Heroic treatment of the estimates will be necessary in order to keep the tax rate at 16 3-4 mills is the belief of the board of finance and t ation. The board met st night with the axe ground to a razor edge and slashed right and left. When y quit work at 11:20 o'clock $86,56: had been shorn from the cstimates but it will be necessary to reduce them by 000 more before the tax rate is kept down. A county t of 12,000, which was not anticipated by the commissioners other than City Treasurer Chamberlain, was appro- priated. 4 The board of public safety w giv- two policemen instead of six and increases in the fire department allowed. Big slices were taken rything with the exception of department. An addition- al reduction of $9,000 in the street department was made. The park commission’s estimates were slashed as it was the consensus of opinion that this is not the proper time to spend money developing Stanley Quarter park, the official name adopted for the newly purchased tract of land in the north end of the The charity department estimates were reduced slightly, one item elim- inated being $1,000 for a pigsty. A warm argument developed pver the estimate of $2,000 for tuberculosis work under the direction of the health department but the appropria- tion was final arried. Treasurer Chamberlain said estimates totaled about $1,016,000 and the income outside taxes at $153,000, leaving a balance of $863,000. taxes will bring in about $717,8 en no were off ev the water 4, not including mnext month’s receipts, !

New barn and pigsty come high but must be had and it is estimated that they will cost $6,000. Of that $1,000 is for the sty,* cholera having sent all the pigs to the great beyond last year. On account of the cholera, Dr. George T. Crowley says a new sty must be built in a different place, the present sty and location being in- fected. Mr, Pelton saijd the Dbarn could be eliminated but such a move would not improve conditions as a number. of calves have been lost be- cause of poor housing. Mr. Pelton thought this spring a good time to build a barn because the contractors | are not rushed. The big increase of the year will be outside poor, $15,000, a figure in excess of last vear’'s appropriation by $7,000. The work of the department in this respect has doubled, Mr. Pelton said, and last year's appro- priation was exceeded by $4,000. Mr. Pelton began arguing about the times and the threatened furore with Mexico. “And you're a democrat,” remarked | Treasurer Chamberlain while the oth- ers roared with laughter.

Chairman Chase and Comm oners [igan and Rossberg pleaded the case for the water department, which asked for $135,000, in comparison to $129,950 for the present year. Mr. Egan presented the following typewritten statement to each mem- ber of the board of finance and tax | tiom: ) “The estimated expense account as presented and granted by your board for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1915, was $129,950.00. Of this amount $123,210.02 was spent to March 1, which included interest and sinking fund account in full. The estimated ezpense for:March is $2,300, leaving approximate balance of $4,440.02 of amount asked and received for the vear, “During 1914- $5,201.75 was transferred to land purchase account (on advice of corporation counscl). A portion of said amount was for a spt cial purpose in connection with new supply and $13,201.75 was spent for land and buildings follow; Shuttle Meadow and vicinity $597.7; Whig- ville water shed, $6,850.00; new sup- ply, (land and water rights). $5:754.00. | Some of those purchases were abso- lutely necessary for removal of nui iances and others on account of favo able opportunity, whick would have to be acquired in the near future. All those purchases were approved by his honor, the mayor. Accounts Overdrawn. an 261.50. “Shuttle Meadow account was over- drawn $971.26, partly on account of work necessary to be done in connec- tion with the location of the munici- pal ice house and unexpected condi- tions arising in the repair of bridges on both canals. “General repair account was . ex- ceeded by $212.96. As the city’s dis tribution system is extended minor re- pairs are expected to increase. “Burlington account was overdrawn $41.3 “The abave amounts, $6,427.27, were i transferred from construction account. “The receipts will about equal the amount estimated, $129,950, and will be a safe estimate in future years (al- {lowance being made for expected in- crease in services) as the, first year’s | test under the meter system was | uncertain and showed an abnormal | increase in revenue, which must change and did the following f ures show. “Consumption from 11913, to December, 1914, was: fac_ ! tories, 82,829,700 cubic feet; business and domest use, 80, 900 cubic | feet; total 163,419,600 cubic feet; i duced to gallor 5,647,000 gallons: | divided by 365 days, shows a daily { consumption of 7,000 gallons; timated population 000, per capita | consumption, about sixty-five gallons. daily. “The consumption for factories, 16,564,400 cubic fthan 1913 and domestic use 3,913,600 cubic feet less, the former partly from short hours, the latter from adjust- ment of consumption and repair of leaks. * “We respectfully ask the following amount for each branch of the de- partment’s -needs the coming fiscal year: Construction Relay account . csee General repair account Meter account 5 Salary account Burlington account Woleott account Interest account Sinking fund account Shuttle Meadow account Land purchase account .

Egan and Rossberg. Treasurer Chamberlain suggested that Mr. Egan write a poem about the estimates. “I judge you are not going to do anything about Burlington,” said Judge Gaffney. “If we do we will come to later,” replied’ Chairman Chase. The commissioners now have & ing fund of $1 000 and want $20,000 next year. At this rate each year the bonds will be paid off as they fall due. yon sink- Park Board Has Big Plans.
