WILL SOON WIPE
 OUT THE DEFICIT Auditor Says City Finances Are
 All Right SHORTAGE ONLY APPARENT With Money Now Due the s2oo,ooo Deficit Will Be Easily swai- i5wed up-ExplaIns the
 Situation.
SHORTAGE ONLY APPARENT

City Auditor Petersen. in an interview yesterday, stated that when all the taxes and licenses still due the city are col lected, the s200, ,Ooo shortage in 1908 receipts as shown at the present time, will be swallowed up.
 "When l hear people state that Bir- mingham is not paying it's operating ex- penses. l realize that there are many people who do not know anything about the affairs of the municipal government" he said
 'When all the taxes and licenses are collected the decrease of something more than $200,0OO in 1908 receipts as compared with 1909 will be cut down to practically nothing.
 This is true in spite of the fact that the city last year collected $118,OOO in whisky and bucket shop licenses, none of which was collected this year. About s75,O00 of this amount will be covered by license increases this year over last And the taxes, too, have been increased.
 '.The city each year spends much money in the acquisition of equipment and land. This money so expended is charged to the disbursement account But it is read fly seen that it has not gone. It is sim ply invested and will come back again with interest.
 "The city is paying its debts right along and keeping the interest on the bonded in- debtedness paid up. The city is all right. The people cannot realize that the col lection of taxes this year was deferred three months, this fact being accountable, in the main, for the $2o0,00o decrease in receipts as shown at the present time."
