CITY COUNCIL
HOLDS SESSION

The continuous fight made by the
city council for economy in the admin
istration of the city's business resulted
1n an old precedent being broken for
the first time in the history of the city,
when a balance of nearly $4,000 was
left in the city treasury at the end of
the year which closed Sunday night,
June 30. Every year previous to this
the council has exceeded the amount
levied for the current expenses of the
city, but this year there is different
story.
The fact that there was a balance
in the treasury was brought to light
last night, when the council met to
make the annual estimate of the ex-
penses for the coming year. At this
meeting it was decided to continue the
plan of economy as far as possible. On
account of the fact that new fire equip
ment has to be purchased for the IRE
department and the bridge across Bull
creek replaced it was necessary to ask
for the full amount of taxes allowed
under the law as last year The fol-
lowing is the gross estimate of the ex-
penses of the city for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1913:
