FIND LIVINGSTON
 DIED IN ACCIDENT

That I,oy Woodruff Livingston. night superintendent of the Mccall Cotton company, came to his death as the result of accidently being COW cred with cotton seed which caused suffocation was the verdict of the coroner's jury at the inquest held yesterday afternoon by Coroner Henry J. Sullivan. The body Of Liv- ingston was found about F o'clock Tuesday night buried under several tons of cotton seed in the seed house of the Mccall plant. Seventh and Grant streets. Efforts to revive hin with a pulm0tor were futile.
 Frank Ayers. a feeder at the plant, said he was shove1ing cotton seed in the seed house alone when Living ston came in and they discussed the failure of the cotton seed to fall through the shute. Ayers said Liv- gone to another part of the plan-. Shortly later, Ayers began to shovel away the cotton seed at the foot i of the shute and discovered a man s l legs protruding from a hole in the shute. He called Oscar Livingston. brother. and several others and they dug away the cotton seed. dis closing the body of Livingston. Ayers said it might have been an hour after ! He laSi SAW l-iNluHStoH unlll the DO(ty
 was discovered. The body was erect
 and had been covered with probably 1 five or six tons of cotton seed,

 Atkinson. w. T. Fatherie and Henry l Williams, all employees of the plant I told of helping to take the body from
 the shute. They said the cotton seed in the Mccall plant was not piled
 in any different manner than in other plants. Livingston is thought tc have climbed up on the pile of cotror seed to push it into the shute. The l seed. it is thought. began to slide
 and he was thrown into the shrits and the avalanche of cotton seed buried him before he could extricatt | himself

CITY. BUDGET NOW
 BEING PREPARED

Preparation of the city budget for the 1921 fiscal year is now under way and will be presented to the city commission for ratification some time this month. it was officially an- nounced yesterday. Fixing of the city tax rate for the ensuing year will follow immediately.
 Heads of departments are hard at work preparing their budgets for the 12-month period. Decreases in some departments are anticipated, but these will be equalized, it is expect ed. by advances in others.
 City officials would not venture an opinion as to the probable tax rate for the next year. It will be inn
 possible to estimate the rate until
 budgets from the various depart ments have been compiled, they say.
 Economy will be practiced in all departments. it was stated. That is, economy will be practiced where it is compatible with good government and
 city development. In this connection 1 city officials pointed out the broad development program outlined for the next year or so. development pro-
 gram that is destined to make Phoe- nix one of the best cities in the 1 Southwest.
