This is not due to any reduction-in expenses on the part of the Board but because of a change in the method of: levying. It formerly was custom- ` ary for the Board to put . in its requisition to the Council about the middle of the year for the` twelve months from that date, so` the levy usually covered the ex-` penditure of half the following` year. This latter part ofthe levy} assisted the Council in financing as the Board drew only such` money as it required from time_ `It is an all-the-`year-round amuse- ment.
