General Fund Deficit
Cruteher found that the general
fund of the city had a deficit at
March 81, 1889 of 1856, 556,89,
which has no bearing on Ketehikan
Public Utilities and is apart from
the surplus that the latter has
earned.
Street improvements
Ketchikan has spent a large sum
of money in the past five years for
the improvement of streets and
similar projects. The audit mentions
that in the eight years prior to 1885
the average annual expense Tor
general street improvements was
approximately $4,000 per annum
whereas in each of the five years
from 1895 TO 1888, the expenses of
streets, floats and other permanent
improvements jumped to $4,000 per
annum. During that period of time,
the city spent $29.173 for the de-
Yelopment of the fair grounds,
buildings and railroad, $22.721 for
the addition to the White Cliff
school, S20,661 for floats, and $685.
$40 for general street improvements
making a total of $461,095 for all
OF this class of disbursements
Cruteher felt that the city could
not expect TO finance such improve
ments from current tax leYies and
supported his position by pointing
out that the increased rate of eX-
penditures for the streets and per-
manent Improvements in the five
year period of time had cost an ex-
cess of $4,000 over normal, which
seemed to account for the fact that
during those years the general fund
deficit had reached figure Of
$165,555.89 and showed that the
city was not able to pay the added
costs from current revenue.
The report indicated that there
was some measure of injustice to
the established districts Of the city
in developing streets and other i'm
provements in the newer portions
of the town from general tax leyies
It recommended that street assess
ments should be more widely used
and that other steps be taken to keep
the tax levy as low as possible. The
report pointed out that the general
levy here, includes say $4,000 per
annum, that would be collected in
the states directly from automobile
owners in the form of gasoline taxes.
1t was estimated that there are as
automobiles in or around Ketchi-

OUTLOOK CANNED SALMON
INDICATE FAVORABLE PRICE

A somewhat mixed picture OF the
Fall outlook for canned salmon
prices with most factors indicating
firm condition is shown by d te-
port just issued to the salmon in
dustry by J. Walter Thompson. The
industry's advertising agency.
The report is a supplement TO an
earlier release which pointed out
that wholesale prices of canned sal
mon are primarily determined by
five factors: the available supply Of
canned salmon, the general business
activity of the country, consumer
incomes, wholesale meat prices, and
wholesale prices of all foods. The
earlier report demonstrated a close
relationship of wholesale salmon
prices with these other factors over
a long period of years.
The current report tentatively sets
the possible supply of American
canned salmon for the coming year
at a top figure of eight million
cases of all varieties, pointing out
that this is a generous estimate, and
that the actual supply may be I'M
der this figure.
Business Outlook
The general business prospects for
the coming months is presented as
favorable, but not spectacular. The
report quotes from a large number
of business analysts. quotation
from a leading financial service
summarizes this viewpoint THE bus
mess outlook suggests further i'm
provement over the near future. At
the same time no sustained period
of vigorous business expansion ap-
pears at all likely and recurrence of
foreign disturbance to our markets
is not improbable"
Reports from government sources
indicate that consumer purchasing
power has been increasing during
recent months
Competitive Foods
Prices of competitive foods, which
have been at a low level, are not
expected to rise during the coming
months, except on a few commodi-
ties, according to the U. S. Bureau of
Agricultural Economics
Market supplies of hogs and poul-
try are expected to be larger dur
ing the coming months, but market
supplies of cattle and lambs are ex-
| pected to be smaller.
Gamers and distributors stocks
of canned goods other than salmon
are somewhat higher than a year
ago, but acreage this year on many
vegetables is reduced from last year
and the total supply of several can
ned vegetables this fall will prob
ably be less than year ago.
The pack of canned tuna in Cali
| fornia during the first five months
of 1899 totaled 100000 cases, an
increase of 81 percent over the same
| period of 1888. In the same period
! the mackerel pack in California
amounted to $4,000 cases. % per-
cent Isas than Last year.

To Do Something

The need for coordination of the
present recreational and social pro-
gram for young people on the Min
neapolis southside and the POSSIBLE
tiles for the development of new
activities was discussed at a meet
ing at the Minnesota-Iowa Club
Monday, April IT. AS basis for
the discussion Norman P. Light
and Curtis Chivers, group leaders,
reviewed the program they are di-
recting, pointing out the various
handicaps encountered.
1t was the consensus of opinion
of those present that one Of the
basic needs is that of a center
where supervised activities can be
conducted. 1t was also agreed,
however, that the development of
such a center will depend upon the
amount of interest and cooperation
that the parents and citizens of the
community are willing to give to-
ward such project. Definite plans
for meeting the youth needs of the
community will be formulated at
the next meeting to be held Tues
