Expense Of the City !.
Government During 1919
Nearly 100000

The expense OF the city govern
r,ent during 1919 was nearly $780,
600, being made up of the budget Of
$l,800000, which was apportioned at
the first Of the year, and also an
overlap of $4,000 on the police and
fire funds, caused by increases Of
salary.
A levy Of IS mills which was fixed
for 1920 will yield approximately
$i,o50.00O, to which will be added an
estimated amount of $350,000 which
will be received in miscellaneous
collections. making at total of ST.
100000 which the city council will
distribute during TIE next few days.
From this total must be deducted
at the outset the Police and fire
deficit Of $l50000 from last year.
The following are the estimates
which the heads of the seven city
departments want for 1920: Public
affairs, Sl32,800. accounts and
finance, Sl56,455; police, sanitation
and public safety, S550,000. Fire pro-
lection and water supply. $500, 624;
street cleaning and maintenance,
Sl86,s00; parks and boulevards,
Sl74,500; public improvements, $685.
Eos, Those estimates make a total
Of $2,25o,l44, which must necessarily
be cut at least 100000 to meet the
limitations OF the available funds for
this year.
The expense of the municipal gar
age last year was $4,000, this
amount being distributed among the
departments, according to the NUM-
Der of automobiles repaired.

Lack Of Adequate Funds
DELAYS Park Improvement

Thomas Falconer, city commits
sioner in charge Of the. park and
boulevard department. in sum-
mary OF the years. work, states that
his department was handicapped on
account of adequate funds and that
many washouts along the boule-
wards during the heavy rains last
spring, incurred an unusual expcn-
diture.
The appropriation for general
park purposes last year was $4,000,
and $4,000 was received from the
wheel tax fund for maintenance Of
boulevards. The department also
received $4,000 from the road
fund.
The important improvements of
the, year were: Strengthening DAN
. gerous turns of boulevards, Elm
wood park was given a new outlet
to the west by opening road con
Meeting the main driveway with
Sixty-hfth street Twelve hundre i
trees were planted along the .boule-
wards. A shelter house and picnic
oven were installed at Riverview
park. A bath house was erected in
Jefferson square, at cost of $l4.-

Among the improvements planned
for this year will be the curbing and

Merits Careful Consideration

In connection with the announcement of this
annual sale your attention is directed to the fol-
lowing facts concerning the linen industry as
it is today: <s .~.-a.
Irish and Scotch manufacturers are paying
fabulous prices for the available, meager supply
of flax. On account of the chaotic conditions
in the flax growing countries, the supply has
diminished almost to the vanishing point
The high flax prices, together with the greatly
increased expenses of mill operations, have
combined to make linen prices almost prohibi-
tive.
