to make up the S17 900 deficit the city

pare an ordinance providing for a tax
on all teams operating in the city and
increases in mercantile licenses.

license fees and in the water rent rate
are other methods planned for additional
| revenue.

pre- election pledge to oust the com
mission because Of its attitude toward
the Public Service Railway Co.
