Comment March 26, 1906—Board of
Health.
The aggregate appropriations for
tlie board of health (luring Mr. Din
nie's administration were $7,750, and
this included among others the fol
lowing items: Purchase and repair
of site, including buildings, etc., in
1900 and 1902, $2,500 scavenger, 1900,
$1,100 total, $3,600 leaving a balance
of $4,150 for the operations of the
board of health during the four years,
or an average of $1,037.50 per year.
During these years the city cared for
the pauper patients and we had a
smallpox epidemic. The aggregate
appropriations for the board of health
for the past two years during Mr.
Duis'Tidministration was $7,800, while
the nctual expenditures were $10,950.
Dealing, however, with the appropria
tions alone, we find there were $3,000
appropriated in 1904 for the detention
hospital the appropriation in 1905 is
not itemized, but in the aggregate is
$3,200 for maintenance of the hospital,
care of patients, physicians and supply
bills and completion of hospital dur-

ing 1904 the appropriations for items
other than construction were $1,(500,
and taking that as the amount for
1905 we find the total appropriation
for carrying on the operations of the
board of health were $3,200, or $1,600
per year, being an increase of about
$600 per over the average of Mr. Din
nie's administration. This, however,
is not the full story, because during
Mr. Dinnie's administration and prior
to July 1, 1903, the city cared for all
pauper patients. By chapter 41* of
the 1903 laws, being a bill introduced
by Dr. Taylor, this expense was put
on the county, thereby reimbursing
the city for such expenditures.
Dr. Wheeler says the sand in the

chemical analysis discloses the water

There is an insufficient amount of

During the last four years of Mr. Dinnie's administration the average appropriation for each year was §51,491.35 the average of the two years of the Duis
administration was $68,265.00, showing an increase each year of §16,773.75, or an average increase for each day of the two years of approximately $46.00. It is
significant here to call attention to the miscellaneous appropriation for 1903 and 1901, as shown in the tables as being §20,325.00 this amount is made up in part of
the following items: Parks, $8,000.00—which amount was never levied the appropriation was simply made and no tax was based thereon no money was raised for
that purpose and no tax was levied based upon that item. This sum also includes $4,000.00 for the equipment of the library, in addition to $2,000.00 for its main
tenance, and the further sum of $1,500.00 for an armory, which amount was never paid out, but on the contrary was turned over to the Duis administration by Mr.
Dinnie when his term ended. If these amounts are deducted from Mr. Dinnie's administration and the amount of the armory added to that of Mr. Duis, the increase
is materially larger.

It will be noted here that the miscellaneous items for 1903 show the decrease in expenditures already noted in other words, the appropriation for miscellaneous
items was $20,325.00, while the actual expenditures were $9,595.78, or more than $10,000.00 less.
The significant feature we desire to call to the attention of the voter at this time is that the actual expenditures per year, during the last four years of Mr.
Dinnie's administration was $50,585.09 per year, while the actual expenditures during the administration of Mr. Duis was $71,843.64, or an increase of $58.24 per day

During the first ten days of September of each year the Annual Appropriation Bill is enacted, and this may be termed the city "budget it is the appropria
tion of moneys to be used by the various departments during the ensuing year, and upon it the tax levy is based. (Sees. 2262 and 2190, Code.) The mayor has control
over this and may veto any item or the whole bill if it does not meet with his approval. (Sec. 2147, Code.) The foregoing shows the total appropriation for each
year made during the last four years of Mr. Dinnie's incumbency, as well as the total appropriation for each year and for each department and the average appropri
ation for each year. A comparison is invited with the appropriation during the administration of Mr. Duis as follows:

The amount expended by the Dinnie
administration in the care of streets
averaged $S,905.42 per year, while
during the Duis administration for the
bailie purpose there was expended
$21,274.80, or an average of of $10,
37.40, or an increase of $1,731.98,
approximately $150 per month.
Daring the eight years of Mr. Din

brought against the city damage suits
aggregating $10,400 in amount, of
which there ripened into judgment
$800 for Mrs. Kerr, who fell on a
slight slant constructed by a property
owner upon which to run his bicycle.
The negligence of the city was predi
cated upon the failure to discover and
cause this slant to be straightened.
With $150 per month more expend

during the past two years damage
suits against the city aggregating $53,••

for quite a length of time. The legal
department served proper notice upon
the telephone company, which settled
the loss at $5,250.
2. In the Allman case, $33,400 the
negligence of the superteudent of
water works and street commissioner
in laying and permitting to be iaiJ a
water pipe with it3 guards on top of
the pavement created a liability
against the city of $850.
3. In the Edmonds easy, $5,000,
which was decided by a jury at the
last term of court, giving a verdict of
$500. The negligence of the city is
prediaeted upon the act of the street
commissioner in tearing out the side
walk and carelessly putting in a bed
of sand in the plaec thereof below the
level of the walk.
In connection with these facts there
should be considered the cost of main
taining the legal department, for
which there was expended during the
last four years of the Dinnie adminis
tration an average of $683.50 per
year, while during the Duis admin
istration by reason of the increased
litigation the annual cost was
$1,285.78, or almost twice as much.
