A Record.Brcakinc Budcet

MAYOR A1NSIIE has labored assiduously
1FA over his budget and he has failed TO
bring Richmond's estimated expenditures for
1920 within the estimated revenues for the
same period. The margin by which he has
failed reaches the rather startling total OF
Sl,6o4,076. The Mayors failure to make
the municipal ends meet on the present basis
Of revenue was expected, but the public was
not prepared for the figures he presents The
budget, the largest in the history OF the CITY
calls for the expenditure OF s6,S67,S5345.
while revenues Of only $5,213,777.45 are in
sight. This means, as the Mayor submits
that to meet the threatened deficit, S110
must be added TO the present tax rate on
real and tangible personal property provided
other sources OF revenue remain the same
Either that, or the city must go deeper end
deeper into debt, borrowing money from The
banks to tide it over every emergency That
IS bad business and should have been stopped
long ago
Richmond has been warned time and again

Ihe Mayor recommends an increase OF less
than 10 per cent, the benefits to be based on
department merits. That certainly does not
seem excessive. An increase OF 10 Der cent
is recommended Tor teachers in the public
schools. Again the figure is extremely
modest. Jhe teachers arc deserving and
