city heads sought, Is in reality S36,27
more than all appropriations granted
by the last session OF Congress for the
current fiscal year. These current sp
propriations aggregate $36,013.723.
Comparison Of the figures now under
consideration with those OF year a go
shows: Last Summer the Commits
sioners sent TO Gen. Lord a tentative
budget OF $36, $50. 1863. while this Sum
mer they asked for more than SS9 ,00o.-

ordered the $3e,56s.Ss9 figure cut to
$40, 500 900, which was reduction OF
81. .e00. 900: this year the Budget Ru-
reau cut the 39,47s, Ss6 recommends
ton to 1886. $50 900, a reduction of
slightly more than $5 900, 900.
Mai Donovan explained today that
the Limitation OF SIS, ,250.0 just fixed
by the budget bureau includes trust
and special fund appropriations of ST.
600 900, whith are not in the nature
of municipgl Improvements. 1t like
wise inclyies the expenses OF the
Water De partment amounting to 81
poo, 900. which are met out of water
rents, and. therefore. does not effect
the tax rate.
There are two other large items
figuring in the s36, $50. ZOO budget
which would not increase the tax rate.
One is street improvements 10 be met
out OF the gasoline tax of $1,000. 900
for next year. While this would tend
to keep dewn the tax rate, il would
come out of the pockets OF local tax
pa ers. The other large item is the
unexpended balance of s2,S26,02S in
the city's old surplus fund. which is
to be appropriated for school buildings
and Fairgrounds sites.
While this also will not affect the
present tax rate, il is money that
came from District taxpayers a few
years ago. and is. therefore, part of
the Districts contribution toward the
next budget.
1t is understood that a budget OF
$39, ,479,S66, as recommended by the
Commissioners. would have called for
a tax rate next year slightly above
the present rate of y1.70 per $100 OF
assessed value.
Among the large projects I'm the

somewhat are: Another installment OF
