Mayor Favors increase,

Mayor Donald is in favor of iu-
creasing the park levy to a half or
three quarters of mill, and would
be glad if it were possible to make
it one mill; Councilmen Greer. Cam
eron. Mccullough, McGrath and 9TH
ers would like to provide for the park,
but they think the schools should
be provided for first, and the gen
eral opinion is that there viii not be
sufficient funds to justify them in in
creasing the park levy. however much
they are inclined to favor such an ac-
ton.
The council cannot levy more than
IL - mills for all purposes, and the
amounts to be derived from this levy
must be appropriated to the various
departments as the wisdom of the
councilmen suggests, after going
through the budget and hearing recon-
mendations from the various depart
ment heads.
The park commission is very de-
sirous of having the park funds i'll
creased so that the good work which
has been started may be continued
uninterruptedly. and a large number
of citizens also are favorable to an
increase Of this fund. but when the
10 ID mills shall he exhaus+ad tho
council will have arrived at its rows
end, unless the citizens of the city
see fit to ask for an election in order
to increase the tax levy.

bility will be of vital Importance to
the manufacturing interests in that
section of the state, especially the
lumbermen.
Congressman Bowers will also take
prominent part in the effort to Sc
cure a Congressional appropriation to
be used in building system of break

term from nine to seven months when
the tax levy for the next ilscal year

With the view to ascertainlpy their
sentiment with regard to this matter
a News reporter this morning inter
viewed members of the school board
and the city council, and while it ap-
pears that there may be some reduc-
tion in the general budget
A majority of the councilmen
are opposed to reducing the public
school term by the fraction of day.
The school board is a unit in stand
ing up for more efficient ard better
equipped public school system, and
in view of the fact that without ex-
ception the members of this board are
among the city's heaviest taxpayers.
their recommendation doubtless will
carry considerable weight.

QUESTION OF POWER
and NOT SENTIMENT
Mayor and Councimen Would Be Glad
to Make Liberal Provision For This
Fund But Must Be Governed by
Needs Of Other Departments.

From present indications, the pros
poets of an increased assessment for
the purpose of improving Hamper
Park appear to be decidedly unfavor-
able, and while the mayor and a ma
jority of the councilmen are known to
be in favor of making a liberal pro-
vision for this purpose. the prevail
ing sentiment apears to be that it
will not be possible to increase the
levy. and some are doubtful if any
levy can be made for this purpose
without crippling the efficiency of 9TH
er departments.
The city council, in fixing the tax
levy tonight, will be confronted by
some very troublesome and delicate
complications, and each department
will undoubtedly contend for what
they believe to be their just rights.
while the council will be placed in
the attitude of being compelled to de-
eide the various phases of the differ
ent questions with the view of equity
and justice to all.
