LEVIES
L
MUNICIPAL TAXES
ASHLAND, Nov. H.-- A mas., of fig
ures and estimates ernnected with
municipal and school budgets is rather
drv "-ending, and it is jniy when these
flcmK hie divided ini spedfi.: ap
iionionincnld lor certain puriKises that
the direct application of Income and
outgo Is exeinplinei.
Tho munlcfda! budget is the irst
example, although ttitS .
is the two main departments, '
anil light, are left out of the reckoning.
they being termed "self-supporting,"
and in fact are remunerative. A sum
mary of estimates for eight other de
partments, none self-supporting, calls
for a revenue of approximately $50,
000, to be raised on the basis of a levy
of 19.7 mills. This amount will be
shaded somewhat by the knocking int't
a cocked hat of the $1S.O(IO bond issue
as recently proposed, effecting a sav
ing of $,0SH In the way of interest, a
saving which is only "apparent," how
ever, as this money has ultimately got
to bo raised in one way or another.
The apportioned levy by classification
requires for the general department,
4.3 mills: street, 2. 38; cemetery, .16;
sewer, .01;. publicity and Chautauqua
(livestock being excluded), .36: li
brary, .13S; park, 1.S0; fire, 1.84 all
yielding $49,901. IS.
In the general department the max
imum provision is an estimate for
street lighting, $r.000. Ashland pays
its mayor nnd councilmen collectively
only $550 a year In the way of salaries;
city attorney, $000; city treasurer.
$300; city judge, $240; "portion of
recorder's salary," $750.
Tho police department iys Its chief
$1500 per year: night watchman.
$1320, and in addition tho budget car
rlos a provision of $750 for special po
lice, should a "riot call" demand their
services. The general department
also scorns to respond to "the call of
tho wild." inasmuch as $50 is appor
tioned in the estimates for feeding the
elk, though one would naturally sup
pose that the park commission should
supply this provender. Then there Is
$700 per year for upkeep of the police
car, considered to he a generous ap
portionment. The car is a good sized
Reo, and must be kept mighty busy,
for It is reiiorted that its travels an
nually are based on an average of
10,000 miles by tho official "cop"
tometer. An outlay of nearly $5000 on
police account is partially offset, how
ever, by an estimated income of about
$1000 by way of fines and licenses
credited to tho general fund, plus
other revenues to the amount of $1800
or so, the telephone franchise yielding
$500 towards relieving the general de
ficiency aggregates.
The street, department is all outgo,
the commissioner receiving $1200 sal
ary, the sole instance among city em
ployes where tho pay remains on a
pre-war basis, the salary list of all
others having been boosted and re
boosted. Material and labor on streets
call for $1000. It will cost $210 to feed
the team, and $175 to feed the tractor
total, $373 by way of comparison
with $700 which it costs to feed the
police car.
It seems to bo dead certain that the
cemetery department's outlay will be
$705.78. less an estimated income of
$300 from Balo of lotB.
Tho sewor department lets us off
easy on an expenditure of $101.44, an
amount hardly sufficient to settle the
average plumbing job.
Tho band takes $000, lion's share of
the publicity aud Chautauqua depart
mcnt, while $300 goes for upkeep of
the property, and tho unlucky sum of
$13 'for publicity. Total, $913.
Interest and bond department Is
where you get your figures in plenty.
me sum ueiug jj,&i.70, minus an
estimated balance at the end of the
fiscal year of $3000.39. The several
bond classifications number six, there
being $t;ooO original sewer bonds,
$175,000 auxiliary non-chlorinated
water bonds, $15,000 park bonds, $50,
500 refunding bonds, $5,50 improve
ment bonds, and $37,000 refunding
Ilancroft bonds, in addition to the
$1S,000 not-yet-issued bonds. The coun
cil contemplates a payment of $1000 on
the original sewor bonds, and very
wisely plans to set aside $5000 or over
for bond redemption purposes.
Hooks and periodicals will require
iiaO of the library department. Sal
aries aggregate $1800, while the bal
ancc of expense account makes the
estimated apportionment nearly $3500.
For the single item of labor the park
department will require $1400 of the
$aa00 mentioned in the estimates, sub
ject to reduction of nearly $1000 from
the sale of cups, gas, etc.
I ho fire department calls for over
$4500. The chief receives $1320, and
two assistants $2520. Volunteer fire
men will draw about $100, while mis
cellaneous expenses make op the bal
ance, notably hose, tires, and accident
insurance. . .
With three exceptions, the term
"none" applies to estimated balance at
close of fiscal year." also to "estimat
ed income." used in connection with
the prospective status of the various
municipal departments lespectivelv. If
one thinks the figures in this budget
are formidable, it is only fair to state
that they do not equal those for the
ear 1921, tho decrease being a half-
mill as to levy, or $2,920.08 as ex
pressed In dollars and cents, the rev
enue for 1921 having bepu on a
S52S7.2ii basis by way of comparison
witli JI9.9C1.1S in the 1922 budget. The
council has diligently worked over the'
problem, pruning the estimates where
ever reductions seemed possible, and
as a further evidence of squaring the
issue with taxpayers, publicly adver
tises that at a meeting of that body, on
Nov. 25, 7:30 o'clock at city hall, the
budget will be discussed and oppir
tunity given for anyone to voice objec
tions thereto, also in the meantime the
estimates are on file with the city I
recorder, subject to examination if
interested parties so desire, the object
being to give tho matter tile utmost
publicity before the budget is finally
adopted.

made May 25th, 1921,
in the 2nd Field Artillery

its friends. Miss Clark,
it will be noted, stood

Before You Buy, Hear the Phono graphThat
Had General Wingate Guessing! Compare!
"ERTAINLY, you have never
denied this:
That the ideal phonograph is the one
whose reproduction of music can
not be told from the original music.
Your reason, however, has probably
insisted
that so perfect a phonograph can
never be.
General Wingate tells you it can
be and IS! Read his letter. '
Last month, Bamboschek told you
the same thing :
and he is principal conductor at the
Metropolitan Opera House.
America's magazines and news
papers have printed numerous articles
by leading musicians and music-critics
and they also said what General
Wingate has said.
The proof of the New Edison's
perfect realism is in black on white.
We can show it to you, and will.
Whether all this convinces you or
not, doesn't it suggest something?
Doesn't it suggest that you are
overlooking the newest, most interest
ing and most significant development
in phonographs unless you hear the
marvelous New Edison yourself? .
Unless you compare.
Unless you try the phonograph
that does sustain the comparison-test
against those which do not.
Why not make sure that your
Christmas phonograph is the pho
nograph which will bring your family
music's highest pleasures and benefits?

Come in and hear the comparisons
we've arranged.
