DEMOCRATIC RECORD.

GINCE the Democrats have made loud sound
- ing boasts of their record in dealing with
municipal affairs in the hope of compelling the
voters to return them TO power, it may be we'll
to review the management Of the city under the
Democrats. In spite OF large surplus turned in
from the Water Department during twelve years
in which the Democrats controlled council the
deficit at the end of the fiscal year steadily in
creased until in 1905 it aggregated S7o,ooo-an
illegal loan of $4,000 and unpaid bills amounting
TO $4,000. On July I, 1905, Republican City
Council took over this legacy Of debt from the
Democrats They had no other alternative but to
increase the tax rate. For twelve months the Re-
publieans were Handicapped by an intrigue which
kept thetDemocrats in actual control of Council
forathes sentire. year
During sthe last eleven months, however, the
Republicans have been in control OF City Council
Withoutlresorting to the necessity Of increasing
estax rate the entire deficit has been wiped out
and the council will close the present year without
having to borrow penny Had Council last year
recevedsthe surplus of the Water Department
as it did this year, Council could have made many
more needed improvements and it would have
closed that year with large surplus
The Republican legislature this year provided
! orithe 100000 loan for the Water Department.
/. Thelatter had agreed to give to Council this
year. surplus of $4,000, but when the Legisa-
relenacted that the funds in the hands OF the
Water Department should be handed, over to
Council the commissioners tried to divert the
/ funds for permanent improvements which should
have been paid for out Of the proceeds of the
/ bondiissue. This move was checked by the city
fauditortand the attempt to keep Council out Of
these funds failed Council has since returned to
the commissioners all the funds needed for cur
/ rent expenses and pay rolls OF the department.
The latter, however has placed two loans for S2s-
600 each with which to pay on account Of per-
manent improvements and not current expenses.
Was this in accordance with the law? Between
100000 and 100000 is due on contracts made
J by the department when the department had not
funds to meet them. Had not the Republican
Council and Legislature come to the rescue the
J Department would have been in pitable plight
F, The attempt Of the Democratic writers to make
il appear that Councils deficit left over from the
Democratic Council was paid off by creating a
loan Of $4,000 in the Water Department should
receive the rebuke OF all fair-minded citizens II
is merely an effort to hide the doings of the
Water Department. The Democrats have always
handed down debts and deficits for their Repub-
lcan successors to pay, but in every known in
stance the Republicans have shown their fitness
to handle the reins of government by giving the
people Of the city, county or State an economical
government with needed public improvements at
