Jould take the, position that the Re-

applies to sugar. -
"As the reduction in the tariff on

Prof. II. E. Simpson states that a
big frost is possible when the mer-
curry reaches 36 or 81 above. but the
dampness on the ground and vegeta-

There was no rain Sunday. Monday
.16 inches fell and yesterday the rain

along the way; irunning about 120
miles each day. Che party also stop

Mr.. Robertson and his family have
been in Grand Forks visiting his son,
Frank of 801 Chestnut street. for some

The Sarles family is now at Maple
Lake, and will come here as soon as
the summer season is over at the lake.
Mrs. William Spriggs and family
will remain in the city. and it is
probable that they will occupy apart
ments in the Spriggs flats on North
Fourth street.
One of the chief reasons for the
Sarles family coming here is the edu-
cational advantages in the city. Duane
and Doris Sarles will enter the state
university next month as freshmen.
Eleanor Sarles will enter the model
high school.
The fact that he and his family
will reside here during the winter will
not interfere with Mr.. Sarles' business

BUDGET DEMANDS
ARE PRESENTED
When Council Makes Cuts,
Expected that Necessary
Levy will be Same.
SOME DIVISIONS
ASK FOR INCREASE
Contemplated Improvement
and Additions Require
Greater Outlay.

Judging from the amount asked by
the various city departments for the
years work and the anticipated rev.
erue. the Grand Forks tax levy will
be practically the same as last year.
The department heads are asking
of s159,145, while the anticipated
revenue is $77,145. This will leave a
total levy of $4,000.
The levy last year was approximate
ly $4,000. After the council slices
the various amounts asked for. the
levy this year will be considerably less
than that, but the difference will be
It Is expected. The levy will not go
above that amount. however.
Most Ask Same Amount.
The majority of the department
heads ask the same appropriation as
made last year. Several have asked
for amounts considerably less, while
others made acquisitions for appro-
priations a great deal larger. The in
creased amounts are all for making
improvements to increase the efficiency
of the departments. 1t is expected.
however, that the council will cut a
number of the amounts demanded.
The water department has asked for
$500 to repair the intake pipe, which
was not done last year. and for $125
to purchase an electric hoist.
The bridge department requisition
Is considerably larger. 1t includes an
additional $4,000 for the construction
Of an ice-break near the Minnesota
avenue bridge.
The light department asks for ST.
500 to purchase a new centrifugal
pump and $500 to purchase a new
coal elevator.
Health Department.
The health department requisition
includes $1,000 for the purchase of a
three unit incinerator. A one-unit
incinerator, which. it is estimated,
will do for a city Of 5000 population,
is being tested out. The purchase
Of this requires an outlay Of $1,000.
If 1t is necessary to purchase three
unit incinerator. which. it is believed,
is necessary to care for city the size
of Grand Forks, an outlay of 800
is needed.
The fire department asks for $500
to purchase a new team and 500
to purchase an exercise wagon.
Bigger Salaries.
The additional amount asked by the
police department is based on the in
