City Council Considers
Budget for Coming Year;
Some Departments Cut

The watch dogs Of the city treas
ury were on the job at the meeting oi
the city council last evening and tht
proposed budget ffor the year 1915
went through considerable repairing.
After an Interesting session of three
hours or more with the hatchet being
applied to quite number Of the items
IN the badget, it was found that the
clty fathers had succeeded in topping
Off OF the expenses Of this year the
sum Of $l3,265. For the year 1917 the
budget was $l67 900 with a IA mills
tax levy For the year 1918 the propos.
ed budget figures up $154.335 which
VIII propably make the tax levy about
ll212 mills.
Some of the Items
During the reading of the 1918 bud
get by separate items, things developed
as follows:
Inc annual salary of Recorder Race
Of $1,000 passed without any discussion
The budget for $1740 for clerk Hlre
in the city recorders office was final
ly passed but McClelland wanted $fA1
taken off. Mayor Keyes supported Nc
Clelland. Rigdon and Roberts thought
the clerk in the recorder s office and
the stenogTapher were entitled to q
raise. Recorder Race said his office was
now being run at less expense than
at any time during the past 12 years
and that he had nothing to do with
king the salaries of his clerks They
got the raise.
The city treasurer IS salary was rails
ed from $1,000 a year to $1,000. MeClel-
land who ordinarily was against in
creases of salaries, thought the treas
urer was entitled to more than a cl&,k
and that the present incumbent was
doing more work than his predecessor
who got $I600
Officials Get No Raise
City Attorney b. NJ Macy was Gown
on the proposed budget for raise of
$500 a year, but by the time this item
was reached, the pruning knife Of sew
eral aldermen was in fine working
condition. Hence Mr.. Macy win have
to manage to get along with the salary
of this year 1920, although Rigdon
stood out for an increase Of at least
$40 q month, Mayor Keyes at this
time made note of the fact that when
he held the job, it paid $75 month
with the munifieent sum Of $40 al
lowa9ce month for stenographer.

III $500 was cut off, he thought tht
rooms would be in pretty bad shape a.
the roof was leaking and when it real
~ rained, it was necessary to stand
buckets around and to place oil cloth
over the shelves of books. Just as
things looked pretty gloomy, Simeral
came to the rescue and proposed that
the library budget be held over uiitlI
the meeting of Nov. 80. Hence it is
sr1ll on the budget at $500. iTcClel.
land said there was no use in buyino
war books and would not be for sew,
eral years, as even now the true his.
tory of the Civil war had never been
written.
Other Departments
incidental expenses at $4,000 were al,
lowed to stand although several alder
men thought the words F'incidental
expenses might cover multitude of
sins and tranferring of accounts.
For street cleaning, $1,000 was chop
PED Off, leaving the budget at $4,000.
Mayor Reyes approved and Ward
thought the city had some pretty dir
ty streets.
Inc street cleaning department was
soldering on the job and using too
much money, according to several city
fathers. In fact, the horses on the
work moved SO slow that it was pro-
posed that the city buy trucks. Ward
thought more money was wasted in
the street department than in any 9th
er work of the city. However, the bud
get stood at $11 800 which is several
thousand less than this year.
Sewers Fund Reduced
Sewer construction played in hard
luck. This year the budget was for $S,
ooo. just to do the right thing, the
sewer committee said it could get
along. with $4,000. Mayor Keyes
thought that as long as the dhopping
was good, to continue and he proposed
taat 1t be cut in half again, allowing
$1,000 for sewer construction for 1918.
Roberts thought this was on the dan
SET line and finally secured $300s for
this work
Concerts and Fairgrounds
Nothing is in the proposed budget
for band concerts or for the children s
play grounds. Ward thought about 500
a concert was paying too much but
was willing if the figure was about
700. He thought the concerts this year
were second grade. If the band con
