RECOMMEND CUT
OF CITY BUDFET
Chamber of Commerce Com
mittee Would Lop Off $66-
900 From Expenses
PROPOSED AT LUNCHEON
Full Report Of Committee
Read---Council to Make De-
cision Next Week

That reduction of $4,000 be made
ON the city's financial budget for
1919. was the substance of the re-
port OF the chamber of commerce
committee appointed several weeks
ago to investigate the budget, and
which was read before the chamber
at its weekly luncheon Tuesday noon.
It was recommended that the re.
duction be made by loping of $10,.
600 from the fire department, $4,000
from the police department budget,
$4,000 from the total Of street i'm
provements; $4,000 from the water
department expenses and $1,735 from
the cost Of running the city free
employment agency. Other smaller
cuts were recommended to be made.
J. J. Carney, Chairman Of the COM
phasixed the fact that tn $4,000
warrant indebtedness which accumu-
lated during the past year should be
cared for in the way Of bond issue.
In reply to Mr.. Carney. J. w. Parks
said that the indebtedness had not
accumulated during the past year but
ran over q period OF several years.
Remarks in defense of the budget
were made by w. o. McCaw, chair
man Of the finance committee, City
Treasurer Roy Sargent Health Off,
Ger L. L. Goodnow and Rev. Charles
1sDsrmosA sosps Rf the public library
Following h the report:
"Your committee appointed to in.
vestigate the city budget for the year
1918. with q view to its reduction,
begs leave to report the following
findings and recommendations:
"At the outset 1t was apparent that
to raise the amount of the budget by
direct taxes would require levy OF
29.l mills, and would make the total
levy for Aberdeen nearly 62 mills, a
SUM that would not only be burden
some, but would place q very serious
obDtacle in the path Of the city's pro
grees.
I'VE found that owing to extra
ordinary circumstances, and to the
purchase of much necessary equip
ment Of q permanent nature, the bud
get for the present year has been
overdrawn nearly $144.0OO, which. ac-
cording to the budget under investi
cation 1t was proposed to pay off in
the coming year. At conference with
the city authorities yesterday, it was
tentatively agreed to forego that plan
and raise this sum, together with
funds for other needed improvements
Of Z permanent nature by an issue OF
long time bonds at q low rate Of in
terest. thereby dividing the cost with
those who come in the future and who
win reap equal benefits. a course
your committee heartily recommends
"This plan would enable the city
council to place the city levy at Ii
mills, making the total levy Of city,
county and state purposes approx
mately ~ mills. The levy Of Is mills
will raise about $4,000, which, with
certain reductions in the budget and
the bond issue referred to should be
amply sufficient to carry the city over
the coming year.
"Your committee believes the fol-
lowing reductions can be made in the
published budget without seriously
impairing the efficiency Of the ad'
rnin{otpafinn.

ELECTRIC MOTOR ON THE FARM

Wherever electric power is avail
able, the electric motor is ideal for
driving farm machinery. 1t is ideal
because il is simple and strong in
construction, easy to operate and
very reliable in service. OF the many
phase induction motor is the most
simple in construction and should
be used If possible. To start the
motor all that is necessary is to
close the switch or throw over the
starting handle and the motor comes
up to speed almost instantly. Day
or night. hot or cold weather. high
or low altitude. the electric motor
is always ready for instant use,
and capable of delivering its rated
horse power.
For these reaosns, the use OF the
electric motor on the farm is rap
idly increasing. There are mwny
large farms in the United States
using electricity for light and power.
One of the largest of these is the
5. l 60-acre farm of w. II. Miner
Chazy, New York. On this farm are
two hydro-electric plants deliver
ing electricity to twenty-five motors,
in sizes from one-half to twenty
five horsepower. Electric motors
are used in the dairy. grist mill. Ice
plant. ETC., in met wherever a motor

where an electric motor is doing
the work of one or more men.
AS the great water powers and
coal fields of this and adjoining
states are developed, electric power
lines will be within the reach of
the great majority of farms. The
Northern Colorado Power Co. has
already extended its lines SO as to
serve farms within it's territory
According to a statement recently
pub ished by. C. H. Williams, gen.
eral manager of the company, there
were fifty-seven electrically driven
pumping plants delivering water
tor irrigation connected to this sys-
TEN in 1910. Many of these rural
patrons use electric light in the
farm buildings and use the electric
motor for other purposes than pump
ing.
Where the lines of a large power
company are within reasonable dis
lance it is best to buy electric pow
Ell from the large company. Where
this cannot be done it is entirely
possible to install private power
plant If water power is to be had
it may be used to drive the electric
generator. If water power is not
available, a gasoline engine gener-
ator set combined with a storage
battery makes a very satisfactory
plant. These complete power plants
are now on the market at reason
able price and are very satisfactory.
