Council wiz Discuss Appropriation
Ordinance and Revenues.

Some of the city officials are nclined
to the opinion that City Treasurer True
is too optimistic in estimating the contem-
plated revenues OF the municipality for the
new fiscal year, For the year now draw
ing to a close the revenues were estimated
at $4,000. but Mr. True figures that the
income Of the city during the ensuing year
will be 5000 As a large portion of this
revenue is derived from uncertain sources.
such as saloon licenses. police court fines
and forfeitures, some of the ccuncilmen
figure that the income during the next
twelve months will be less, owing to ad-
verse legislation.
At the same. time city officials generally
figure that 3s5, 900 should be raised to
properly maintain the several municipal de-
partments. Mayor Maloney stated yester-
day that he would suggest that the appro-
~priation for the police department be
placed at $2s, go, which will be $1,000 more
than for the year now closing. The fire
department., he contends, will need at least
81 200 more to defray the cost of new hose
and the payments on the new central fire
station. II ,thissis agreed to by the coun-
ell the appropriation for the fire depart
ment will he {S6, 700 instead of $24, 800, as
fixed a year ago.
owing to the fact that next January
there win be a city primary election and
then in March the regular municipal cleo
ton, an appropriation of $500 will have to
be made for this purpose.
According to City Treasurer True and
Mayor Maloney, it will take $S4, go to main
tain the different city departments during
the new fiscal year. and II this is the case
there. VIII be. practically nothing left out
of the contemplated revenue of SIS. 900 for
the contingent or emergency fund. In pre-
pairing his estimate Mr.. True suggests that
at least $1,000 be set aside for contln-
gencies.

Franklin Model ID

When you want to make time, what is the
limiting factor? Is it the horsepower of the
motor. or is it the way the automobile rides
There is only one answer. and it explains why it is that
Franklin Model d with only % horsepower is able to make
such high average speed. No other automobile except the six
cylinder Franklin equals it on American roads. You may
have 90 horse-power and your maximum speed may be seventy
miles an hour, but at the end of a days touring you have not
gone as far as your ~neighbor in his Model ID. Your speed is
held down to what the passengers can endure and TO what you
think your automobile will stand. H .
Speed then is a question of comfort-a question of the way
the automobile rides.
Model D is always comfortable and you dare drive it. 1t
will stand for speed when other automobiles will not. rt-
Look into this question. Weigh and ride in
Model D.. Then weigh and ride in other automobiles
over the same road at the same speed. You will
