MAYOR MILLS MONEY BILLS.

Expenditure to the Next AdmInist ration.

Leaves Some $4,000. 900 of Proposed
Expenditure to the Next AdmInist ration.
Mayor Mcclellan vetoed yesterday APP
propriations approved by the Aldermen
calling for the expenditure of more than
ss,oO0.OoO His purpose was to leave
it to the incoming administration TO de-
termine whether the improvements were
needed.
One OF the measures vetoed provided
for an outlay of %, SOC. .0l0 for new school
buildings and another allowed q, ,2s7 ,0OC
for the new tuberculosis departments
and other additions TO the city hospitals.
The Mayor said:
my reason for disapproving Of these
ordinances is the short time in which
the present administration will be in
charge OF the city government. i have
exercised the Mayors right OF veto not
because I disapprove Of them on the
merits but because I consider that the
expenditure Of this large amount Of money
should be passed upon by the officers
who will be in charge OF the city after
January I, b9l0."
He said that while he had voted in the
Board OF Estimate for the appropriations
he had said then that he would reserve
his right to pass upon them as Mayor.
and that he has now vetoed them @be-
cause OF tho criticisms on the expendi-
tures which were being made by the
incoming administration. The new ad-
ministration can now pass upon the inn
provetnents for which the money In
needed. L. will take only a week or two.
The Mayor vetoed a resolution permit

We have been telling you and others throughout the

will produce, how they will make the owners independent
in a short time and how easily they may be obtained on
the terms that we are making.
Many of those who have read what we have to say have
come to see the land. OF those who came, nearly every
one purchased one or more tracts. Others have pur-
chased without seeing the land and now possess property
that is increasing in value every day.
But what have you done about it?
Do you know what an orchard in Arcadia will produce?
Do you know what the years crop will sell for? Do you
know what the profits for a years work will be, and how
much better off you would be if you were the owner of
one of these orchards instead of in your present position?
