'The Council." reads Auditor Bar bur's report, "has eliminated many items from the budget as originally submitted in order to meet the gen eral demand for a low-tax levy. The items eliminated aggregate over $726, 000, and would be considered as abso lutely necessary under normal condi tions. "The estimated available balance In the city treasury November 30, 1916, applicable to the payment of current expenses, including $80,000, which rep resents savings in the appropriations allowed for the present year, is $115,-00-0. This amount, with the $202,000 surplus provided for in the present levy, will be necessary to meet unfore seen emergencies which will arise, and the payment of current expenses of the city from December 1, 1917, until such time as sufficient money is re ceived from taxes, which will not be until March, 1918. "A balance of $286,000 was carried forward from the year 1915 to meet current expenses until such time as money would be available from 1916 taxes, but a large portion of this amount has been expended to meet emergencies (over $90,000 being ex pended for the removal of snow, ice and slides and the relief of the unem ployed), and as a consequence the city will be without sufficient funds to meet its running expenses for a portion of the time until money is available from taxes," the report continues. . The tax levy of 9 mills is divided as follows: Mills General fund To provide for the payment of the general expenses of the city, except as otherwise pro vided, including maintenance and repair of sewers and paved streets-.7.3 Eomled indebtedness interest fund To meet interest on bonded indebt edness, except water, dock and crematory bonds 12 Sinking fund To provide for the purchase, payment or redemption of bonded indebtedness, payable from general taxation, except dock bondH, including $1,250,000 water bonds 04 Firemen's relief and pension fund Kor the benefit of firemen and their families, pursuant to the pro visions of section 202 of the char ter, as amended June 2; 1913 0.1 Following is a general statement of finances: Estimated balance in general fund after canceling $80,000 saved from appropriations for the year 1916.. . $ 115,000 Estimated, general fund re ceipts from taxes, 1917 2,038,890 Estimated general fund re- ceipts from other sources. . . 383,563 Estimated interest fund re ceipts from taxes 1917 335.160 Estimated sinking fund re ceipts from taxes, 1917 111720 Estimated firemen's relief and ' pension fund receipts from taxes, 1917............... 27 930 HOOSIEK PASTOR AT WHITE TEMPLE TODAY, f ' - " W-JM)PWP i fr"- H VV " - V-'-' v ' '- Dr. Charles A.
