TO TAKE UP CITY
BUDGET ON THURSDAY

All members of the mayors cabinet
are especially requested to attend the
meeting to De held next Thursday as
discussion of the budget for the COM
ing year will be taken up, according
to Mayor Handley, Friday.
Some effort will be made to pro-
vide against the drawing of money
ahead of tax collections, said the may
or. For some time past, according to
him, the unforeseen expenses incurred
by the city have resulted in forcing
city officials to draw money from the
county treasurer before that money
has been turned in, in the form Of
taxes. A special bond issue to cover
the cost of permanent improvements
which have been causing this practice
may be required to bring the city up
with a clean slate, and start it out
squarely on the new year.
Last years budget was cut to the
bone, and although departments did
their best, unforeseen expenses con-
stantly forced them to exceed the
sum-" the mayor said.

mony to hard usage.
Steve acted as spokesman for the
others. He said his father and mother
were dead, that they had been living
at the home of their brother-in-law
but that he beat up" on the youngest
boy, Charles, and that they left be
