BUDGET SHOWS BOOST
Total of $5,736,744.34 Is
100000 Increase Over
1922 Expenditure.

Spirited opposition developed at n
special meeting Of the city council
called to receive the budget last
night, TO the 4-cent tax levy for the
sanitary commission. The flow Of ora.
toy was called forth by Councilman
Lloyd Claycombe's accusation OF the
sanitary commission of enormous ex-
travagance in the building of a gar
bage and sewage plants in West In
dianapolis.
IF the sanitary commission per.
sists in going ahead with their present
plans. l for one am in favor of re-
ducing their levy" Claycombe said.
L believe the State tax board would
lend a kindly ear TO our cause if we
presented the matter to them"
Charges Inefficiency
Councilman Heydon w. Buchanan.
in suppol ding Claycombe's statement.
said: The whole engineering STAFF
of the sanitary board is either very
inefficient or very negligent Never
has the engineering staff made an i'm

and I admire the nerve and stamina
Of Mr.. Elliott and Mr.. Cravens in
insisting on a new engineering stan.
However I believe that the old staff
must he gotten rid Of in order TO avoid
excessive expense
Buchanan's reference to the old
staff brought up the problem OF
cancelling the contract Of Charles r.
Hurd, engineer OF the board, calling
for a salary of $4,000 per year The
new engineer proposed will cost the
city $4,000 per year.
Seek Legislative Aid
Joseph L. Hogue. city controller
said the AGENT levy was the maximum
amount the commission was allowed
by law and that ne was informed that
it may be necessary for the sanitary
board to seek relief from the Legisla-
ture before the end of the year.
The city budget, as received by the
council. totaled s5.736,774. which is
an increase OF $500. 900 over that OF
this year. A public hearing Will be
