FIX CITY LEVY
At 10 MILLS
REVENUE OF $s21,453 WILL
BE RAISED ON VALUATION
OF s62, ooo, 900 FOR MUNICIPAL
EXPENSE.

Comptroller Farley yesterday
brought an adding machine into
the executive session of the city
council which met to finally fix
the tax levy. The comptroller had
listened to the councilmen's adding
Thursday night and was little i'm
pressed with its accuracy. OF the
10 councilmen who added one set
of figures Thursday night each one
found different total, and the
city clerk, comptroller and news
papermen's figures were still diff
ferent. Farley, in his rich Scotch
brogue, said as he set the heavy
machine upon the table:
Gentlemen, here's an adder that
never makes mistakes. Is there
anyone who can engineer it?'
Councilmen looked blankly from
one to another. Finally arose
Councilman Schiller and stated
that he could. Thereafter Mr.
Schiller was the boss carpenter
with the big stick and whenever
he added column of figures he
smote the estimates upon the hip
When the smoke cleared away
finally the tax levy was fixed al
10 mills and councilmen who had
wrested with pen and pencil until
blue in the face, almost, heaved
signs of relief, for they had work
ed hard and worried long, and aft
er many meetings could not cut
the evident levy below liz mills
Wonderful machine, that,
quoth Schiller, as he patted the
adder kindly. Backed by figures
which couldn't lie the councilmen
made short work of finishing the
annual cutlass act.
The 10 mill levy is expected to
raise $621 ,453 on valuation OF
probably little over S62,000,0 900
The total expenses of the depart
ments allowed amounted to 1926,
S53. The estimated revenues are
$685. 400 for the year.
The final cuts of yesterday were
in the police, health, library and
fire departments. The former. &C
ton Of allowing the police depart
ment IL more men was repudiated
and six allowed instead. This cut

The health department was cut
again from $36,250, the first cut
to S25.050. 1t was cut under what
it spent last year. which was $35,

an additional protest of Mrs. Els

said that if her request for $32.25(

partment sustained final cut from
$169,270 to $151 900. The proposed
water tower, which would cost
$500. was eliminated.

The thirty-seven statesmen enrolled in
the Y. NJ, c. A. class are 10 put unique
plan Into operation this week at the sug-
gestion OF one OF the members at last
class session. Each salesman is TO be
visited by the members OF the class, AS
far as possible all knowledge oil the vls-
itor's identity will be kept from the sales
man. who Is thus unconsciously TO make
dents.
The result already obtained by this plan
has been TO put every one OF the statesmen
on edge expecting some one representing
the class, whether a member or q friend,
To come Into their store and go through
the formality OF a sale, only TO be told
that they are testing for salesmanship
before the class and a criticism given by

Transfers Claim They Only Get
Is Gents Extra for Haul
ing Coal.
INCREASE WAS MADE
IN THEIR BEHALF
But Dealer Is Raking Off 10
Cents on Almost Every
Ton.

When the coal dealers Of Salt Lake
City announced that on and after No
vember of this year the price Of coal
would be increased % cents per ton,
from $3.50 to $5.75, the reason assigned
for the increase was that the teamsters
demanded more money for hauling the
fuel; that they were not making a
sufficient per diem at the rate of so
cents per ton, and the hauling fee
must be increased to 70 cents per ton,
This was accepted by the public as
n satisfactory explanation of the in
crease, and all was well, apparently.
But comes now the teamster, who de-
clares that he is not receiving the ad~
ditional % cents per ton; that his
portion thereof is only 15 cents per
ton. aud the dealer gets the balance, 10
cents per ton.
In the main the statement made by
the teamster is not denied by the
dealer. True. where coal is hauled an
exceptionally long distance--to the Uni
the % cents; but IN the ordinary
course OF events in the coal business
ne is only getting l5 cents per ton;
the additional 10 cents goes TO the
dealer.
This appears TO be another method,
somewhat under cover, employed by
the coal dealer to increase his profits,
Objection is made that if the teamster
is satisfied with his extra ID cents, the
matter should not be stirred up. But
is the teamster satisfied And is the
coal consumer satisfied! Always in
the end it is up to the dear public TO
pay. And the consumer usually paws
with resignation, if not with cheerful
ness.
Be it understood that the mine
operators and the railroads are in this
instance in no way responsible for this
increase. The dealer said the increase
was made on behalf of the teamster,
and the dealer does not explain tho 10
cents per ton transaction. The price
OF coal at the mine mouth is still the
same, 1925 per ton. The freight rate
per ton remains unchanged, $l15 per
ton. Commercial coal T. O, b. Salt
Lake. to the wholesaler, is therefore,
as OF old, $500 per ton. The price to
the consumer is S5.75 per ton. And
the explanation OF the increase is as
given above.
