ward Big Increase Over

ing to announcement Of Mary A. Meyers,

culosis cases in Marion County, and many
other phases Of health work are consid-
cred responsible for the rush of contribu-
tons

Credit conditions are improving.
Money for agricultural purposes is avail

annual meeting Of the association at the
Claypool Hotel.
He continued by saying that much
remains to be accomplished. and it Is
unlikely that any business revival on a
large scale will occur soon; the founda-
tion is being laid, and instead Of being
time for pessmism. it is one for conf

SHANK TOGIVE
RECEPTION AT
INAUGURATION
Mayor-Elect Sends Word of
Plans for Party at
Marion Club.
TO TRIM CITY BUDGET

Dispatches received today from Mayor
Elect Samuel Lewis Shank, who is vaca-
tioning at Hot Springs. Ark, said that
he probably will hold q reception at the
Marion Club on Jan. >. the day of his in
auguration, and will call meeting of the
men and women he has appointed as de
partment heads in the city council Thurs
day, Dec. 10.
The mayor-elect wired that he Intends,
IL possible both to be sworn in and r.
ceive the public at the Marion Club, but
It was thought by municipal leaders that
he finally will adhere to the established
custom of holding the inaugural cere-
monies at the city hall. The plan for
reception afterwards at the Marion Club
met with no opposition.
Taylor Groninger. appOintee of Mr..
Shank for corporation counsel, who is
informally representing the mayor elect
during his absence, said that a prelimi-
nary discussion of problems facing the
new administration will take place at the
Dec. Is conference. The discussion likely
will center around plans for an imme-
diate reduction of the expense of munich
pal government, Mr.. GrOninEer believes.
He said that he has been studying the
city budget for 1922, which was adopted
by the present administration in Septem-
ton, and believes he can point out
number of places where economy can be
effected. He said he mentioned this in
no spirit Of criticism Of the present ad-
ministration, however.
One Of the items which Mr.. Groninger
believes can be reduced is the help on
the public Fairgrounds He said he had
discovered in the budget that provision
had been made for paying next summer
as many as four instructors. two matrOns
and 4 custodian for each playground.
Il think that expense can be cut in
two without injuring the efficiency Of
the playground organization he said.
Every department head will be in
structed to take an invoice of the per
sonnet and materials in his department
with a view to seeing how much can be
dispensed with" said the corporation
people can be cut off Of the city pay
roll and put into pursuits where there
is real work to be done. As the Daily
Times said edito,laliy the other dav.
'lOafing on the job is an economic
crime"
In order that the incoming administra-
ton may Rnow just what it is responsible
for. a complete invoice Of materials and
equipment on hand will be asked of the
present administration just before the
government changes hands. Mr.. GrOnin-
ger said The new department heads will
be instructed to carefully check these
invoices. he said.
Mr. GrOninger also said that he is
writing to Mr.. Shank the suggestion that
City COuncilmen Russell Wilson. Gustav
G. Schmidt and Jesse Z. Miller be added
TO the street car rerouting committee,
which is studying the downtown street
railway traffic. problem under Chairman
Frederic NJ Ayres. The councilmen have
given much study to the problem and
their knowledge would be valuable TO
the committee. Mr.. Groninger said.
