spend 1T. You can always find new ways
to spend money, If you have the money
to spend. We have gone on spending,
and as we found that our supposed
needs increased faster than did our in
come. we found ways to make that
grow.
Il am not saying anything about
past councils. or the way they raised
money. They Undoubtedly thought it
was all right. We did, till we were
told differently. Now we see that it
wasn't right to raise money for bonds
and spend it for other things. 1t was
looked upon as necessary play to Sc
cure revenue that we thought we must
have. But now we know better And
there will never be another dollar
raised that way while I am in the
council, you bet.
Must Fit Income
But we have had to do like the
man; we have had to cut down our
expenses to fit our income. That's
business. No business man would
think of anything else. So we have
done it.
1t was a task; no one can know
what a job it was. AS our income had
increased, so had our imaginary neces-
sites; with the supposed additional
increase this year came an additional
outlining of things that were thought
absolutely required. But lots of them
were not; the departments had just got
in the habit of putting in everything
they thought they would like, even
when they could get along without
them. And we had to cut 'em down.
Some things had to go that 1 would
have preferred to have left in. We
ought to have some more policemen;
we need some new fire engines and
houses. Perhaps these departments
can squeeze them in before the year is
over; I don't know. But there were
the funds and the demands had to be
cut to fit them. That's all there was
to it,"
Mr.. Smith struck another match.
Have a cigar?p he asked. It was
accepted and lit. but his own match
died in his hands again. and the un-
lighted stub was again clinched be-
tween his teeth as a new line of
thought brought the brows together
once more.
And the men the city employs will
have to work little harder, too" said
he. They will have more to do. City
clerks don't always work as hard as
they should.
Jumps on Civil Service
IT don't take much stock in this
civil service in city departments"
This was a surprise enough to make
one sit up and take notice. But the
earnestness of the man showed that he
spoke. not from any desire to inject
politics into the city, but as a busi-
ness man simply.
MEN won't work as hard when they
know their jobs are secure as when
they are likely to be discharged II
they don't do their whole duty 1t isn't
in their nature to do so. You can't
get the work out of a man who knows
that you can't discharge him, that you
can when he knows that his job de-
pends on what he does. l don't be-
lieve 1t is the best thing for the city
Nor do you get the best men by it;
the best men for those particular
places Oh know the applicants have
to pass some sort OF examination" he
continued. "but that doesn't prove that
they are proficient in the tasks they
are wanted for 1t only proves that
they are best in the examination.
don't believe the best men are secured
that way. .as as.
And / don't believe 1t is just to the

No Raised Salaries

1t was cruel. The figures as finally
made up shocked the willing recipients
of increased income. Dreams Of raised
salaries. fatter jobs. softer snaps and
this and that and the other. went glim-
mering like snow in July simeon.
The fellows secure in their places be-
gan to worry over possible cuts, and
the hangers-on by their eyebrows
wondered If they had jobs at all The
bird house vanished into thin air, ana
the new police station Joined the hop
smoke. The added squads walked in
tangible beats and the park driveways
relapsed into COW paths again.
And then Councilman Smith took
hold. II ever chairman OF the finance
committee had job cut out for him.

"I don't think so. The streets can be

have lots of park lands and we will
some day have use for all of them. but
we don't need all of them now. Grlf-
