Budget Was Called Back Last
Year and Raised for Fire
mems Increase Many New

The city of Memphis will get on the
$2.2O tax rate, assuming that the 1918
assessment will approximate what it
did last year. namely, s1S5, 900, 900. in
round figures, about $5i0, 900 more than
the total amount received in 1918. BY
these figures the general fund, gased
en- its proportion of the rate fixed for
this year, namely. Sl.5l, will get ap-
proXimately $3.50 0 more this year than
last year.
The total budget last year was 81
7e2, 407 and has been fixed this year at
&,l27,747 in round figures. This shows
an Increase in the budget of 1885, $40
according to A. D. Mason, commits
Sioner Of finance.
The increase in the tax rate and in
the budget has been occasioned, Mr..
Mason Jays, by the mandatory increases
OF l cent for Cossit library and II
cents for schools, as well as the legis-
latiNe enactment increasing the pay of
policemen and the institution of the
double platoon system at fire depart
lhent necessitating the employment OF
more men. After September, 1918, the
city commission was forced to call back
the budget and readjust 1t to meet the
conditions arising from the above men,
toned increases of the firemen. There
was a raise in salary and back pay
and the double platoon system to be
met and it was taken care Of by ad-
justing the budget.
Mr.. Mason said this caused a deficit
at the end of the year and conse-
| Quently had to be carried over by loans
TO this year. TIE records of the city
Clerk, however, show that the tax rate
was raised last year also. The raise
was 5 cents to take care of demands
spoken of. One cent went to schools
or the school boards urgent request
