Estimate of Treasurer.

For the coming fiscal year City Treas
urer True figures that a revenue of $4,000
can be anticipated provided legislation
does not interfere with the clty's income
from saloon licenses. Mr.. True has pre-
pared an estimate which he will submit
at the meeting of tho city council next
Monday. at which time action on the APP
preparation ordinance is looked for.
In his communication Treasurer True
says:
My estimate OF the amount that will be
available this coming year, providing
there is no legislation or anything else
that will deprive us of the saloon tax that
we are now getting, is $4,000, but no more.
and from this amount there should be set
aside at least $1,000 for contingencies.
Last year no appropriation was needed
for election. This year we will have to
provide $500 for this purpose for sal
5000; Engineers department, $500; print
ing and supplies, 1920; city pound, $3.50;
city hall, $1,000. am presuming these
amounts to be necessary for the coming
year, being the same as last.
The appropriation for the Health depart
ment will have to be Increased from 1850
to 1880 TO provide for the necessary ex-
pense. This will leave the police, fire and
streets and alleys departments to he ad-
justed as you deem necessary. II will

source of Revenue.
The estimated revenue for the fiscal
year now drawing to a close was made up
as follows:
Ten-mill levy. .SSS 600
Liquor licenses. 80. 900
Left over from police fund ...... 1900
Total ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS $780, 900
For the fiscal year ending March 81,
1908, the appropriations had been made
on an anticipated revenue Of $4,000,
which Is the amount Treasurer True says
can be expected during the coming fiscal
year. To come within the revenue an
ticipated for the fiscal year now closing
It was found necessary to reduce the ap-
Precipitation for the police department
$500 and that for the fire department
$1,000. The appropriation for the streets
and alleys fund was also reduced 81. 900,
with the result that this department has
been without funds for ordinary expenses
for several months and the paved streets
in the business section OF the city have
assumed the appearance of dirt roads.
As stated In Mr.. True's communication
TO the city council, provision VIII have
TO be made for paying the monthly in
stallments on the new central fire sta
tion. How much will have to be paid on
this during the next fiscal year will de-
pend altogether on the time that Con.
tractor Hughes takes to construct IN
building. Mr.. Hughes stated yesterday
that he was prepared TO begin work the
moment the foundations and arches
