CITY COUNCIL NOTES

Monday evening, All were present ex-
cept Vogel who was out of the city.
The mayor vetoed the resolution ap-
propriating $500 for ten band con-
certs to keep the Marine band together.
His reasons were mainly that but
$1,000 for this purpose was in the
budget upon which this years taxes
were raised and that the city cannot
afford to spend $1,000 more when it
is facing a deficit of over 100000.
The chances are that this is the end of
the widely known band. No attempt
was made to override the veto.

card by "A vote of to 5. There were
