FINANCIAL
PROBLEM
The City Finds Now That Assess
ment is Too Low-Sanitary Com
mission Matter Discussed
Owners Want Sewer Extended.

A stern problem faces our city council
men in making up the annual tax levy.
A sum of over $40, 900 is needed for all
purposes and the present assessed valua-
tion of little over $500, 900 allows less
than half the necessary amount.
At the adjourned meeting Thursday
night the matter was discussed and it
was finally decided best to let H. A. Bur-
geson, the new assistant city attorney,
figure out the way and report in one
week.
Dickinson has plenty of property and
the present Indebtedness is small as
compared with other cities of similar
size. but the practice in the past has
been to keep the assessment very low
and it is now causing trouble. The coun-
Gil cannot bond or make up the neces-
exceeding the debt limit. No doubt
Attorney Burgeson will find way to
get around the matter in some way, but
another year the city will see to it that

near what it should be.
In this connection it is only fair to
the aldermen to say that during the past
year or two $12, 900 was taken from the
general fund and applied on sewer ac-
counts, SO, 900 for sceptic tank. SIS, 1000
to $40. 900 on permanent water supply
equipment. etc., making in all nearly
$40. O00 At the time it was done there
seemed to be plenty of money in the
general fund.-

Thursday night. showed $11. 563 O3 on
hand. A N. P. Ry. sewer assessment of

amount.

good game for Grundy while Eldora
had hired the Bay City. Mich. pitcher
who has been drafted by the Chicago

He pitched a good game for Eldora but
his support was poor. The second game
was between the Grundy Center high
school and the Eldora high school and
the home team won handily by a score
of s to 1. This game was more inter-
esting than the score would indicate
