Is Recommended For 1911
BY Finance Committee
ESTIMATES ARE MADE UP
Committee Believes That All Necessary
Appropriations Can Be Met on Rate
of s2.25-Bond Debt Increase
Met by Gain in Assets.

The finance committee IN It's annual
report read at the meeting Of the board
/ of aldermen, held last evening. recon-
mended that a tax rate OF 1928 be levied
for 1911, which is FIVE cents lower than
the previous year. A S2.25 rate was rec
commended last year for 1910, but on
account Of the uncertainty at that time
as 10 the cost OF the changing Of the
river bed il was though best not to
lower the rate but this year the COM
mittee feels that it can safely done.
In referring TO the work done and ul-
dertaken during the year, the committee
states that the change of the river bed
IL the most important improvement,
with the exception Of the Orange brook
reservoir, and that the public benefits
TO be secured by the change will more
than repay the amount OF money which
the city will have to expend. The work
was started on an estimated cost of
$4,000, but the committee states that
it will be completed well within the
sum OF 100000
The Orange brook reservoir was com.
pleted this summer at a total cost Of
s46,570, all OF which has been paid ex-
cepting the final payment Of sl,553l4,

ment from all litigation for the first time

completed this year at net cost OF
$4,000 this amount being $4,000 more
than the amount OF bonds issued, but it
has been provided for from the general
school funds.
The city indebtedness has increased
S2l ,3s3.33 during the year, as compared
with 1900, but to offset this there has
been a gain in the assets of l2.l65.0S
and in real estate and personal property
of sl9,69A0S, making a net gain Of Sl0,-

work of the wear will meet with the
general approval Of the citizens
In the estimated expenditures for 1911.
the committee has made provision for
expending Ss.000 on permanent streets,
an increase of 81 500 over last wears

for the fire department $500 for the pur
pose OF enabling them TO renw their sup

WHY BALDWIN DID
 NOT SUE TEDDY
Governor Came to- Opinion it Would Comport Better With
 Dignity of His Office

When interviewed regarding the let ter of Col. Roosevelt which was pub nshed yesterday in the Outlook and which will be found on another page of The Farmer today. Governor Sim con E.. Baldwin was very reticent and did not care to say much about his attitude
 The matters at issue between the ex-President and Governor Baldwin are set forth at much length in the letter which is dated December 15. In this letter Colonel Roosevelt de- clines to retract or modify the criti- cisms of Governor Baldwin's judicial action in the Hoxie case and main tains his right to make such criti- cism.
 Governor Baldwin said that his views had been fully expressed in his corre- spondence with ex-President Roose- welt and that he did not care to dis cuss them otherwise.
 He had not found time to give any considera tion to the last letter writ ten by the latter until early in the present month. on the eve of his in- auguration as Governor. and then came to the opinion that it would comport better with the proprieties in- cident to that position if he did not bring a suit which experience had shown him would be likely to be made the subject of wide newspaper notor- iety. not to say sensationalism.
