1.-THE large total Of our levy for the
ensuing year is brought about by vari-
Gus causes, the most important OF
which are the following:
by law the city of Wausau is limit
ed to tax rate Of not more than 35c
on the dollar of the assessed valuation
of all personal and real property in
the city as fixed by our assessor. 1t
is common knowledge that the cost of
living of the individual, and the cost of
operation OF corporations, municipal
as well as private, has increased, we
may truthfully say nearly doubled,
during the past five or six years. Dur
ing these last FIVE or six years our as
sessed valuation has increased in
amount but very small per cent. The
result has been that to meet necessa-
ry demands, IL was necessary to make
temporary loans which at present
amount TO S100,000.00. Under the law
the city can only issue its certificates
of Indebtedness to secure temporary
loans to carry the city through any
one taxing period, to an amount not
exceeding twenty per cent of the to-
tai amount levied during said taxing
period in its budget for said period
Under the conditions as they existed
during the past several years, and as
they still exist today, the city has been
obliged to borrow greatly in excess of
the statutory limitation, and in order
to alleviate this condition. our present
tax budget carries with il practically
enough 10 retire all of the citys So
called temporary loans.
Various improvements have been
made during the past several years
at considerable cost TO the city. Spec
ial attention is called to Grand ave-
nue. and the repair work on our streets
the retaining of worn our macadam
by filling with tar and gravel, which
we believe great saving TO the city.
These might have been postponed UNI
til some future time, but, because of
the public demand therefore, the same
had to be made at a cost considerably
higher than the same would have been
In normal times.

Finance Report
The report of the finance committee,
composed of Carl V. Ringle, Geo. w.
Borowitz and Paul c. Zielsdorf, was
read as follows:
ITO the Honorable Mayor and Com
mon Council of the City of Wausau:
"Your committee on finance at this
meeting presents its estimates of re-
reipts and disbursements for the en-
suing taxing period, and its recommen-
dation as to the various amounts to be
levied for the several departments of
the city. 1t is with profound regret
that your committee is compelled to re-
commend for your approval the levying
of the maount stated in the budget.
"YouT committee has endeavored by
various means to eliminate many of
the items which go toward the making
up of tax budget required for the
purposes of the city, with view of
cutting down the aggregate amount to
be levied this year. After careful con-
sideration of the matter, taking into
consideration the fact that 1t will be
more or less of a burden for the great
many to raise the amount of taxes
Ievie/ against their respective proper,
we found it impossible to levy lesser
amount than that stated in our rec
to the council. The dis
tribution of the total amount of this
years budget will be'as follows:
