Despite budget increases for the
year, the District will end the fis-
cal year 1885 with a surplus of

by Major Daniel j. Donovan, Dis
trict auditor.
The budget, calling for expendi-
lures of $35, ,013.94, will leave
an estimated revenue surplus of
$2,960 900. To this is added the an
ticipated gasoline tax surplus of
$553. 900 and a water fund surplus
Of 100000. This is the estimated
water surplus after allowing for
q Is per cent cut in water rates
and an increase in the metered
allowance.
Had the Budget Bureau ap-
proved the estimates submitted by
the District Commissioners, the
revenue surplus would have been
only $500,OOO, Major Donovan
said. The estimates Of the Com
missioners totaled $39, Asa, ,858.15

If the entire pay cut should be
restored, instead of the 5 per cent
