It appears now that the Board of Works will have to be satised with the usual $10,000 of which nearly $3,- 000 has already been spent this year and that much pressing road. sewer and sidewalk construction will again go by the boards. This is because council has no means of raising ad- ditionai money by taxes under the present assessment. Increased uncon- troilable expenditure. such as schools and county, has precluded any chance of raising more money in the usual way for general purposes. The paring knife is being used lib- erally by committee chairmen these days in an eort to get the tax rate for 1929 down to something of the level of last year. An increase, how- ever, is inevitable owing to demands over which council has no control. also statutory considerations, that of keeping within 25 mills for general purposes. . When council met in committee on Tuesday night a veritable epidemic of increased budgets was in evidence. Board of Works asked for $19,000, an increase of $9,000. Fire and police asked for $1,400 more. indigent $1.- 000, water and light $300. In addi- tion to this the Board of Education estimates are up over $1,000 and an additional $6,000 will have to` be pro- vided for county purposes.
