incidentally, the tax commissioner
attributes the huge shortage to ex-
travagancc in the various depart
ments. He called attention particu-
larry TO the fact that thousands of
dollars have been spent in the de-
partment of streets, where the great
est shortage exists, for permanent
street improvements, when as mat
ter of fact, funds for this work should
have been provided for by bond is
sues. Commissioner Pfeiffer has con-
sistently opposed the use of money
from the general fund for this pur-
pose. He also declared that the
mayor has spent money extravagantly,
pointing out that the mayor has en-
ployed a larger force in his office
than was employed by his predeces-
sor. The other departments also, be
asserted, did not practice the economy
which would have been advisable in
order that the city stay within its
budget.
Spent Beyond Incore.
The city's available income, the tax
commissioner said, figured on a 30
per cent collection basis Of the $780,
100000 assessed valuation, plus the
money which will DO collected for
fines. licenses and dues, etc, is S.
245, 900. The tentative budget adopted
by the city was S2,300,000. Since
the, compilation of the tentative bud
get, however, the city has increased
its expenditures until the final bud
get viii far exceed the available in
come.
A check of the budgets submitted.
and the amounts available in the var
ious departments, the tax commission
err said, showed that there will be
final excess expenditure in the street
department of 100000 at least, an
excess expenditure in the mayors con-
tingency fund of $4,000. in the de-
partment of parks and sanitation OF
$500 and nm original excess over
the total revenues by the combined
departments of $4,000. Thus. the
city faces total overtlraft of $780,
600. 1t is possible. however. COM
missioner Pfeiffer said, that there will
be available in the general interest
fund some $4,000 which would still
leave a shortage Of nearly S200.OO0.
IL this money is available. it will be
transferred to the general fund TO
partially relieve the shortage.
Must Stop Clubhouse.
In checking the budgets. the tax
commissioner said. he found that the
executive department at the city hall.
including the mayors office. city
clerks department. the auditors
office and purchasing agents depart
ment. may be able TO get by ON the
funds allotted for their use. The
