LOCAL PHOTOGRAPHERS
FEEL EFFECT OF WAR
Chemicals Used in Making Pic
lures Have Risen Nearly
100 Per Cent in Cost.

South Bend photographers are feel
ing the effect of the European war
through the increase in the cost of
many of the materials which they are
compelled to use in their business.
Much of this material is manufactured
eit er wholly or in the raw in Ger
many and France, and with the cessa-
ton of trade with the two countries
it is impossible to secure these com
mOditieS.
Chemicals used in photography have
jumped from so to 100 per cent and
more, and the big wholesale dealers
in the east have sent out word to their
patrons that they cannot furnish them
with large amounts and that they can
not quote prices at this time. The
purchaser must pay the price asked
at the time and the material Is bought
as the cost will fiuctuate. If the war
continues for many months it is feared
that photographers in this country
will be unable to secure many of the
essential materials in their business.
Developer Increases.
MetOl, an important factor in de-
veloping, has increased from IS to SIS
per pound, and the wholesale dealers
refused TO sell one South Bend pho
tographer more than four ounces this
week. Citric acid, product JADE
largely in Germany, has jumped from
So cents to SIPS and more within the
last few days. Hydroquinone has also
increased in cost.
Whether there will be a shortage of
photographers paper is unknown as
yet, as none of the South Bend deal
erSe have received motive regarding
the supply on hand. This paper, on
which the majority of pictures are
printed. is made in Germany. and it
IS probable that the price will take a
decided increase in the near future.
The cost of plates, which are made
in France, has also been raised as
result of the war, but this problem
can be solved by the use of American
made plates according to some pho
tOgra pliers

$4,000 CUT OFF
BUDGET BY MAYOR
AND CONTROLLER
Works and Safety Board Re-
quests Suffer From Execu-
tiVe'S Blue PenCiI-0nIy Four
New PartOImen to be Asked.

After giving the budget Of appropri-
atoms presented them at a special
meeting OF the heads OF the various
municipal departments OF the city
hall Tuesday afternoon due considera-
ton. Mayor Fred w. Keller and CITY
Controller T.. O.. Manning have decided
that the departments have asked for
too much money. More than $4,000
VIII be clipped of the total Of the diff
ferent departments requests.
The city Will be given only four new
policemen instead Of five. as asked by
the board OF public safety. and none
OF these viii be used as a motorcycle
officer. The request for an appropri-
alton with which 70 purchase a motor
cycle was turned down, as was the re-
Quested appropriation Of 50, 600 for a.
nigh power water pressure pump for
the fire department The latter re-
quest will be taken up later, however,
70 was said in the controllers office
Wednesday morning
The fact that the appropriation re-
quests have come a month early this
year" said Mr.. Manning Wednesday
morning, makes it difficult TO see just
how much the various appropriations
viii have To be averaged TO match with
the receipts of the departments. We
are cutting the funds asked as much
as possible in every case 10 insure
those that are granted being small
enough to match with the receipts
held for use In that department"
Cut Nearly $4,000.
The board OF works appropriation
was cut from S149,520 TO $4,000.
The largest cut in this department was
given a request for nearly $4,000 TO
meet the expense of purchasing the
rights TO the water used by the city
The board of safety's request for
S159,3S4 was cut to S145,SO6. the
largest item refused being the request
for $4,000 for the fire departments
pressure pump. The lowering Of the
number Of new policemen asked also
materially 1essened the appropriation.
A special meeting OF the ways and
means committee OF the cty council
viii be held at the city hall Thursday
night by which time the budget will
have been revised completely by the
mayor and the controller. The com
mittee on ways and means is com
posed of NJ. \. Buechner, A. L. Miller
and A. s. Seifert These men will APP
prove whatever portions OF the budget
they choose and the whole affair Will
be turned over TO the city council for
final disposition
An early meeting of the city coun-
Gil Will probably be held to pass on
the proposals, it was said Wednesday
morning. Mayor Keller and City Con-
troller Manning are DESTROYS of hav-
ing the appropriations settled as soon
as possible, owing 10 the fact that re-
ceipts and expenditures that will have
bearing upon the final granting or re-
fusal Of the sums asked are still piling
up in the books OF the controllers Of
