BUDGET IS To
Be CONSIDERED
Likely to Demand Greater POr-
tiOn Of Councils Time
This Evening.
CAREFUL CONSIDERATION
INTENTION OF S0L0NS
Transfer of Mandarich Saloon
License Will Provoke
Discussion.

A consideration of the city budget for
the current year promises to occupy
the greater portion Of this evening s
was finally passed upon by the board
of estimates and apportionment at a
meeting last Friday afternoon, when it
was decided to eliminate all rccommen
dations for increases in salary with the
single exception Of that of City Health
Commissioner S. G.. Paul. 1t will rec
ommend that his salary be increased
from $1,000 to $4,000 year.
The board was of the opinion that
1T would be better to let the council
wrestle with the salary question. in
that any action the board might take
would merely be in the form OF rec
salary question from the budget will
likely do away with considerable dis
cussion on the budget, as several OF the
councilmen expressed themselves as be-
ing against some OF the recommends
tons in this line which the board first
decided to make.
Will Consume Much Time.
The consideration of the budget,
however, Will take up the greater part
Of the time. Of the council this evening,
a number of the councilmen having ex.
pressed their desires of going over the
matter thoroughly. According to the
budget as prepared, it will take $l,326,-
640.2S to run the city during the cur.
rent year. The total revenue will
amount 70 81, ,462, ,s3092. leaving an esti'
mated surplus of Sl36 190.64.
The transfer of the Mendarich saloon
license from 80. North Third West to
AL West Second South is scheduled to
come up for consideration, The coun
cilmen from the Second ward are
strongly opposed to the transfer. and
there promises to be a warm discussi on
regarding the matter. The license con-
mittee visited the place Of the proposed
transfer last Thursday night.
Councilman Mckinney will introduce
resolution tonight favoring the en-
actment by the legislature of a bill
providing for the publication of contri
buttons for all public election cam
paigns before the election. McKin
ney takes the stand that the public
should be cognizant of the source OF
the campaign funds of the various par
ties before it votes for any OF the
tickets.
Another resolution will be introduced
by Councilman Mckinney indorsing thc
Sunday closing of the postoffice carrier
department.

MONEY AVID MARRIAGE
THEME Of MINISTER
Rev. Mr.. Short Discusses Mat
ter of Interest TO All
Mankind.

Money and marriage was entertain
ingly discussed by Rev. Francis Bur
gette Short in the prelude to his ser
mon at the First Methodist church
Sunday evening, Rev. Mr.. Short said
in part:
Among thoughtful people. the question
OF money frequently enters into the con-
slderation OF matrimony. This Is both
wise and we'll. Not that an abundance
of money is necessary 10 a life OF happi-
ness. but some money is necessary. Love
in a cottage Is poetic, and Il could i've
happy" sometimes possesses good wom-
ans heart, but married folks can be Just
as happy In a large house, and they can
be a great deal happier with good
square meal than they can on just bread
and water.
Just how much money a man should
have before he gets married largely de-
pends upon where he is going TO live, and
what he is going to do, and what he eI-
poets his family TO be and become. Gen
orally speaking. ] should say that man
ought TO have enough money 10 buy his
license and To pay the minister, and to
rent a house. This Implies that he is not
wealthy and that he has good health and
a steady job II he has health and work
and marries a good woman, the question
OF money Will pretty well take care OF
Itself. The greater problem for young
married people to consider is. how 10
spend the money they receive after they
are married.
No specific amount can be fixed upon
for a man to have before he marries.
His own judgment. providing a. man has
any judgment about the time he is get
ting married. must and will cause him TO
that he loves sufficiently TO ask to share
his lot In life.
