the present income of the State is no
more than is necessary for proper
administration of the needs of the
State and of it's various departments,
and for a desirable payment upon the
States indebtedness, and I am salts
fed that you will resist all suggestion
for extravagant appropriations and
any unnecessary expenditure of the

MUCH BUSINESS
BEFORE COUNCIL
!. this EVENING
Annual Budget and Audi
tors Report up for Read
ings Close Fiscal Year.

Bringing the fiscal year to a close,
the Grand Forks city council will meet
this evening. in the chambers of the
city hall to definitely fix the annual
appropriations for the various city de-
partments and present the budget or
dinance for the first reading.
City Auditor William H. Alexander
will read his annual report, covering
conditions in all city departments. The
completion of the report marks the
efficiency Of the auditors office, as 1t
will be given to the council for ap-
prevail just four days after the close
of the business year.
1t is expected that no little time
will be spent in bordering over the
department appropriations. Applica-
tons nave been made by nearly every
department head for increased appro-
p~riations, in order h a city employees
may be given a raise in salary to
correspond with the increase in living
expenses.
The preliminary estimates do not
grant the increase applied for. but it
Is certain that general changes in city
employees salaries will be effective
soon.
The appointment Of a city assessor
also will come before the aldermen
this evening and it Is believed that
Mayor Dinnie again will name Robert
Green. Mr.. Green's efficiency in the
past remains unquestioned and his ap-
pointment will meet with popular ap-
| proyal.
