WHEN WILL RETRENCHING
START BY THE CITY?

Some time ago there was much
noise going the rounds about starting
retrenchment on all lines in the Iua-
ming of the city. A man was elected
mayor, who, everybody believed was
in sympathy with the idea of reducing
salaries, and, the vote of the people at
the time showed that five to one were
infavor of salary reduction.
We have been asked when this re-
duction would be put in force and eff
fect--hence, we ask the same question.
