IF PEOPLE AUTHORIZE THE NEW FIRE
HOUSE THEY MUST KILL ALI OTHER
PROPOSITIONS, SAYS CITY ATTORNEY
Statute Says ST 1862 is All That Gan be Raised Above Last
Years Revenue; Does Not Affect Chamber Of Commerce,
Fair Grounds or Commissioners Salary Propositions
Unless Expensive Fire House is Also Authorized

IF THE voters, on November, 4, au-
thoriZe the construction of a new
fire house at an expense of OPP
proximately $1,000 they must not
vote for the purchase of the fair
grounds. the increase in commission
ors salaries or the chamber of COM
merce levy. If they do all the propo-
sitions will he Illegal.
This is the gist of an opinion rem
dered to the city council this morn
ing by City Attorney Henry Tupper.
To back up his contention Mr.. Tup-
per cites the revenue law passed by
the last legislature which directs that
the income from taxes this year shall
not be more than l & per cent greater
than the amount raised last year.
The tax revenue for city purposes
last year was S49.0S1. Fifteen per
cent of that is s7,362.15 which is
the limit of additional expense that
can be contracted If the general bud
get this year Is the same as that for
the year just past.
The chamber of commerce PROPOSE
tion will cost $2,500. the fair grounds
for interest 81 500 and maintenance
POO and the increase in commits
sioners $500. This total Sc. 400 which
is we'll within the prescribed limit.
The new fire house ordinance, how
ever, authorizes the levying of q full
mill which amounts to about 81 300
on the assessed valuation as an
nouneed last night by Assessor Brown
This sum can also be raised providing
that none of the other propositions
carry II any of thcm are catfied IN,
addition to the fire house proposition
the commissioners will face a viola
tion of the state law.
City Attorney Tupper says that the
home rule amendment does not give
the city independence OF the state
law in this respect for the reason
that the statute applies when not
conflicting with the ordinance of
charter cities. Grand Junction has
no ordinance or charter provision
which conflicts with the provision of
the revenue law referred to.
1t seems certain, according to the
commissioners. that the fire house
scheme must be voted down or else
all the other propositions must be
voted down.
Discussing the budget. Commits
sioner Vorbeck said this morning:
"All of the commissioners are agreed
that there ought not to be any in
crease in expense unless the people
themselves vote for it. Last year
we got along on s49,0S1. We will
have the additional cost of $4,000
worth of paving machinery-tandem
roller. crushing plant, melting pots,
etc.-from the paving districts; 500
for the erection of storage ware
house; fully $1,000 extra in sewer
maintenance and repair, and about
$1,000 more in paving expenses. The
