TANDY'S YEAR BUDGET
1t Shows Saving of $4,000 on That
of Previous Year.

A saving of $4,000 over the allow
ance last year is shown in the budget
of W. G. Tandy. commissioner of streets
and walks, filed with Roy L. Bone, fl
nance commissioner This year Tandy
asks for $5s.6OO against $50. 900 allowed
last year. The saving is the result OF
careful figuring by the commissioner on
what will be needed this year and Is ex-
pected to be followed by the rest of the
commissioners when the city's total
budget is made up and a tax levy
made 1t is believed to be reasonably
certain that a decrease in the levy of
last year will be possible this year
The various items in the Tandy bud
get with the amount asked for each,
are as follows: Engineering depart
ment, salaries. supplies, etc, $1oe 600;
street department. $41 500; asphalt de-
partment, $500; repairs, 81, 900.
Tandy notes on his certification of
the budget that the figures show a de-
crease of $4,000 over last years allow
ance- The budgets of other commits
sioners are expected to be ready in the
next few days. or at least those of z.
NJ Newland and Roy L. Bone. Porter
is working on his budget and will COM
plete it soon. The uncertainty of the
fire chief as to the fire equipment that
will have TO be purchased this year is
delaying the mayors budget
