year on aceount Of the saloon license
deficit, the council managed by careful
financing in keeping the tax levy at its
low mark of last year. the entire city
levy being $40 for the fiscal year.
The city authorities thought some
time ago that il would be necessary 10
boost the levy considerably his year
to counter-balanee the funds usually
received from saloon licenses, which
went into the general fund. but a prac-

to in order not TO further burden ar
already tax ridden public.
The appropriation ordinance was
passed upon third reading without a
