Record Tax Rate

Continued from Page One

the highest proposals have been twice
turned down. As the streets must be kept
in some kind of condition, Director Dates
man will be finally forced to accept any
figure that the regular firms decide to
charge.
These were not the reasons dwclt upou
by Chairman Gaffney and other members
of Councils Finance Committee when they
met today 70 finally decide upon what rate
TO fX The fnanciers in every instance
offered war prices and needed salary in
creases causes for increase. Tho action
of the Sinking Fund Commission in refusing
to allow any free surplus it may have to
be used for current expenses also came in
for its share of blame.
The total increased payroll. based on
salary increases and new positions created
during 1917 as approved today, is Sl,lsO,-
$40.
Salaries for 1917 total sl6,267.952. and
for 1918. s17.44S.771. The maintenance
and supply items approved total S17194.-
231 without considering the needs Of the
City Treasurer, which are estimated at
S5.351,550. The cost of street cleaning and
similar work is calculated at s4,356.SsS.
If Councils attempt to provide for re-
payment of a temporary loan of ST, 200 900
for deficiency bills and for replenishment
of a mandamus fund as well as for the
support of soldiers dependents, a tax rate
of nearly double the 25-cent increase of

greater part, especially in the case of the
hundreds of thousands Of tons of coal used
annually by the city The increased cost
of supplies and the necessity for appro-
priating money for the care of soldiers
families at the front as we'll as the needed
increases in pay for the little fellows"
are the reasons dwelt upon by the worried
fnanciers. In a general way, the war is
blamed for all the extra financial burdens
that are being shifted onto the shoulders
of realty
In preventing any discussion of the tax
rate even in the finance committee itself,
until the last hour possible, the adminstra-
ton leaders hope to have effectually choked
off any real opposition to the boost. with
absolute control of both branches there is
not the slightest question that the rate
70 be reported this afternoon will be finally
fixed by both branches of Councils on FRI
day afternoon.
The law requires the tax rate to be fixed
on or before December l and the late re-
porting of the measure today leaves only
Thanksgiving Day itself for any opposition
TO develop.

right"
Linsky worked in the Pennsylvania Sugar
Refinery, Green street wharf. lie was dis
charged under the new rule, since he was
Prussian. He got first natura liza ton papers
in 1915 but he hasn't his second. Therefore,
he had to be discharged and he also must
move from his home at 500 Mexican street
But the house at 1888 South Second street.
into which he intends to move, is not yet
ready for occupancy. He was afraid he
might get arrested for living at 500 Mexican
street before the new house was ready and
wanted to know if he would have to wear
button showing he was an enemy alien
Noonan said not
Linsky's sUn-in-IaW, Christopher Nc
Gowan, is in the United States navy and
Linsly is supporting Mrs. McCowau, he
says. lie also states that his son, Martin
Linsby, Jr. is trying to get into the United

 The Woolscy mine, located in tho eos by George Munroc and Jack Swilling, and operated only to a linn ited extent owing to Indian troubles, is to be placed in action in a short time. was the statement made yester- day by Alex Lukin, who is in the city from the Turret Peak section of Black Canyon district
 The owners are Miguel Vasqucz and V. T. Hanlon, both of Tucson, the first named returning to that region after an absence of many years. He claims to have been on the ground when the mine was active, and ii IS due 10 his knowledge of what occur red in the long ago that Mir. Hanlon concluded to investigate. He was pleased with the showing made after the old workings were cleaned out The origin of the name was due to the locators being close friends Of King s.
