BUDGET ORDINANCE
REDUCES CITY EXPENSES

Advanced through second reading,
the ordinance fixing the budget of
expenditures of the city for the forth
coming year was heard by the city
commissioners yesterday afternoon
and it will now go on third and final
reading, probably one day this week
when a special meeting will be called.
1t will become operative early in Oc-
tober
When the present board of commits
ioners went into office, it was seen
that some retrenching would have to
be employed, and the city's pay sheet
was carefully scanned. The result is
that there will be some considerable
changes if the budget ordinance. as
it now stands, is accepted without
change. However, the measure has
been revised and amended so much
that it is believed, in its present
shape, it will be passed when the
commissioners get together, probably
about the middle of the week.
From comparison with the budget
of last year, the 1917-18 measure cuts
off a total of $37 7,272.90, making the
total expenditures for the forthcom,
ing fiscal year of $269, ,697.6O, whild
that of the preceding year was $780,
970.50.
A number Of the departments ara
deprived of men, and the police forca
is cut to some extent, it is said, to-
tai of half a dozen men being unpro-
vided for. The water and street de%
partments are also given some little
retrenchment

ers J. S. Bitch, in. which bill the
complainant seeks to enjoin the comp
troller from issuing warrants to the
other defedants for their salaries for
the quarter ending September 80,
1917, as state tax commissioners.
The bill sets forth that there is no
appropriation out of which such sala-
ries can be paid, as the last session
of the legislature failed to make any
appropriation for such expense; that
chapter $500, Acts 1913, creating the
tax commission is unconstitutional and
void, so far as seeks to make an ap-
preparation for the salaries and ex
pense for the state officers, and is
In direct conflict with section -, ar
