HAD HOPED 10 REDUCE
TAX LEVY THIS YEAR

1t has been an ambition Of the pres
ent city council to reduce the NUM-
cipal tax levy this year. but. on &C
count of the demand upon the treas
ury from extraordinary sources, its
members have become convinced that
II will be impossible to do so. The
levy is twenty-five mills on tax
able property OF something more than
s.. 500 900. from which an annual rev.
enue of approximately $4,000 is
raised for city purposes.
Between $500 and $4,000 has been
paid out by the council during the
last twelve months to meet tmpera-
tive. but unexpected demands upon
It. II these demands had not arisen
the amount expended in satisfying
them. need not have been appropriat-
ed, hence would have remained as a
surplus in the treasury. Among these
extraordinary OUTLAWS may be men,
toned the sum ef $4,000. which was
spent in Connection with the recently
ceded city park at the top OF the Royal
Gorge OF this amount $1,000 was set
aside for the purchase OF the land
claims OF private individuals located
within the park boundaries: $500 was
paid out for surveying and plating
and $500 was required to pay attor-
neys fees, court costs, etc. in same
necessary litieAtion.
or the other items $500 was appro-
priatei from the city treasury for the
Coal Creek Relief fund; $500 to a.
sist in bringing the proposed Tri-
Bullion smelter to Canon City and
$500 to assist In the work of clarifying
the Arkansas river. II the unexpected
does not happen again the tax levy
can be reduced next year.
