NO DEFICIT FACED BY BISBEE'S
 COUNCIL
Provision Made in Budget F or $l5,000 Deficit Caused By Elimination of Income From Saloon Licenses.

Through the foresight of the city council of the city of Bisbee. no ad- ditional provision will have to be made to provide for the decrease in revenue to the city due to the elimi- nation of thirty saloon licenses Douglas Tucson. Phoenix and other incorporated cities and towns in Ari- zona are facing a considerable deficit on this account Bisbee, according to information received is the only town in which this contingency will not have to be met.
 Douglas faces a deficit of approyi- mately S15OOO This is caused by the failure of saloon licenses. Bis bee would have faced the same de- ficit had not the council wisely made provision for such a possibility when the budget was made There were thirty saloon licenses in the city oi Bisbee before the first Of the year. Ire license for each saloon was S125 quarterly, or $500 annually
 The city council. however in mak- ing up the budget for the eNpsndi lures of Bisbee durine the year 1915 raised the levy the ten percent pro vided for by law and in that way met what would have been a consid. erable deficit in the city's income
 Tonighrs meeting of the city coun cil will undoubtedly be one of the most interesting held by the present administration Though the matter of revenue has been ampy taken care of by the council in the budget a re- adjustment of some items of the ci tvs income will be necessary.
 Another matter that will come in for considerable attention is the mat ter of paving. The budget provided certain amount for paving This work included the paving of Naco Road Main street to the Masonic Temple, and Brewery Cullen to the Henderson-Watkins Lumber yard There win, probably, be an inclina ton on the part of the council to de. fer action on this proposition as il seems to be the general feeling that the funds now raised should be con served

According Co that officials estimate S2OOO will GOV CT the expense 10 the city of such repairs
 Considering the enomity of the work accomplished and the rapidity in which it was done, this figure is considered no less than remarkable lt will be re- membered that water flowed down Brewery Gulch for over a week. The stream carried large amount of debris and also many tons of gravel and rock which was deposited mainly along the paved section of the Gulch and in Review Alley
 The road, however. above the paved section, was literally cut to pieces In places the roadway was practically obliterated and a rocky bed of mountain stream took its place overnight. This bed, in many instances. was five and six feet in depth
 The figures quoted above alos include work done on walls along public thoroughfares in the city, repairs on Quality Hill including work on the steps from the Gas tie Rock stop to the brow of the hill and much other work in Tomb stone Canyon.
 The report of the street super intendent which will be submitt- ed to the city council tonight will contain a resume of the work done by the department during the storm and is considered a les son in administration and econo- my.
