Based on these figures the council the
undertook to reduce the mill levy and at

it Is calculated as bang needed to run tli

tenance last year. The police fu4, which
proved insufficient to get the department

total valuation of ail buildings burned
during, the year together with the con
tents of them amount to $727,395, on which
there was a total insurance of $436,885.
Deducting the insurance loss on fires
within the packing district, which is
