The Pittsburgh Gazette Times is
stirring up things at Pittsburgh over
! the big deficit the city is facing. The
council chopped over $4,000 from the
budget for 1915 in one day. There
might be some good reading matter
an the Gazette Times for the COM
nissioners OF Tairmont. But, perhaps
they. have become so accustomed to
facing a deficit that they would feel
lonely without its company. Pitts
