the Job fast year and produced very
good results. His task Is not an
easy one. In his role as supervisor
OF tbe estimates he must exercise
extreme care and judgment. II is
up to him to suggest possible cuts
and at the same time TO steer the
knife-wielders away from other
items.
Aid. Kronk voiced the attitude of
the claims and accounts committee
on the school budget. Friday, when
he bluntly suggested that the items
over which there was division OF
opinion be passed over to the esti.
majors for disposal.
nix on that kind OF talk" said
the controller. "You fellows want
to do your work now. and let the es-
timators do their work later. You
must remember that the budget Is Q
large one and a great deal OF cutting
will be necessary to get a reason
able tax rate"
Obedient to the urgings OF the
controller. the committee members
commenced TO cut items In the
maintenance fund BY constant ef-
fort the controller, through the com.
mittee, was able to show a substan-
tial cut. Engei repeatedly challens
ed statements made by A. e. Stew.

aldermen were able to slash every
time the controller cornered the SUI
pervisor in an argument. Secretary
Charles A. Gadd had better success
before the committee. supt. Chad

little part IN the discussion.
Controller Engel has made a study
Of the needs of every city depart
ment. He Is conversant with their
methods OF buying as fell as their
individual systems Of doing business.
