CITY FACES
DEFICIT Of
$4,000
SPEND FIRST AND THEN GET
SPECIAL APPROPRIATIONS,
SEEMS TO BE POLICY.

A deficit Of $S5, 900 already exists
in the estimated cost of conducting
the city government for the pres
ent year. with nearly four months
yet to run. What the deficit will
be by the first of the year is hard
to determine at this time, but a
conservative estimate places it at
$150,000. Some predict that the
deficit will ru nto 100000. Nearly
all of the city departments have
already about used up their allow
anceS.
Last year the council voted in
creased amounts for the conduct
of the different departments, and
there was talk at that time of
adopting a rule of absolutely hold
ing every department down to the
amount appropriated for the years
maintenance. Nothing was done
and the annual deficit is again ap-
parent.
Now the necessity of some action
to check the departments and hold
them down to the allowances is
again agitated, and the suggestion
is made that the appropriation be
divided into twelve parts and only
so much authorized to be drawn
upon in one month.
In some cities the departments
are rigidly held to their appropria-
tions and no money given except
when the same is requested of the
city council. In Spokane it seems
the plan has been to spend the
money first and then get the spe-
cial appropriation afterward.
Among the items entering into
the deficit at the city hall are
$4,000 for the police department;
$4,000 for improvement inspectors
in the employ of teh engineers
office; $4,000 for the Huron street
sewer; $500 for engineers office

ton, $4,000; health department, $19,-

HOW MONEY
GOES
TAXPAYERS PLAN INVESTIGATION OF AFFAIRS
AT CITY HALL

What have the people of Spokane
to show for the enormous amounts
of money levied by taxation in late
years? Where has the money
gone? These are questions being
asked by some of the taxpayers,
and the city hall remains silent and
continues only to pile up the bur
den of taxation.
When a change of administration
came last spring, the hope was held
in some quarters that better condi-
tions In the expenditure of public
monies would prevail at the city
hall. But instead the pay rolls
have grown, and every nook and
corner Of the city hall is being filled
with tax-eaters, placed on the pay
roll to great extent in excess of
the city's needs. The old Daggett
administration of four years ago
was held up as the personification
Of extravaganza, but there are two
men on the payrolls now. II is said,
to one that was there while Daggett
was in office, and in addition now
the heads of departments have an
nounced another raid on the city
treasury during the coming year in

However, a number of citizens

The baron and a half dozen Of
the others were taken directly to
the exhibit room OF the chamber Of

great revelation to him, for he
could scarcely be convinced that a

grew together and that they really
had not been artificially colored to
give them their beautiful appear
ance.
The wheat and other grain exhib-
its and the minerals all caught the
baron's eye. In fact, he was about
the most interested one in the
group and 1t required some little
time to satisfy him in his search
through the mineral and grain ex-
hibits in his apparent eagerness to
learn all possible about the
country.
After all 1t was rather a mum
crowd. Mayor Pratt and several
others on the reception committee
were assigned to members of the
Japanese delegation who could
speak no English and it was chiefly
by signs that they made one an
other understand. Detective Bush
mingled with the crowd as body
guard, appointed by Chief of Police
Sullivan.
A part of this forenoon will be
taken up in showing the party
about the flour and lumber mills,
and luncheon will be served at
noon in the assembly rooms of the
chamber of commerce. This after
noon they will be taken on "see-

of about $4,000 In the estimate OF

LOOK OUT FOR

Look out for a bad check artist,
for there is one working among the
stores and shops in the outskirts
of the city. Several reports have
already reached the police, but
each has been too late to give the
city's sleuth's fair chance to get
the forger.

last night that he had just discov-

for a young man yesterday after
noon, was worthless. The descrip-

likewise found themselves "stung."
