Phone 180 -J TAX RATE IS SAME AS LAST YEAR Power of Raising Levy by New Law is Not Brought Into Use. ALL FUNDS ARE PROVIDED FOR Additions Are Counterbalanced by Reductions in a Number of Levies. Despite the fact the last leglslatur gave the city council of Des Molnet authority to raise the city tax rata nlno mllla or nearly a cent on the dollar, tha levy for next year will be exactly th same at mills. Thlt does not mean, however, that all of tha things for which leviet wer ate tnoriaed are to Ignored; that no arrangements have been made for building ne city hall, tha viaduct, the purchasing ot park property and protection against noons. At a matter of fact, all of tha Immediate needs ar taken care of In tha new levy, but by clever engineering th total tax rate it kept within tha old hounds.

Four new funds with a total levy of mllla have been added to care for tha special needs recognlxed by the legisla ture. The additions were almost mandatory. Still, the council succeeded In cut. ting down tome of the levies of thlt year to tuch an extent that the addition are counterbalanced by reductions. in view of tha fact It appeared ci tain two week ago that thejevy could not be kept under th 40 mill mark ther wa considerable satisfaction expressed over the arrangement thla morning.

Th council held an opan committee of th whole meeting, and to satisfactorily arranged th levy that all who were prea-ent voted la favor of it. Councilman Hamery was th only member absent.

Th reduction glv the city 4.1 mill less In Its regular fund for th new year than It had thlt. Th increases which offset thlt reduction are 1 mill for th purchase of park property, 1 mill for flood protection, mill for viaduct, 1 mill for firemen' pension fund and 1.7 mill for city improve, ment. Th latter It the onlv reii fund Increased. All the rest are for special purpoaet and are new. It wat discovered early that the 1J mill for tha m.

The one mill appropriated for th purchase of park property, Councilman Ash proposes to spend on tha river front property now owned by private Individuals.

Solicitor lirennan secured for Dea Molnet the right to make 4 mill levy for park maintenance In addition to the 1 mill levy for purchase.

In on section of th code a levy of I mllla for ptrk purposei was raised to Then, by Hrennan'a bill, dealing wlih cliy's under the commission form of government, another provision for lt mUls was made. At the tamo time It In no way affected th 2V4. Deride On Four Hut th council thought It would as 111 advfaed move to place th levy tor park maintenance and purchase at th mill limit. It was put at 4 mills Instead. Th council decided not to split In half th two mill levy authorised by th Beventlt street viaduct, because th property owner who can demand damage of the city on their abutlng property hv not signed waiver of their claim until thi taxes collected.

Hollcltnr lirennan wa asked by Councilman M.icVlcar for th situation on th viaduct when Mr. Hrennan advocated th full 1 mill levy. "Unless Mr. Huhbell get what wants on tilxth street, he won't ilgn, will heT" queried MacVlcar. "He I holding hit signature up awaiting the council's action on that matter," agreed Mr.

lirennan. "He's burking, then. II wantt to glv him something. I'm not In favor ot bribing Mr. Hubbell," tald th council, man.
