Exclamation of Expenditures.

The increase OF s32S9 in the expen
dlture for salaries of officers is due to
the chang in the form of city govern
ment.
There is a decrease of s4.32o in the
general fund, in favor of the commits
sions first year. The old administra
ton. during its last year. spent out Of
this fund attorney fees, S2.122.66' and
federal court costs, s1.311.96, which
} account for most of the difference.
The commission saved $500 in the
police department by reducing the
force.
Out of the water works fund the old
administration paid S1S.992.51 for the
dam and retaining walls. The commits
sion put in 1858 feet Of water main
extensions during its year at cost of
s39S0.66. The old administration made
practically no water main extensions
during the year.
The increase in the expenditures in
the sewer fund is due wholly to eX
tensions the commission has made. 1t
I,ut in during the year 3.41S feet of new
sewer. which accounts for the s2,450 in
crea Sc. Very few sewer extensions were
made by the old administration.
a good share of the increase in the
electric light fund is due to the cleo
troliers. The commission has had them
for full year, the old administration
had them for about six months.
The OLD administration took up $4,000
Of bonds the last year it was in power.
which makes its expenditure so much
larger than what the commission spent
from the same fund during last year.
