ORDINANCES HAVE
BEEN DRAFTED.
Drafting Of the appropriation and civil
city tax levy ordinances was completed
by the city legal department today
The total amount appropriated by the
annual ordinance will be S39s7 762 -,
which is 5000 less than the figure an
nounced by city Controller Robert II.
Bryson few days ago. The ordinance
appropriates only money for the funds
supplied by the city general fund levy.
which comprise the moneys for the opera
tion Of the finance, public purchase, legal,
safety and public works departments.
The appropriation ordinance calls for
S707 922.92 less than last year, Mr.. Bry-
son said. This Is due 70 the fact that
$500 900 appropriated to retire temporary
loans aad $50 900 for the city elections
appropriated for 1921 is not needed In
1922 Leaving ont these sums Mr.. Bryson
said the actual difference in the funds
for operating the five departments in 1921
and 1922 will be that about 5000 less
than is provided for 1922 He said that
this should be proof that the present adj
ministration is not trying to handicap the
set of new officials who viii take office
next January.
The total civil city levy for 1902 fixed
by the levy ordjnance Will be 90 cents
as announced Friday. This is 119 cents
less than the S1061 levy for 1921
