The Finance Committee will further
consider the proposed bond issue to
cover a number of needed improve
ments for the CITY, and may turn INTO
City Council another little budget.
The committee will recommend the
addition of twenty-five men to the
police force and the addition OF two
fire engine companies One OF tns
latter will be located in Hisniaho
Park, the other In Swansboro.
No salary increases will be recomi

wards have been offered Heretofore
these rewards have been equally d.
vfded between the officer and the Po-
lice Benevolent Association. The Po-
lice Board fund. derived from ffnes
In Police Court. Will be turned into the
city treasury.
Anticipating the merging Of the
Health Department with the other de-
partments under the Administrative
Board, the Finance Committee fails
to give the sum OF $4,000 additional
for expenses and enlargement OF the
Health Department, feeling that the
Administrative Board will provide for
that. Just $4,000 win be added to the
funds Of this department.
The Street Department will get
s3os.0o0. which is much less than was
asked for.
The committee hopes to have the
budget ready to present Comm on
Council next Monday night. Under
the rules no financial matter may be
acted upon within three days OF the

paper will, therefore, lay upon the
table. and President Peters may call
