The eetimate of expenditures filed
by th ohlef engineer, of the fire de
partment for tb year 1919 aggregate
8779.140. Tha charter limit th
amount to be Wvled for fire ' depart
ment porpoae to IU mills. The esti
mated amount of assessable property
within tha olty limits, after deducting
la 9878.600,000. and a levy of S mill
would produce nil, 750, which added to
th estimated available balance to be
earrled forward from tha ' year 1911.
would amount to $685,068.60. It will
be seen that the amount of th esti
mate filed by the chief engineer of the
fir department is far la axoess of the
amount authorised for said department,
and that a material redaction will have
been mad.
