for
the
city
schools:
"mat

re
duced

twenty-five
percent.
with
the
'proviso
that
the
school
board
adjust

in

list
.but
that
the
total
salaries
do
not
exceed
$47,-514.
($56,397.50
at
present.)
"That
the
manual
training,
domestic
science,

clasi
and

class
be
abolished,
as
well
as
the
special
French
teachei
whose
duties
should
betaken
over
by
the
other
teachers
of
'he
regular
classes.
This
will
eliminate
six
teachers.
"That

'That

"We
think
the
item
of
$2,175
for

of

schools
is
too
high
and
might
be
reduced

the

city
buying

for

when

were

M.
M.

congratulated
the
city
council
on
having
cut
the
vote
for
new
books
for
the
library
from
$700
to
$150.

for

room,
It

of
the
most
worth-while
services

In
regard
to
hospital
matters,
the
delegation
was
assured
that
this
would
be
gone
into
by
the
council
and
hospital
board.
M.
M.
Stephens
felt
that
the
hospital
was
quite
able
to
carry
on
for
one
year
at
least
with
a
cut
from
the
usual
$11,000.
General
Discussion
Before
the
delegation
retired,
Messrs.
Stephens,
Rochester,
Arnold
and
Nickersqn
all
spoke
along
general
lines,
counselling
the
coun
cil
to
do
its
utmost
(h
paring
expenditures
so
that
an
improvement
tax
might
not
have
to
be
imposed.
If
the
burden
became
too
great,
It
would
be
impossible
for
the
property
owners
to
meet
their
taxes.
The
delegation
felt
that
It
should
be
possible
to
hold
down
the.
mill
rate
to
55
on
land
without
resorting
to
an
Improvement
tax.

Moreover,
there
was
the
pledge
to

bank
which
must
be
kept.
"And
what
If
the
citizens
refuse
to
pay
their
taxes?
What
will
the

do
then?"
asked
Mr.

"If

And,
if

we
will
avail
ourselves
of
the
power."
Mr.
Arnold
demanded'
that
no
Improvement
tax
should
be
imposed
without
getting
an
expression
of
opinion
by

,
Mr.
Nickerson
did
not
think
the
bank
should
be

to

to
the
city.

would

tate
before
It
allowed
the
city
to
go

Mr.
Rochester
thought
the
city
had
been
living
in
a
fool's
paradise.
It
was
now
up
to
the
council
to
go
thoroughly
into
everything
and
save
as
much
as
It
possibly
could.
On
behalf
of
the
delegation.
Mr.!
Wesch
thanked
the

for

;

that
had
been
accorded.
