year which ended April l, 1915, COM
pared with the year previous, accord
ing to the report which is being pre-
pared by George Gallarno, chief clerk
of the municipal accounting depart

For the year previous the receipts
were s15,267,000 and the expenditures

The main feature of the report is
the fact that municipal expenses
have increased little more than 13
per cent in the last fiscal year.
Heavy investments in improvements
account for much of this increase, it
is said. During the last twelve
months several hundred of the small
