The streams of revenue had run dry and were getting smaller. The difficulty in regard to taxation was that It had become unprofitable to carry unimproved lota. The situation demanded the strictest economy. Already the members of the council had made themselves very unpopular but these unpleasant things had to be done. Happily the school 'board was co-operating well with the council. All Tovslble Economies The mayor then recounted the effort made to stop the application for a commissioner, which so far had been successful. He felt sure that If they could make a good showing they would be allowed to carry on. They had been Instituting all possible economies and he thought the people should know exactly where they stood. The city now had neither money or credit. However, he felt the library was one of the beat of the city's public services. While they could not give the same financial help that they had In the past, lt was hoped that they would be able to carry on. The salaries of the teachers had not been paid since December, the mayor sail. The City Hall staff would alsr have to wait for their pay Some of Uic account due to merchants ha I to be paid. As soon as they could st ike a mill rate there were people In the city prepared to nay their taxes In advance which would help rellee the situation. The assessment this year would be smaller than ever before and he ex pected that leas taxes would be collected thla year than last To try to get higher taxes would only defeat the object they had In view. The rate had to be kept as low as possible. If the rate were lowered rather than raised tte felt that more money would be paid. While It eoukt not be expected that the budget would be balanced they were moving along doing the beat they could As soon as they had heard the C. N.
