This rule should be followed in the development of the Skagit river project. It should be followed in placing our street railway system under a separate department. CITY EXPENDITURES— The city should be placed on a real “budget system” basis. The pres- ent system of departmental estimates permits de- partments to underestimate their needs and then make up deficits by so-called emergency ordinances. Requiring departments to keep within their esti- mates will save the people hundreds of thousands of dollars. The co-ordination of the work of tlie va- rious city departments would prevent a large waste of money thru the duplication of effort.
