Thursday the Richmond batters
bumped Bradys brand of benders
brutally. They failed Frye's favorite
filings unfeelingly.
On the other hand, the Danville
demons did little with the willow
when clouts counted although sew
eral times they found Merchants
goods to their liking.
Merchant, In a measure, became Il
hero, especially after his little ex-
pericnce with Catcher Smith, of the
Danvilie team. Smith WAS peevish AT
the way the game was going, and
when Merchant tried to score on a
medley of throws and errors ne took
the ball on Laughlin's throw to the
plate and thumped Ii into the pitch
ers neck.
Now Smith happened to be in Mer-
chants way to the plate and the lat
ter did not propose to he blocked off.
NO doubt he bumped the sturdy Smith
rudely. Anyway, Smith was annoy
cd. and to the fans 1t looked az If
he desired to assault Merchant bodily.
In a moment there was an uproar.
Two cops considered II necessary to
saunter to the scene, but the excite
ment was over before they arrived.
The crowd was wrathy over Smiths
action, however.

Umpire Henderson knew that Laugh

work in spite OF q damaged thumb.
He let him remain in the game, and
the incident was forgotten because

1t was bad day for Danvine
Coggins was obliged to retire and
Laughlin went from first to second

he switched Brady and Frye. His

Two shots from Merchant and Baker

For the first time in the history OF
the city a systematic and thorough
effort is made to draw up scientitc
budget, and to bring the expenditures
of the city within its possible revenues
for the year.
The problem involved is the making
of budget is simply this: The city
has $4,000 1000 to spend. Tie amount
is fixed and limited by law. The
problem is how to apportion this
amount of money among the various
departments Of the city in such a way
as to secure the greatest efficiency.
The first step was to get an esti-
mate from each city department OF
the amount required for the ensuing
year.
When these estimates were brought
together and totaled, it was found
that the departments had asked for
81, 100, 900 more than the city had to
spend. How to reduce this amount
so as to bring it within the limits al
lowed was the next problem.
The greatest difficulty, however, was
how to meet deficit that had been
left over by preceding administrations
This amounted to over 100000. There
was $223,00O of delinquent taxes,
mostly uncollectable. These had been
accommodating through the years OF pre-
ceding administrations. and had al
ways been counted as an asset. But
since they cannot be collected, that
amount has become deficit which
has been taken out of the trust funds,
and which therefore the city must pay.
It must therefore be provided for.
Again, there were land contracts
aggregating more than 100000, that
had been neglected heretofore, which
now must be paid. On these contracts
some Of the best. parks of the city had
been purchased. Payments should
have been made each five years. These
payments had been postponed from
time to time until they at last reached
the limit allowed by law. They now
must be paid, or their validity become
questionable. Under these circum-
stances the owners of these contracts
naturally demanded payment:
And finally the failure of former
administrations to provide in the bud
get which covered the year of 1910,

for the expenses that were absolutely
essential to the Expenditures
that were forced upon the administra-
ton by the situation in which they
found themselves, left another deficit
of $4,000 for the current year. Thus
the total deficit for which the present
board of estimated had to provide in
one way or another in the present
budget, was over 100000.
Naturally enough this was very
serious reduction of the funds that
could otherwise have been. apportion-
ed to the various departments OF the
city government.
In order to meet this situation it
became absolutely necessary for the
board OF estimates to adopt rigid
policy of retrenchments in fixing the
limits for the finances of the city for
the ensuing year.
Every department was called before
the board and the situation thorough!
explained. All the hearings were
public and all accounts open tn any
who cared to study them. Each de-
partment estimate was thereupon re-
duced. This applied to all departments
except those whose limit of resources
were fixed by state Law, and which
therefore could not be revised by the
board.
In many cases this will result in IL
very serious handicap. In order to
keep the expenses of the city rigidly
an exactly within the resources which
the city has, all the departments will
have to operate on less money than
they really require. Many OF them
will be seriously crippled. And as to
wages and salaries, it was found
necessary to cut out all increases and
to eliminate all new positions. This
was adhered to with but one or two
exceptions.
After all this was done there still re-
NAMED $16O,OOO upprovided for. This
the boardefnally decided to meet by
issuing refunding bonds. After the
board had finished its work on the
budget it was turned over to the
finance committee of the City Council.
That committee will revise the work Of
the board of estimates. 1t will then
be sent to the Council for their final
action and approval.
