COUNTY BOARD
PLANS BUDGET
Of NEXT YEAR

County commissioners held an
all-day session yesterday figuring
the financial needs of the county
for the coming year. Indications
are that the tax levy will be some
what smaller than this year, due to
a number of cuts, decreased prices
of materials and labor and to
greater valuation.
The city levy was cut three
fourths of a mill by the city com,
missioners at their meeting We'd
nesday night. The greater part of
the city cut took place in the sink
ing fund requirement. The city
levy for next year will be .009S2
mills as against this years levy of
.010573 mills.
The meeting Of the county COM
missioners was adjourned at 10
o'clock this morning. 1t is posi-
BILE that they will complete the
computations of the requirements
today.

AID To JUVENILE:
DEL|NQUENTS IS
R0TAR|AN T0P|C
Luncheon Given Over to Dis
cusSion of Ways to Help
Under Privileged Youths
in City.

The boy problem received an air
ing at the noon lucheon of Rotary
yesterday. Judge M. E. Hickey
started the ball rolling with sug'
gestion that the Big Brother idea
should be applied in Albuquerque
and the Rotarians kept it moving
until a committee had been au-
thorized which is to work with
Judge Hickey in helping the boys
brought before his court Of juvenile
delinquency.
Judge Hickey stated the case OF
a boy who had lacked a home and
whom he had been forced to send
to the reform school simply be-
cause there was no other place to
stay. The Judge asked for the
names of Rotarians who would
help boys coming before his court
Later in the meeting Captain
Guest, head of the Salvation Army
work in Roswell, told Of the ways
in which the boy problem was be-
ing met there. His talk showed
that O. committee to work with
Judge Hickey could be of great
value. When he had finished a
motion was made, seconded and
carried that such committee
should be named. Its members
will be announced later.
Upon motion of Carl C. Magee a
committee was also named to see
whas could be done toward secur-
ing the transfer of Captain Guest
to Albuquerque. Max Nordhaus,
DR.. l.. S. Peters and DR.. j. d. Clark
were named for that purpose.
Victor Culberson. livestock man
from Silver City. gave a very en-
courag ing talk to the club. He in
sisted that the COW industry had
reached its bottom and that a re-
vival of business would follow
soon. He claimed that he knew of
innumerable loans which had been
made under the $50,000,000 live
stock pool and asserted his belief
that the agricultural credits bill
would aid the stockmen greatly.
During the last ten days | have
had more inquiries for steers than
l had in the previous ten months"
he added.
Congressman Nestor Montoya
talked briefly on the work of con-
gress. Bruno Dieckman, graduate
manager of athletics at the univer-
sity, invited the Rotarians out to
watch football practice. John w.
Upton of Ell Paso discussed bust
ness conditions, seeing in them
hope for improvement in the near
future.
