TO SPEND MILLION DOLLARS
AT ST. LOUIS FOR BIG zoo

st. Louis, No. June 2.-More than
81 000,0 will be raised in taxes in the
next ten years for the development Of
the st. Louis geological park. This
money will be supplied by special tax
of 2 cents on the 500 valuation voted
last fall. The first years income avail
able for the zoo from this source will
be about $125000 and it is calculated
that it will grow by annual increments
of $4,000 The board of control in
charge Of the 700 believes that the col.
lection of birds and beasts owned by
the city will become one of the largest
and most representative in North Am
erica.
The animals now in the park have a
value of at least $4,000 At the prices
that prevail on account Of the war they
probably could not be replaced for twice
that sum.
Anticipating the revenues from the
special tax, $4,000 was loaned TO the
board Of control this year for new build
ings, tanks and repairs and for the
purchase Of additional birds and ami
mails.
The program for buildings contem-
plates structures comparable with those
in Bronx park, New York. These build
ings will be erected from year TO year
so as not TO exhaust the income in any
given 12 months. The operating eX-
penses Of the ZOO thus far have been
about 100000 a year. The cost here
after viii be betrayed from the sale Of
progeny OF birds and animals.
