CITY AUDITOR
There was expended for Soldiers' Benefits $30,345.14. Of this there is an estimated return by the state of $2,407.50. Welfare and Soldiers' Benefits total $261,410.65.
To meet these expenditures it has been necessary to issue in the past year a Municipal Relief Loan of $62,000 and a Tax Title Loan of $46,346.27.
The amount expended for the same purposes in the year 1936 was: Welfare $148,242.65 and Soldiers' Benefits $30,345.14.
During the financial year $65,000 was hired to meet these payments.
The continuance of hiring money to meet re-occurring charges is poor busi- ness, and it is quite evident that some adjustment must be made in the tax limit if the City is to be kept anywhere near a pay as you go policy.
