 Publk, Work Held Up.
 The same time that the budget was less than a million dollars, the Board of Public Works had as much money to cxpend as we wish to allow for this year when cost of labor Is nearly double, and the cost of nearly all supplies are from 50 to 100 per cent higher than they were at that time. The increased expenses are due to no particular wastefulness or any degree of inefficiency, but to in creased expenses. and a staying of or payment of over drafts is simply caus- ing additional expense in interest and tendency to make the deficit higher as ii is put off from year to year.
 ''If our salaries and the prices for the materials the city requires were somewhere near on a normal basis, with our deficit out of the way, our city could be run comfortably on a 16 mill tax.
 The methods pursued for the last two years are. in my opinion. child s play-they do not remedy the con- ditions. they simply stave off from to- day until tomorrow: complicate ana make worse, instead of improving them"
