Other installments of the report will follow from week to week until the en- tire survey is in the hands of the readers of WINNETKA TALK.

Gen. and Better- ment Fund com- bined, end of year (Deficit) .... $ 19,523 § 1,900 Explains Betterment Fund For the purpose of making a distinc- tion between the ordinary tax and other revenue of the General fund, used for defraying cost of the usual muni- cipal activities, and special revenue de- rived from the dividend from the elec- tric department, and used for public improvements, the foregoing statement at the suggestion of the Finance com- mittee, shows a Betterment fund, sep- arate from the General fund, to which is credited the electric department dividend and against which is charged the expense of public improvements which could not otherwise be made by the Village without incurring bonded indebtedness. The foregoing statement shows that the budget as submitted contemplates taxation, and other income of $238955 and expenditures for nomal operation, and for public benefits and bond re- tirement and interest, properly charge- able against general taxation, of $257,- 887. In other words, for ordinary mu- nicipal operation, exclusive of the elec- tric dividend, the budget contemplates spending about 18,000 more than the income of the General fund. It is. therefore, suggested that the council give careful consideration to the items presented by the accompanying bud- get. It is believed that the following items oarticularly may be of interest: 1. Budget includes an item of $2,- 000 for the completion of the fire sta- tion project. An item of $2,000 is included for revising and printing the Municipal code, under Sundry Public expense. 3. Under Health devartment, an item of $500 is included for new equip- ment, needed for the clinic and other purposes; provision is also made for an increase of $500 in the salary of the health officer. 4. Under Public Works department, an expenditure of $17.675 is provided for maintenance of navements 5. An item of $725 is nrovided for maintenance of narkwav trees, includ- ine removal of dead trees, 6. An item of $6.500 is included for new equipment in the Public Works department, including a new ten ton road roller and other incidental equip- ment. 7. The budget includes an item of $40,140 for police department salaries as compared with $34891 last year, based on the recommendations of the Chief of Police. 8. The budget includes an item of $19,700 for salaries in the fire depart- ment as compared with $17,188 last year. This includes a Fire marshal, six regular firemen and ten call men, but does not include two additional regular firemen mentioned by the mar- shal in his annual report, 9. The budget includes $34,316 for public benefits, which provides for the payment of $8,500 during the year to- ward the deficit in the Center Street Improvement fund, this deficit bein $12,676. Except where specifically discussed in this report under department head- ings. the other expenditures included in the attached budget are in general line with past practice. In considering the budget it may be of interest to the Council to have a comparison of the budget figures with the average cost of government per capita in United States cities for 1924, the date of the last available report. This comparison follows : Budget, Winnetka 1927-28 Cost Per Cap. U. 8S. (11,000 Cities popu. 192i Gen.

The foregoing total of $218,087 is less than the budget total of $276,903, because of the fact that capital expen- ditures and expenditures for the Park board and others, for which the Vil- lage is reimbursed, have been elimin- ated.
