EXPECT ORANGE BUDGET
TO RUN UP TO $330,OOO


At a meeting of the finance COM
mittee of the Orange Comfon Council
last night the tax budget for the COM
ing fiscal year was discussed, and 1t
is likely the figures will show a
material advance over those of last
year, which totaled about $29S, 900.
The advance probably will bring the
new figure up to 1880, 900. and the
committee will arrange for a special
meeting of the Common Council for
Friday night,tJune 81, to which the
various department heads will be in
vited for a discussion of their APP
preparations. The principal advances
are in interest charges, owing to the
heavy demands for retiring floating
debts and other obligations, the
Board of Educators money, the
new Fairgrounds item, a deficit of
$4,000 from the old poor n aims
department. and a shortage in tax
moneys due to County Tax Board
reductions. The itefs will be thor
oughly analysed at the special coun-
ell session. The officials are anxious
to keep the total as low as possible.

commissioners. AS a result of the
drawing Mr.. Thorne was awarded the
