REDUCE BUDGETS OR
INCREASE TAX RATE
Not Vet Decided What Amounts
Will be Carried in Appropria-
ton Bill.

There was no formal meeting last night
of the finance committee of Council, nor
wns there meeting of Council IN COM
mittce of the whole. The members had
other engagements, most of them. and did
not put in an appearance at the Public
Building.
some Of the members of the finance
committee were on hand early IN the
e,-onino and gave another look at the
crure,. tentatively agreed on for the
rayinus departments of the city govern
mcnt
h was hoped by the finance committee
that It would he able to make reductions
in the amounts asked for by the various
city departments so that the total amount
to be provided for in the bill TO be pre-
sented tonight would come within the
citv's estimated revenues of about $50
600 The various departments had asked
for amounts totaling about 3,0OO.OOo.
and this had TO be cut down about SOU
600 or else the tax rate would have TO be
increased in order to raise that much more
money.
It cannot be said that the committee
has come to any definite conclusion IN
regard to the appropriations. There will
have 10 be some further changes before
the amounts carried by the bill will come
within the revenues of the city, and 1t IS
likely that the members of finance COM
mjttee will have some further discussion
this afternoon 1t may be that the whole
matter will be threshed out III regular
meeting of Council.
1t is within the range of possibilities that
the bill as presented to Council tonight
NAV not come within the estimated
revenues. and that it will be necessary to
provide for some increase in the tax rate.
1t is said that about $500, 600 has been
cut from the amount originally asked by
the Board of Education. Just what other
cuts have been made remains to be seen.
About S350,000 viii have to come from
the other departments estimates OF their
needs.
Provision for funds for the increase of
salaries OF clerks had been asked by several
departments, and the committee mas
found it necessary to strike out these, 1t
is said.
The police department will probably
get the full amoundt aske for, which IS
$3.50. 900, an increase of $4,000 over the
1919 appropriation. The increase will
probably be used to inaugurate the eight
hour three-platoon system, and this, It IS
believed. would make it possible for the
department to get desirable recruits for
the forces, which IS now short more than
twenty men.
Just what proportion of the amount TO
he set aside for Street and Sewer Depart
ment will be available TOR the beginning
Of work on the Brandywine sewer is not
known. The Street and Sewer Depart
ment has about 500. 900 available for this
sewer, but it would not be worth while
to begin work on such big project with
ont more funds being available for the
work

If, say tomorrow, you would eat
80 per cent of what you usually do,

wouldn't the lack of the food, whether
it was meat, butter or desert or an
ice cream soda, be rather pleasant

yourself, you were actually giving a

Milk still is not to be had. This
means that practically every child and
every person in the city sits down to
breakfast of tea CASUALLY made with
blackberry leaves and in most cases
without sugar or milk and apiece
of dry, sour black bread. For dinner
they may have beans or potatoes and
for supper black war coffee and
bread. When children have had this
food for about three years you can
imagine the condition they are in.

children for one day?
