CLOE PLANNING ID
 RTA|LEXPENSES
Commissioner Says to Cut Force Would Be Serious
 Undertaking

Drastic measures are under consid- eration by Commissioner W. B. Cloe of the public safety department to bring the department within the bud get allowance which is now more than $1,0oO in excess.
 Whether the ax will fall on the heads of police and firemen will not be determined until plans now being worked out have been completed. MT. Cloe intimated, however, that some means will necessarily be made to curtail the expenditure of his de- partment.
 Plans have been suggested by police and firemen alike to accept six-day week instead of a seven-day week with a per diem allowance. which would reduce expenses of the depart ment more than s6,000 monthly. How ever, the commissioner announced that he believed the plan unfair, but appreciated the attitude and spirit of cooperation existing between his men.
 The trouble with this suggestion is that the men are not overpaid now and reduction of $25 to $50 per per month in their salaries. although their spirit of cooperation is com mendable, would nevertheless work hardships on them and their families.
 Tt is believed that with their plan as suggested, the budget allowance already shown in excess would be made up in about three months, but l do not think this the best thing to do.
 "on the other hand, the depart ment is not overloaded in personnel and just what reductions in force, if any is made, cannot yet be determined I have studied over the matter very much and have not yet reached a de- cision, but I do know that to cut the police or fire department would be a serious undertaking"
 The safety department head ex. planed how his office is required to feed and keep city conyicts which mounts into thousands of dollars monthly and labor deprived through their services Is credited to the street department.
 T believe the old system is wrong and that each department should ge; from that department just what is put into it. In other words. the steetr depar tment should pay for the serv- ices of city convicts that the safety department clothes, houses and ] feeds"
 Just what steps will be taken tc curtail the expenses of the public i safety department will not be knowr until the final decision is reached in ! the retrenchment policy announced which will probably be by March 1, or the next meeting Of the city commis- 1 sion on the day preceding.
