee is as follows:
Previous Experience
Again the duty devolves upon your
finance committee to prepare the an
rual budget for another year. beginning
July 1, 1906.
Because of the greater assessed val
uation levied by the city assessor, the
amount of reductions necessary to keep
the allowance within the 81 rate have
been less than have been experienced
in former years, and still the prepar-
ing of an annual budget for a city
making such rapid strides as Los An
geles is an undertaking that can be
carried out only by profiting by pre-
vious experience.
The allowances made for the fiscal
year 1906-07 are based upon the as
sessed valuation reported by the clerk

tofore been able to allow anything for

ring during the year. We have. how
ever, allowed for election expenses DUR
ing the present year, $4,000.
General or Emergency Expenses
For general expenses (Which are the
only expenses allowed from the cash

following expenditures:

minor miscellaneous expenses already
incurred and those to be incurred dur

We have also allowed, in full, the
estimate made by the board of public
works for the collection and incinera-
tion Of garbage, amounting to $69,54O,

to make the payments upon the con-
tract price of the incinerator as well as

The board of public works began
their duties March /, 1906. and were
compelled to undertake the manage

amended city charter) under great dis
advantage, some of the departments
laboring under heavy deficits. The al

Charter Limitations
Under the Limitations of the city
charter we are entitled to use 81 for
each $10O valuation for all municipal
purposes other than payments on the
bonded indebtedness, which, under the
assessed valuation above mentioned
would give us an income from taxatio
amounting to S2,029,S57.

allowances for the different de-
partments aggreRating total of
of this amount of. of.................$ 50, ,029. .S57

enue we have estimated the revenue

other than taxation of 465 600
Which together with
the above mentioned
money, would give a
total revenue of.....~ 81. s57
Increased Valuation
The increased valuation of pra ctioal-
ly 100000 over 1905-06 gives us an
increased revenue from taxation of
about $46O, 0O0 Although the several
departments have increased their esti-
mates considerable above the estimates
for 1905-06, we have used our best ef-
forts to adjust this increase in the
revenue as equitably as possible, and
we present herewith the result of our
work for your consideration.
Tax Levy
In order to be able to meet the pay
nlents On the bonded indebtedness, we
recommend the following tax levy;

sented herewith for adoption.
Most of the minor departments have
asked and been allowed a moderate
increase over the allowance OF 19O5-O6,
but the departments requiring a larger
outlay have received a larger proper
ton of this increase because OF the
urgent necessities OF those departments.
