A RED INK REVELATION.

For the first time this year the city
treasurer has been permitted to make
public the exact condition of. the city's
funds at the close of a current month
The figures for April 80 show an over
draft in the general fund, from which
the city's operating expenses are paid
of S250,O00. The balance in the special
funds, consisting wholly of money held
in trust for property owners for special
improvements was S165,0O0 so that the
city is paying interest on $4,000. That
is TO say, the city has already spent all
of it's revenue for this year. so far and
S25O,000 besides; and the revenue from
taxes will not begin to come in until
November.
IL has been surmised that the deficit
in the general fund was very large, but
even the most pessimistic had no idea
it was quite so bad as it is. Nor 5
there any hope that it will be better,
since the experts statement to the
mayor shows that the monthly aver
age deficit until taxes come in will be
about $4,000
The simple statement of the treasurer
is sufficient TO show that the large part
of the proposed 100000 bond issue
must be intended TO cover the deficit
i'm the general fund. On a liberal es-
innate not over half of it can possibly
be applied to new work on public inn
provements. although the councils re-
solutions are so framed as to convey
the impression that all of the 100000
would be spent on new work if the
public voted for the bond issue.
An administration that has created
a deficit of S25O.OOO thus early in the
year, that is going ahead on a most
extrava CANT basis of salaries and pub
lie employees. that shows no disposition
to be frank about what 1t has done or
intends TO do with the public money,
need not be surprised at the lack of
confidence in il which greets its pro-
posaI TO borrow 5000. 900 more on top of
