Nothing Allowed Extra Police

sured and Tax Levy Fixed
at Laaa Than Ten Mills.
Mayor Oeorge H. Williams' estimate
of expenaee for 1805 suffered a severe
reduction at the hands of the ways ami
meana committee of the counoll. which
presented Its annual report this after
noon to the council on the receipts sad
expenditures for next year.
The city engineer's department Buf
fered most fl'4,S62 being cut from the
running expenses. This wul relieve a
large number of the men now employed
In the department, and which the waya
and means committee think are entirely
unnecessary.
Chief of Police Hunt's hopes of having
a large force of officers for ltot were
also bleated, as the estimates erf hi Is1
department were reduoed III, 411, leaving
only SM.M3 with which to carry on Ita
work. This Is only 3.ooo more than
was uaed to run the department last
year. The chief will not be able to ap
point any additional officers.
Other cuts In the estimates were made
which will brllng the total reduction to
about 176,000. and will bring tbe esti
mated expenaee within the amount of
estimated receipts. The ways and means
committee found that tbe reductions
were absolutely necessary, aa they could
find no method for raising any addi
tional funds. They stated tbe revenues
of ths elty were net Increasing in pro
portion ' to the Increase In growth and
population. They are animadverted on the "
oounty aasessor by saying that although
the values of ths property had Incraased
the aasesssd valuation rsmalned the
same, the Increase In the aeaeead valu
ation merely covering Improvements
The amount of the tax levy was placed
at the limit which ts 9 mills, being W
mill greater than the levy proposed by
Mayor Williams.
In all probability, if additional funds
can be secured from sny source, the
strain upon several of the departments
will be relieved In the earing.
Ths committee consists of L. Zimmer
man. H. R. Albee and D, T. Sherrett
Their report follows:
ef She
"We recommend a levy of taxee of
nine and Ave eighths (S) mills en
each dollar of valuation of the property
assessed, the same to be apportioned aa
provided by section 114 of the charter,
ss follows:

"In considering ths estimates of the
expenses of the several departments aa
recommended by his honor, we have
found It necessary to reduce thaw to
the probable Income of the city. In
thla matter we desire to explain that
we consider the recommendations eonV
talned In tho budget to be conservatively
within the actual requirements of the
several departments In order to estab
