CITY BUDGET FOR
next YEAR Will
RUN TO big sum

A lot Of routine matters viii come
I'D for discussion at the meeting OF
the board Of supervisors tonight.
Whether or not the matter Of the con-
tinuance or discontinuance OF the Of
flee OF City Purchasing Agent will be
acted upon has not yet been decided.
Both the majority and the minority
reports have been made TO the board
on this subject, the majority report
asking for the discoRtinuance OF the
office and the minority pleading TO
have the office continued. In the
meantime any city purchases that
may have to be made viii be attended
10 by the city clerk.
A report has been made by the
committee appointed to look into the
ACCESSIBILITY Of combining the offices
OF poi and milk inspectors having one
man take care of boin jobs. The re-
port is to the effect that one man
could not properly handle both in.
spections. -. ....-.
Milk and poi" the report says,
ARE TO the people OF this city two OF
the most important articles of diet,
and IL Is essential that both be pure.
Now, with the necessity for clean food
more than usually before the people.
there must be no let up on the insist
ence upon perfect sanitation where
both milk and poi are concerned"
The report will receive the attention
of the Board of Supervisors this
evening. H..
K. A. Mott.Smith, chairman OF the
ways and means committee, is busy
With the budget for next year. Al
though this budget does not have to
be prepared until December, in view
OF the increased demands that will
probably be made on the city funds,
SIR. Mott-Smith wants to get the re-
port in as early as possible. AS com.
pared with last year, the funds avail.
able will be considerably greater, but,
to offset this, the demands caused by
war conditions are likely to run the
general total up to figure far in ex-
cess OF anything the city has yet
known. The law requiring the city
and county to reimburse its employees
who are in the National Guard on &C.
tive duty to an amount that will equal
the deficit between their pay as a
National Guardsman and as county
employee will mean big additional
outlay il the guard is called into serv-
ice. At the same time, while the law
does not demand 1t, it would seem but
right and fair, so Mr.. Mott-Smith
thinks, to make the same sort of ar.
rangement with regard to any county
or city employe who might be drafted
into the regular army
These two items, with the increased
cost of labor and supplies, would
make 1t possible and highly prob.
able" said Mr.. Mott-Smith, that the
budget win call for q rather start.
lingly large sum, although it is yet
too early to make any positive state
ment to that effect"
Not taking into consideration the
allotment to National Guardsmen and
drafted employees OF the city and
county, the budget now calls for
100000. with an estimate OF sS60,000
as available income.

Five million dollars in Liberty loan
subscriptions is the aim of the local
bond committee. When the campaign
for subscribers was started the an
uouncement was made that $3,000,000
was to be the aim of the workers, but
1t Is now understood that the $4,000
600 is only the minimum figure. The
executive committee announces today
that the maximum amount they are
now working for is $5,000,0 900. The fig-
ures turned in yesterday brought the
subscriptions well over the $2.0oO,000
mark. The boy scouts have not yet
turned in their report, but 1t Is un.
officially understood that their sub
scriptions amount to nearly $4,000.
An announcement made yesterday
afternoon by the committee in regards
to the war revenue tax means a great
deal of corporations who desire to in
vest In Liberty loans. Undistributed
net income which is invested in the
second Liberty loan Is exempt from
taxation, and this means that the hold.
er of a bond actually receives a 4 per
cent interest. 49, -

istence, despite the fact that its work

"One hears much of the fact that
the printed work can never be as ef-
fectiye as the salesman,s personal and
ready appeal; that advertising is
necessarily limited in its capacity to
sell a possible prospect" says Mr..
Clark. This is. true-so true that ad-
vertising does not try so much to sell
as to interest and cause the reader to
inquire. But if advertising is limited
in this way it more than makes IT for
its limitation by the duration of its APP
peal. The printed word endures, and
our children may possibly be sold on
the advertisements which are being
run In our papers of today"
