IT’S UP OT AUGUSTA TONIGHT. Augusta ia living beyond Its Income, •pending large sums of money on needed public Improvements and at the same time equipping and main taining the various departments of the city on a scale more common ■urate with u city double the sl/.e and with twice the Inc unci of An (usta. Bond issue* and more bond issue* will be needed to pay I lie hills that Augusta aa a rltv is making It's up to the City Council to say very defi nitely whether Augualn in going to continue to live beyond Its Income or whether It is going to put the various departments of the oily on a sound baste—make a proper budget and llv.< within the city's Income and find the money to pay the city’s bills It's poor policy to cut down me money for street Improvements and not at the game time to rut down adequately regular running expenses of the city. Tne 140,000 that the Special Committee proposes to take away this year from the macaAtmls tng fund will have to he replaced next yesr In greater measure. In the meantime white the streels of the city get worse and worse. tt is also to be doubted If this can he legally done, for the money raised for afreet purisx.es is raised by a special tax for that specific purpose In fart the law requires the City Treasurer to keep these special tax levies separate and prevent* the spending of this money fur any other purpose thsn for which It was spe cially raised. The way for Auguata to live within Its Income is to live within Its In come and not to play politics with the various department*. This Is no time to talk about the efficiency of the various departments it’s time to , talk in dollars and rente The Civil Service « ommlssion may want to; spend $200,000 tills yesr It would be all right to make such an appro- | priation ot the city could afford It But It's up to Council to appropriate funds well within Its income tu the various departments It It’s only $160,000 that they can allow the Civil Service Commission, we have no doubt but that the commission will lie üble to get along with that sum. And no with all other dei-artments of the city. Frankly, Augusta is going to vole no more bond Issues until the cltt- i .bens and taxpayers are convinced that Che administration means busi ness and that city affairs are being run on a sound basis hiul with due regard to income and outgo. The problems thet are worr>ing tne City Council and the eighteen conn cilmen and the mayor are mainly po litical ones —they would be settled in an hour's discussion as a matter of business or under a Commission Form of Government for the city. We venture the prediction that they never will be settled, never can be ■ettled. under the old ward line, ooun cllmanic, political form of govern ment, that Augusta now has One of tlhes* days Augusta will have the Commission Form of Gov- j ernment and Join the 300 modern and up-to-date cities, where over nlu<- mil lion people live under a modern and up-to-date form of municipal adunnis t ration WHO OWNS THE CANAL?
