LATTA BOARD TO
REDUCE EXPENSE
OF MUNICH Atty
is PLEDGED TO REMAIN WITHIN
BUDGET WHICH CAN BE NO BIG
GER THAN IN 1921.
NEW CITY FATHERS ARE BUSY
Efforts Being Made to Prune Expens-
es to the Limit-Economy in the Ad'
ninistration Of the Affairs of City
viii Be Watchword.

/ From Wednesdays Daily HeraldJ
One OF the first acts of the newly
elected Latta board of mayor and al
dermen, after taking the reins of the
dity government from the retiring
Cherry board will be to make the bud
get for 1922.
To the initiated, the making OF a
budget may seem comparatively sim
pie matter, when the amount of the
revenue the city viii derive for taxes
is known, but those who have had to
figure ON the hundreds of items of ex-
pense know this is different. There
are hundreds of unforeseen expenses
and miscellaneous items which must
be figured into the budget The adj
vancing price Of materials and things
of that nature must be taken into CON
sideration, and those who have had
experience declare the making of the
budget for the annual expenditures is
a most complex matter.
Economy in the administration of
the affairs of the city must be the
watchWord OF the new board. 1t was
charged in the campaign that the Cher
ry board had exceeded the budget al
loWances made for the several depart
ments, and the Latta board pledged
itself to remain within the budget. The
budget made by the Cherry board at
the first Of the present year account
ed for practically all Of the visible
revenue OF the year, and still it is
charged that the appropriations made
to the several departments was not
enough to carry them through the
year, and necessarily there must be a
reduction of expenses II the pledge
made to the people is carried out. If
this reduction of expenses is great
enough it may be possible for the Lat
ia board to carry out still another
pledge, If possible d reduction Of the
tax rate"-these vexatious problems
are now receiving the attention of the
newly elected city fathers and it is
expected that by the time January s
arrives some solution will have been
reached.

officials believe that there VIII be a

Due to the extremely mild weather
wheat has made an Unusually fine
growth in the county this year Even
the late wheat has in many fields

anticipated from the freezes that are
probable during the remainder of the

According to County Agent Aber-

standing the warm weather, for they
are usually associated together. A
furgus growth in the roots Of he rye
has been causing anxiety with that
plant, according to the report of MI

gives evidence of lack of vitality and
dries up in the roots and lower leaves.
