Preside Stokes stated thefe
was much dissatisfaction over the
way the tax map has been held up,
as the assessors did not get their
books until late in December, too
late for hearings the first OF the
year. Mr.. Wootton, who was pres
ent from the office of City Engineer
Risley, assured Council that the tax
map would be ready promptly next
fall, and the delay last fall was
due entirely to a misunderstanding
of the time required.
Asked if the engineers office
could give any information as to
progress on grades, Mr.. Wootton
stated that grades had practically
all been established some time ago,
but street lines have not been es-
tablished. An effort will be made
to disturb as few properties as
possible. Mr.. Wootton stated that
what a man may think is his prop
erty line may be several feet from
the actual line. After some discus
sion, motion was passed appoint
ing Friday evening, February IL,
for an informal meeting of Council
when the engineer will be present
10
action will be decided upon.
School Budget.
The Board of School Estimates,
which met previous to Council, ap-
proved of $31, 100, as presented by
the school board, and this action
was ratified by Council.
Appointments.
A communication was read from
Mayor Eugene dwilkey, appointing
Frederick Hartman to the school
board for a term of five years. May
or Swilkey also reported the resig-
nation of Alfred Harper as chief
of police, and the appointment OF
officer Wilson as his successor,
with Everett Lever as a second po-
liceman.
Following the passage OF the gar
bage ordinance, Herman Banning
was employed as garbage collector.
Garbage will be collected Tuesdays
and Fridays of each week, and
trash will be collected Saturdays.
what can city do with goat
farm" was one of the questions
asked. Councilman Victor Keller
stated the question had been put up
to him, as someone is operating a
goat farm within city limits. Sew
eral humorous suggestions were re-
iected, and the matter finally left
in the hands of Police Chief Will
son.

Mortified
Budget Calls
For 1888
Slight Increase in Budget
Overcome by Increase of
$250,000 in Ratables
COUNCIL RATIFIES
SCHOOL NEEDS $31,19O
Frederick Hartman Appointed
to School Board for 5 Years
Tax Map Ready in Fall
Wilson Chief of Police.

Several matters OF Importance
were discussed and acted upon by
the Common Council of Mortified
City, in session last evening, inclu-
ding the presentation of the annual
budget for first reading, the school
budget as approved by the Board of
School Estimates, final passage of
three ordinances, including the Or
dinance for collection of garbage,
ashes and rubbish, and discussion
of the tax maps.
Budget.
The budget, as presented after
careful. study and revision by mem
bers of Council calls for the
sum of s75,383, as compared with
S72,955 in 1926 This is an increase
of s2,428 over last year Balanced
against this is an anticipated in
crease of $250,000 in valuation in
the city. The increase in valuation
does not mean an increase charged
against improvements. but is due
entirely to developments and bull
ding sites. As previously predicted
in The Pleasantville Press, despite
the increase in the budget made
necessary to keep pace with the
city's growth, there is prospect OF
gratifying tax rate in Mortified
City in 1927. Attention Of the
Pleasantyille Press reporter was
called to the fact that Mortified
City is strictly residential and does
not derive revenue from mercantile
licenses and similar sources that
some other nearby cities do.
