THE CITY COUNCIL
HOLDS ITS REGULAR
MEETING FOR JUNE
Passes Appropriation Bill for
1925, 021.45, and Disposes of
Various Matters in the Line
of Routine Business

One Of the principal matters which
was considered Monday evening at the
regular monthly meeting OF the city
council was the appropriation bill for
the ensuing year and which was one
Of the items first disposed Of. At the
opening Of the meeting the report Of
the committee on finance, the members
OF which are Mayor Viles, Aldermen
Bodwell and Soule and Councilmen
Weston and Parmenter. was submitted
and given passage. The text of the
report was as follows:
ITO the Members Of the City Council:
The committee on appropriations
having considered the question of ex-
penditures for the year recommended
as per accompanying order.
''In making up the appropriations We
are forced to provide for additional ne
cessary expenditures for the year The
State and county tax for 1915 is $50
G15.s0 as against 81 ,9326S for 1914,
making necessary an increased expen-
diture Of s7092.92. The valuation for
1914 was ss.482, 1i6. and that returned
by the assessors for s9l5 is S.37s. 99s-a
loss Of s103148. We are also obliged to
make an increased appropriation for
street lighting. For 1912 the cost of
street lighting was s10.01s 33; for 1913
it was sl0.s56o1. For 1914 the cost in
creased to s14,14s.ss. and as this con-
tract made previous to this admins
tration, is yet in force the expense for
1915 will be about $4,000.
ut is evident that with these in
creased expenditures it is not possible
to reduce the tax rate, but owing to
business conditions We have not DEEM
ed 1t advisable to increase the rate"
The following order was then Civ
en- a passage:
June q. 1915.
Ordered, That there be raised by tax
alton for the current municipal year
the sum OF two hundred twenty five
thousand twenty-one dollars and for
ty-f7ve cents, H225, 021. 45), and that said
amount be and hereby is appropriated
