CITY TREASURY
IN GOOD SHAPE
SAYS WALLACE
DETAILS ARE OUTLINED TO
CITY CLUB MEMBERS
RISING TOAST DRUNK IN HONOR
OF CONSOLIDATION
Question of Salaries Said by Speaker
to Be Present Grave Menace
to Municipal Finance
Conditions

At / o'clock yesterday afternoon the
City club, assembled at its weekly
luncheon al the Westminster, arose and
drank a toast to Greater Los Angeles
The toast was proposed by Frank q.
Finlayson, first vice president Of the
club, who oficiated yesterday in the
absence of President John D. Works.
1t had been announced that the final
consummation of consolidation would
take place exactly at noon, and Mr.
Finlayson waited an hour to be certain
the final action had been taken.
A. J. Wallace, chairman of the finance
committee of the city council, was the
principal speaker at the club luncheon.
He told an unusually large audience
for August about "City Finances" and
put himself i'm the position of an agent
of corporation reporting the years
business to the stockholders.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-08-29
Salary List Attacked

He said that disregarding this policy
had caused salaries to creep up, until
now they took up much the largest
share of the citys income. With the
positions that have been created for
San Pedro and Wilmington, Wallace
said the greater city is now paying
100000 annually in salaries alone.
He pointed out that the janitoF, ele-
vator and engineer service in the city
hall cost $500 year alone. He said
there are many public buildings with
twice the floor space of the city hall
where the cost of this service is not
more than half. He approved a plan
of advertising for bids for janitor serv-
ice and awarding the contract to the
lowest bidder.
Consolidation of the city treasurer's
and tax and license collectors offices
was advocated by the speaker. He said
this had been done in several cities
with good results, and that 1t would
greatly reduce the cast of government
If done in Los Angeles. A charter
amendment would be necessary to ef-
feet this. said Mr.. Wallace, and he
urged his audience to bear this in mind
when a new charter is proposed.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-08-29
City Budget Report Read

He began his address by reading the
same report that the budget committee
made to the city council when it re-
ported the years budget. He pointed
out that because of a deficit in the out
fall sewer fund the present council had
gone into office facing an empty treas
ury and numerous debts. An arrange
ment even had to be made with the
banks SO that employees could shave
their salary warrants.
But this year. he showed, the city
was not only able to meet its pay rolls,
but there also is money enough in the
treasury to pay all outstanding debts
as soon as they are presented and ap-
proved. In addition to this, Mr.. Wal
lace said, fire engine houses and bridges
have been constructed out of the gen.
eral tax levy whereas heretofore they
always have been built by bond money.
The question of salaries paid to city
employees is a subject very near to Mr.
Wallace's heart, and he dwelt at some
length on the salary question. He said
the next council would have to face this
issue squarely at the beginning of the
term. He favored a policy of fixing a
salary for the position and keeping it
at the point fixed without regard to the
merit of the individual who holds the
position.

And nt the same time 1t IS no more
than simple justice to say that q large
