A special meeting of the city coun­
cil was called last Monday evening
to adopt the budget for the coming

probable receipts is elsewhere pub­
lished in this issue.
A new item enters into tho budget

before—e levy to create a sinking fund
for the 880,000 of funding bonds,

all of the 1.9 mills by which the tax
levy made this fall will axceed that
of last year.
The expenses for the past year have
been $1488 leaa than the eetimate of a_
year ago, but while this is evidence
of tho economy of the city administra­
