WARDS NEED MUCH MONEY
Controller Tabulates Figures Showing
Funds Various Districts Will Get.

For purposes of reference, City Con-
tHoller Dan G. Brown has compiled
comparative summary Of the ward
taxes for the present year and the esti-
mated returns for 1907. The ward
taxes this year aggregated $210,042.
On the basis Of the valuations and the
ward levies, the thirteen wards will
have $235,830 at their disposal next
year. The increase will come handy
to most. of the wards, as the street
commissi toner's rarely have sufficient
funds with which to do the necessary
work
Only the fourth and the fifth wards
will have less incomes than this year,
the fourth showing a reduction from
$57 1854 to $55,735, and the fifth a, re-
duction from $32,29S to $26,l97.
The eighth ward will have $24,16l-
an increase: Of $9,000-and will need
most of it in placing Hennepin avenue
in good condition. The second ward
will have $2l ,626-an increase Of $4,000
and the third ward fund will amount
to $27 ,000-an increase of nearly $4,000.
All the other wards VII have more
money by about $4,000 than they had
this year.
