Woodward Fights
Anticipated Revenue.

He said he would oppose the appor-
riouing of any anticipated revenue, and
would demand that the apportionments
be based on the income for 1912.
Last year more than $500, 900 in reve-
nue. was anticipated. An equal amount
was expected to be included in the
budget This year. If this amount is not
allowed, the city win be able to make
but few special appropriations.
Asked If he did not realize that such
"a policy would take away all hope of an
. appropriation for a Lakewood park fair
Mr.. Woodward said he had never said
any $125,0O0 appropriation would be
made for such purpose next year. Ho
said it was up to the merchants TO first
subscribe for stock to the fair.
He said the increased revenue should
be spent only after it was received later
in the year. Anticipations were not
cash, he declared Mr.. Woodward said
he was opposed to continuing the ex-
clusion of the reporters from the ses-
sions Of the finance committee.

"The asphalt streets IN the center OF

look like they have had the smallpox.
THE principal trouble with the street
work Is that the officials have tried 70

Will Oppose
Moral Pledges.

Mr. Woodward said he would oppose
giving any more moral pledges that APP
preparations would he made.
His view is that the city has been
spending more than its income and
that # is time to quit and proceed only
on the safest Of financial programs
w. G.. Humphrey. councilman from
the Eighth ward and who is said to be
slated for the finance committee chair
manship, said he had had no indication
from Mr.. Woodward as to the appoint
ment.
All the aspirants to this place would
like to know who is TO be the man be-
cause of the immense amount of work
usually connected with it, But Mr.
Woodward's statement that there must
not be a tentative budget changes the
whole plan
The likelihood that a majority Of
council Will organize against Mr.
Woodward's budget strengthens the in
dicatiOns that the next apportionment
sheet win be made up by the whole
council instead Of few men or
course, the whole council has always
passed on the sheet, but a few men al
ways did the actual financing.
A merry scramble is likely and many
citizens and officials who have been
planning for weeks and months how
they would spend the money they ex-
pected to get viii be disappointed
II is quite possible for council to
stand by the precedent and anticipate
revenue despite Mr. Woodward's OBJ
Elections. Strong pressure for this ac-
ton will be brought to bear
