Cuts Down Expenses,

Helena, Mont, Dec. 22Ike.
city council this evening adopted
plan of reduction of the city
expenses by which current ex.
penses are cut down one half.
The mayor consented to reduc-
ton of his salary to $40 month,
the aldermen gave up their sala-
ries entirely and other officials
who could not be reached by or
dinance voluntarily consented to
similar reductions. The police
force is reduceds to six men and
their salaries are cut from 500
to Is. In the fire department the
same order prevails. An impor-
tant detail of the plan is that
hereafter all taxes are to be paid
into a contingent fund and cash
is to be paid for everything,
while outstanding warrants are
allowed to go unpaid until times
get better. The warrants of the
city were at 30 great a discount
that the city was paying ruinous
prices for everything, when it hit
upon this plan.
