CITY is IN NEED OF FUNDS
Mayor and other OmciaIs Hold q Ses-
sion to Devise ways Of Rails
ing Money.

Mayor Morgan and other municipal Of
hcials, II is said, are beginning to realize
the need Of further funds than those in
sight to carry on the administration Of the
city until the new fiscal year. The lack
of funds and the question OF from what
source additional revenue can be obtained
are said TO be worrying the mayor and
aldermen. The situation, 1t 10 said. called
for a secret conference Of the heads Of the
several city departments one night last
week. The conference is said to have
been held at the suggestion Of the mayor
on his return from his trip to Oregon and
at t. several suggestions we're made for
providing additional revenue to keep the
wheels Of the administration moving. One
plan suggested. It is said, is that the city
levy a tax or license OF s. a month on
every slot machine, 1t being claimed that
ahe owners OF these machines we're willing
to pay this sum in return for the privilege
Of being permitted to operate them. As
there are a large number Of slot machines
IN the city. this scheme would produce
quite a revenue. According to one OF the
aldermen who was present AZ the confer
enoe, Il is more than likely that this license
will be imposed in the near future.
