ALL MUNICIPAL LEVIES BY 1884
Public Ownership of Utilities Makes Possible Tax Slash to
712 Mills for 1933-Only S25O,ooo Debts Remain.

per 100 cubic feet on a sliding scale
and TO- electricity residents pay cents
per kilowatt hour
Application of private business meth
ods to the municipal utilities is held by
Carol Hoyt, finance commissioner. as
the explanation of the satisfactory
profits at rates considered reasonable
by the consumers.
OF 81 second class cities in Kansas
ranging from 708 to 1884 in popula-
tion, only five had lower city levies in
1881 than the one to affect lola next
year. Two of them are Chanute and
Colby. Winfield, Harper and Mime
apolis are the other three and Harper
and Minneapolis are much smaller than
lola.
lola has owned its utilities more than
80 years. The 1888 levy is not designed
to meet any one item in the budget en-
tirely. Profits Of the plants will make
up the deficits. The city levy of 1913
mills in 1881 raised $l06,000. This year
the 1879 mills levy raised $4,000. The
1888 levy is expected to raise S31 900
whereas the city contempiates expend-
ing 100000.

lola, Kans., July 14.-1ola citizens
look forward with confidence to a mu-
nicipally tax-free city in 1884.
If that goal is reached, lola will join
Chanute and Colby, Kans., in function
ing without the necessity of city taxes.
Iola's recently determined ~ mill
tax levy for 1888, the lowest in 73 years,
will yield less than one-third OF the
total money necessary for expenditures.
The remainder will be taken from sur
plus created by earnings of municipality
owned gas, water and electric utilities.
City officials estimate that by 1884
the profits CT these utilities will amortlze
Iola's remaining Indebtedness OF $780,
900, making city tax levy unnecessary
in that year.
Mayor Harmon Hobart points out that
this has been accomplished with water
and electricity rates remaining at the
1880 level and with gas rates being low
cred from rs to IS cents for the first
1000 cubic feet.
The water rate is from q to rs cents

to assist in the celebration of Argentine
independence day, July 9. the Uru-
guayan government announced yester-
day it had severed diplomatic relations

Last night Uruguay recalled its AM
bassador at Buenos Aires and invited
the Argentine Ambassador to leave
Montevideo While Uruguayans cheered
loudly the governments defense of the
national integrity" at Montevideo, Ar
gentinians here devoured the extra edi-
tions of the newspapers incredulously.
Confidence was expressed here that
the breach would be healed soon, but in
the meantime it was said. the problem
of preserving order in Argentina will be
more difficult because the break means
an end to the cooperation of Uruguay
in keeping suspected agitators out Of
this country.
