S IS I City's Revenue For Coining Year Little More Than It Has Been In Previous Years ASSESSMENTS TOO LOW Large Number of Kcdiictions on In dividual lrN'i'ly and Then Mori .ontiil Itcdiietioii for ICnlli'e Colin ty Cut lialclgh Out of Several Thousand Dollars of Iteveiuie Tentative Budget Called for $1.10,- 000, But Will Hare to lie Scaled " Mown About $18,000. The small increase in the value of property in the city of Haleigh, un der tne recent asscroment, has caused the city fathers a good deal of worry. A growing .city must 'have revenue- commensurate- 'with its de velopment, but tins lias not been the case with Unleigh. The assessors and county board ot equalization, after making reductions on individual property, then made a horizontal cut for the entire county, at one tell swoop, losing revenue to the city to the amount ot about. ?l-,"0(). T:ie finance committee of the board of al dermen had prepared a tentative bud get tor the next "year ot '$luO,t)uuV ind the committee would not have missed the estimate much it so many reductions had not. been made by the assessors. As the matter now stands the increase in revenue will be less than J 12.500, whereas . $a.Y, UUO was anticipated. The budget was not submitted last night at the meeting ot the board ot aldermen, but will be some time this month. The sum of $17, (Hill will have to be eliminated from the nutl et. Instead of spending li"iO,ulM) all of winch is needed, w hile tae-dil-- lerent Interests are crying lor more the aldermen will have to be con tent, with about $1 32,37fi.ll.

With $150,000 to spend some of (be worst needed things could have been taken care .ol. but wjta $132,- 000 the expenses of the various de partments will liave to be cut down. 1 lore are some ot the hxed expenses o lllie city' Streets .. . . .... ... .... . . .$27,000 Polieo. .. ... . , , . . . . ... . . . 2",0'H) Lights. . , . ...... ...... 1 1,000 Fire Department ... . ..; ... . . 12.000 Sanitary and Health. . . . ... 2",ouo Total. . . . . .... , . . ... . . $;t;;,uoo The loregoing is an estimate ot the larger amounts,' but there are many ot.;ier itenis that must come out of the budget. This means, of course, that tew permanent improvements can be made with the present reve nue without an 'Increase in the tax rate, which is not likely. The.. rate will stand at $1.2! a hundred. Besides the estimated revenue ul f 132,0011, the city levies, a spocial tax amounting to $20,770 known as the Kinking fund, which cannot ho touched. Financially speaking the city cannot hope to do much improv ing with the amount of revenue it receives..-. - The Increase in valuation in the city ot Raleigh was Ies.3 than a mil lion dollars. , Bank Cashier Charged With Kmliez- xlemcnt.
