PROVO EXPECTS TO HAVE
NO SALOONS NEXT YEAR
Liquor License Returns Not Figured
in Estimates of How Much Will Be
Needed TO Run the City.

Provo, July 29.-The council committee
on finance reported an estimate of the
finances needed to conduct the business
of the city for the ensuing year, which IS
plaC ed at S64,500, of which $4,000 is ex-
pected to be received from licenses, poll
taxes, etc, and $4,000 to be collected by
property tax. No estimate was made OF
any returns from saloon licenses, which
this year brings in a revenue of 1850, eX-
elusive Of drug store liquor licenses.
The council believes that Provo Will
nave prohibition next year and, there-
fore, this income Will be cut out. The
needs of the several departments in order
10 make contemplated and necessary I'M
proyements would bring the total levy up
20 - mills, an increase of mills over
TINS years tax, and the council felt that
this advance would be more than the tax
payers could stand. The report was there
fore returned to the committee with in
SructlOnS to attempt some reductions,
and the committee is working on that to-
day. II is probable the amended esti-
mate, which will be presented tonight,
VIII only call for a 17-mill levy. This, II
II carries will prevent many improve
ments being made on the streets, water
works, etc.
