WOULD PAY PART OF
IMPROVEMENT NOW.
The policy OF .ssuing securities
20 finance permanent improvements.
thereby spreading the cost OF such
permanent Improvements over a pc
Rod OF years. is fundamentally
sound and generally accepted. and
your committee recommends the
adoption OF this policy for the city
II South Bend, particularly at this
time when we are approaching a
necessity for expenditures OF this
character greatly in excess OF those
previously made. To the general
principle OF raising by tax levy
moneys required for current oper-
ating expenses and fixed expenses OF
the city. and raising by bond issues
moneys required for betterments
and permanent improvements, your
committee, in recommending a fiscal
policy for South Bend. makes, how
ever. in the interest OF economy and
as a check against hasty and ill
considered action. this modification:
that there be raised by taxation not
only operating and fixed expenses Of
this city. but in addition thereto 10
percent OF the amount annually ap-
propriated for permanent improve
ments: that the remaining So per-
cent of the cost Of such improve
ments be financed by the issue OF
bonds
IF. out of this investigation. a
permanent fiscal policy is evolved.
either in the form recommended by
your committee. or in some form
which consideration dictates is bet
ter applicable 10 our circumstances.
we shall. thereby, receive a consid-
cradle benefit in compensation for
the undoubted harm which has
come from the initial stages of this
controversy.
Applying the above enunciated
fiscal policy 10 the budget for 1920
as 1t now exists, we would recon-
mend that the item OF S16O,134
therein included for betterments be
reduced to 10 percent thereof. and
that the balance be financed by the
issue of bonds IT, and when. re-
quired. A reduction in this manner
of the total budget OF SS0S,749. by
s136,OO0 will justify a considerable
reduction in the tax levies proposed
We believe that this reduction
should be made, and furthermore
that the margin between the budget
of S8OS,749 and the estimated re-
turn from the proposed levy of
S923,277. which margin amounts to
.SI15.00O be reduced, in order that
the citys portion OF the whole tax
levy may be kept down to a point
of non-interference with necessary
taxation for schools, and for other
vital needs

TO LAY IL MILES
OF PAVEMENT.

During 1919 Il Is anticipated that

be laid. The cost OF this pavement
IS assessed to abutting property and
VIII be wholly paid for by the own
crs Of such property, except that
where streets fntersect there is an
area, comparatively small, which
Goes not abut on private land. the
cost OF which is fairly borne by the
city a whole. The necessity for
these street improvements, and their
importance as affecting the coming
expansion OF South Bend, is appar-
ent and indicates, we believe, the
wisdom OF our common council in
increasing the 1919 original budget

present year Your committee feels
compelled TO state that in its esti-
nation the amount OF but $4,000
for 1920 viii prove to be wholly in
adequate and that either such esti-
mate must later be increased by new
appropriation or else serious injury
10 the future Of this city will result.
In summing up the results OF its
Investigations. your committee.
therefore, reports that in its opinion
the administration OF the city Of

QUESTION SUFFICIENCY
OF TAXATION LIMIT.


In the amended laws Of Indiana.
under which the assessed valuation
of properties has recently been adj
Justed. the whole tax levy for all
purposes is restricted to $3.50 per
hundred dollars Of assessed valua-
ton. (Proportionate to the increase
in assessed valuation, this limit
varies but little from the one here
tofore existing. Well informed
persons seriously question the suf-
hciency Of this legal maximum tax
levy. for from it must be obtained
funds not only for the operation of
municipalities, but likewise for the
operation OF schools, of county.
state. and other Forms OF govern
ment, and Of public enterprises Of all
character. These laws, however. ex-
list as written. and our specific prob
lem at this time. and in this parti-
cular investigation, is TO recommend
means whereby provision may be
made for the proper carrying on Of
our municipal affairs. without inter
ference with the requirements -
schools, and for other public er :
prises.
Because cities are compelled TO
make, from year to year, according
TO conditions existing. public i'm
provements requiring large O -.tlays.
and ? ecause such public improve
ments are of permanent nature and
are beneficial over a period OF years,
10 future residents, as well as to
present citizens, and because Il is
wholly proper and right that the
cost of these permanent improve
ments should be spread over at
least a large portion OF the period
OF their effectiveness, the laws of
Indiana have given municipalities
the right TO issue bonds and securi-
ties for such purposes. up to a
maximum OF percent of the assess
ed valuation of such municipalities.
This maximum, as applying to South
Bend. would today be approximately
two and one-half million dollars;
whereas our present Indebtedness is
approximately $652,O0O. We are
reliably informed that South Bend
is in proportion TO its size and pro-

the ilJmensity Of the productive
powers Of Russia. A recent state4
ment issued by David r. Francis,

sheds some interesting light on
this subject. The population of
Russia is Approximately 100000
900 while the United States has
probably 120,000,0O0.
Without discussing the vast
forests and deposits of coal, cop
per, lead and precious ores, Mr.
Frances gives the following agri-
cultural statistics:
Russia during the five years
ending with 1915 produced an
average of 784,329,200 bushels of
wheat as compared with our 802,-
053, 800 bushels during the same
period. The year before the war
began, 1913, Russia produced |
300, 100000 bushels of wheat as
compared with our 763.SOO 900
bushels. During those five years
the average production of oats in
Russia was 1,045,095, 900 bushels

her population of lS0,000,000 peo-

the capacity Of Russia for grow
