ESTIMATES FILED
BY DEPARTMENTS
Alameda City Council Preparing
to Fix the Tax Rate for
the Fiscal Year

ALAMEDA. Sept. 10.-According to
the estimates of the various municipal
departments $336,5S3.S8 will be required
from the next tax levy to operate the
city another year. If the departments
are allowed what is asked in the es-
Inmates 1t would mean a tax rate of
nearly s1.S5 on each 800 of assessed
valuation. But all of the estimates
are TO go through the pruning process
at the hands of the city councilmen
and it is expected that when this is
done the heads of some of the depart
ments will not be able to recognize
what they originally asked for.
Each member of the city council has
been provided with report of the
estimates Of the department heads and
also with a statement of the amounts
that the departments received last year
With these reports to guide them the
councilmen are figuring how low they
can make the tax rate without Grip
ping any department or cutting out
needed improvements.
The amounts asked by the heads of
the various city departments are as
