TAKE Up JUNE:
BUDGET TONIGHT.
Board of Aldermen Will Meet
Tonight to Act on the
Figures.
HARB0R APPROPRIATIONS?

Figures for the June budget will
be discussed by members of the
Board of Aldermen at their commit
tee session, to follow a special meet
ing in city hall tonight. 1t is not be-
neVed that decisions will be reached
so that the figures can be introduced
on Monday night. According to the
city fathers, the subject has received
but little attention to date. One al
derman stated today that there would
probably be several meetings before
the subject was finally disposed of.
The inclination is to keep the
amounts down to the lowest figure
possible, consistent with needs in the
city and with good work The esti-
mated need of $118,000 for repairing
and maintaining public schools, a
probable appropriation of $1,000 for
the Board of Harbor Commissioners
and $500 for a Fourth of July cele-
bration would bring the total amount
Of this year UP to nearly 100000.
Additions may be made to some of
the appropriations made in the De-
cember budget last year. This could
not be said with any degree of GER
t6inty at this time, 1t was stated
among members of the board today,
as they had held no meetings rela-
tive to the subject. 1t will most
likely be discussed at length tonight,
again on Monday night and then laid
over for consideration at a future
meeting.
Some of the amounts placed in the
December budget were considered
small at that time. When complaint
was made, it was stated that there
would be ample opportunity to aug
ment the appropriations by means of
the June budget. One of those items
was the fire appropriation, which was
fixed at $25, 900 F. A Seaman
maintained at the time that $4,000
was necessary.
No appropriation was allowed for
the harbor board and an attempt by
Mr.. Seaman to procure a sum for
that department, caused much wrang-
ling. Public sentiment rose in fav-
or of the harbor department and a
sum was set aside for the use of the
board. Indications are that $1,000
will be appropriated for this depart
ment. 1t is believed that $500 will
be appropriated to aid in giving a
safe and sane celebration on July 4.
II such action is not taken, the
amount may be drawn from the con-
tingent account. Members of the
harbor board will probably appear
before the aldermen tonight to urge
the appropriation of an adequate
sum for their use.
Efforts to decide upon an appro-
priation for the repairing, operation
and maintenance Of public schools
and the manual training department,
will be made at an adjourned meet
ing of the Board of School Estimate.
to be held at 1880 o'clock tonight.
The board met on Wednesday night,
but decided to defer action, pending
the outcome of action concerning the
June budget. The total amount of
money appropriated for the various
municipal department IN December
was $1771, $50, which was about
$12, 900 larger than the combined
December and June budgets for run
ming the city in 1913.
