APPROXIM7xr1.aai5 REVENUE.
It has been estimated by the Board of
Revision of Taxes that the income from
taxable realty in 1915 will be approx
mately s1s.6o2,Os Os4 for city and county ex-
penses based on the 81 tax rate. The
5O-cent tax rate OF the Board of Educa-
tlon will produce half the above amount
for the school system.
From water rents, returns from gas
sales under the terms of the lease. and
other sources, the city will receive in
1915 about s16,000.OO0.
Controller Walton has expressed the
opinion that the $4,000 loan for a con-
vention hall and the 1854 loan for a
free library be transferred to the sinking
fund, and thus increase the borrowing
capacity OF the city by the aggregate
amount. At present the loans are lying
idle costing thousands of dollars a year
for interest and sinking fund charges.
The Controller may suggest to Councils
on Thursday the wisdom of effectlng the
transfer.
The loan for the convention hall has
been idle since 1911, costing In that time
$4,000 in interest and $4,000 In sinking
fund charges. The revenue on the loan
from the banks at 2 per cent. mas
amounted to $4,000.

today an officer said he ordered full speed
ahead, but the cruiser gave chase and
was gaining rapidly when the Glory ap-
peared and put the German to flight.
Efforts were made to keep the incident
a secret, but before the passengers left
the Dominion today the story leaked out.
The captain would not discuss the Ger
man cruiser incident saying bad weather
on the trip across kept the passengers
considerably worried, and he considered
this enough.

present struggle with Germany, Austria
and Turkey, according to Abdul Avid a
wealthy merchant of Calcutta, who ar
rived on the Dominion.
India was quite enthusiastic about the
war in Europe when 1 left home a month
and half ago." said the Indian mer-

limit IL 1t is necessary to defeat her
opponents" Mr. Abdul came to this
country on a business trip.

voyage. She left Liverpool October 81.
Among the Philadelphians on tho
Dominion were Mrs. Armitage, Misses
Annie and Gladys Armtage, Mr.. and Mrs.
