Farrar expressed himself last evening
against going to the voters for this or
any special tax. He said the people

does not look possible The increased
cost of labor and everything that has
to do with the work in the different
departments is in part responsible for
the financial condition, but the pur
chase of the fire truck and the build
ing of the city barn, which we're not
provided for in the budget, are also in
part responsible for the condition. Some
one inquired why the cement street
was being put in but this does not
bear Oh the matter because the money
would not be available for any other
purpose, having been designated by
the voters for that special purpose
