Will ACT on
1920 BUDGET TONIGHT

The common council will meet in
special session tonight to act on the
1920 budget, which has just been
completed by, the council committee
on finances. The ordinance providing
for increase in the real estate. per-
sonai property and license taxes will
also be received.
The budget calls for 36,123.S33.S9.
This Is $744z19.57 less than provided
in the mayors tentative budget
which asked for s6,S77.S52.4s. The
budget OF 1919 was $43s,620.57 lesa
than that for this year.
Increased salaries and the higher
cost of materials accounts for part
OF this sum.
The finance committee worked
long and hard over the 1920 budget
In an effort to cut the figures to the
narrowest margin. The revenue for
each department has been cut to the
bone, according to members OF the
committee. Special appropriations
received the greatest deduction, the
decrease being from $40O.644.S1 to
$55.ss495.
The budget was first made public
at special meeting Of the common
council last Thursday night. but nc
action could be taken at that time as
the Law requires that the paper lay
on the table at least three days be-
fore action. The budget will have
to lay on the table three more days
before the board of aldermen can
act on 1t.
That body is expected to be called
to receive the paper Friday night.

y. Moffett, business representative OF
the painters union, that the contrac-
tors entered into an agreement sew
eral months ago to work their men
eight hours a day, at stxty-five cents
an hour. This was accepted by the
Paperhangers and Painters union
Mr.. Moffett stated that the men who
were working on the Howftzers'
armory were in a non-union shop. but
that he would see that they secured
employment with the eight-hour men
of the union.
