.SWAYH TALKS
CITY FINANCES
Controller Speaker
at Active Clubs
Gathering

Frankly admitting the voter has
forced public officials to make
better use OF taxpayers money.
City Controller Tom swayze spoke
before Tacoma Active club at Ta-
coma hotel Thursday evening.
In reviewing the last 10 years Of
the city's financial history, swsyze
commented;
There has been a marked In
crease in overall public expendi-
ture. In the decade. However. this
Is not true OF the city alone.
Even though the city govern
ment now spends less than Il did
10 years ago. expenses have In
creased--for obvious reasons.
"Of course. we are not reluctant
to spend your money--it's easy.
The tax-limit law. with which
you are familiar and which you
enacted. holds us within bounds.
AS result. we've been forced TO
spend your money in better ways.
"You are getting more now
for your tax dollar than You
did 10 years ago.
We are getting you more for
that dollar. principally because we
have TO. Let there be no illusions
a. to that"
Swayze. who viii be a candidate
for reelection this year, high
lighted the following figures:
Total city budget estimate for
1880 was $500, 900: the figure for
1910 Ii 5000, 900.
In the same period the eity's
general income from taxes dropped
from 81. 661, 900 TO 1000. 900.
At the same time the city's
assessed valuation declined
from S68.O00. 900 TO $4,000
900, while maximum millage
fell off from 25.04 10 20.s2.
III inou TIC city acAooa iHsotho
was 81 500 900. while II N esti-
mated the same figure for this year
will be $1.879 900.
Swayze startled his audience
with the revelation that the $2s.-
900, 900 In bonds Tacoma has issued
since incorporation will have cost
the taxpayers $50. o0o, 900 when In
terest has been paid and they are
retired.
He Offered, ~ an example,

amount Of sI,00s, 900. When
