Its Last Lap This Week

Chance to Earn Largo Rewards

Days.
Today begins the last week in
which readers OF tho Dispatch Pa
pers can realize financial benefit
from the delightful pastime of
solving the B-word puzzle. which
the Dispatch Papers have present
ed to them this month, and which,
as an amusement device. has taken
the community by storm.
There's so much fun involved in
discovering and listing all objects
shown In the puzzle picture, the
names OF which begin with "B,"
that even in these times, when
dollars are in demand, there is
chance that in the pursuit OF the
pleasure, the opportunity for pc

This should not be so, for there
are big awards awaiting the read

ACTION MAY BE TAKEN
ON PAPER WEDNESDAY
Deductions Make S4,044,44I
Available for General
Municipal Purposes.
Revenues From Virginia HALLWAY aud
Power Company Arc Much
Reduced.

The Mayors budget will be sub
mitted to Common Council at spc-
cial meeting tonight at S o'clock
Under the rules the document must
lie on the table three days before
final action may be taken. The route
OF the paper from the Mayor to
Council has been a devious and
stormy one. Before submitting the
document to the Finance Committee
the Mayor had repeated conferences
with members of his Advisory Board.
The wants" OF the directors for
the separate departments were many.
Mayor Ainssie had closely figured
the probable revenue and had cut the
wants to the very core. He reached
what he believed n happy medium.
and his final draft brought the cN-
penditures well within the estimated
revenue.
Finance Committee Docs Cutting.
But the Finance Committee was
called upon to provide for many ex-
traordinary appropriations. so that
body proceeded still further to cut
the budget as recommended by the
Mayor. so that in the final DISPOSE
ton Of the document the expen-
ditures would stnl remain within
the revenues expected.
The ordinance thus completed Will
so to the lower branch of City
Council tonight. 1t is probable Presi-
dent Fred II. Powell will call the
body to meet on "Wednesday night
TO take final action so far as that
body is concerned. and the Board of
Aldermen Will he immediate tely there
after convened to concur In such ac-
ton as may bo taken by Council.
1t is important that the paper be
adopted by May I. as upon that day
the license year begins, and the reve-
nue. measure must be law before
that date.
The budget is an interesting docu-
ment. The total revenue. estimated.
for the year. as reported by Comp
trollcr Cofer to the Mayor is ST.
279.924.24. TO which may be added a
of the fiscal year of s15S.S5s.s4. From
this total must be deducted the sum
of s3.lSl.476.02 for school levy and
tax and interest and redemption.
This leaves s4.0i4.44i.T1 as total avail
able funds for general purposes.
Largest Source Tax Levy.
OF this total revenue, tho largest
source is the tax levy. which re-
mains practically as IL was last year.

framed by the appropriations commit
tee and opposed by President Harding
wabbled ut times like frail craft
then went down by The head, There
are other sections, of course, to be
taken up, hut the big fight was on
the enlisted provision.
Some administration leaders as
serted that the letter presented from
the President. urging that the force
be not reduced below $4,000. swung
the tide in favor of the amendment
which WIS offered jointly by Repre-
sentative Macarthur of Oregon and
Representative Ware of Pennsylvania
both Republican.
Fighting to the last, holding his
ground through four solid hours of de
bate. Representative Kelley of Nlichi-
gan. in charge of the bill, took the de
feat with smile when roar, rising
and growing, swept the chamber as
the march of members down the aisl,
for Il mnn-to-mm count showed that
the amendment had won.
When the moment came for vote
on the $4,000 amendment the question
was put and there was loud shout
of ayes and an even louder shout Of
noes. No presiding officer could have
decided which side was stronger in
numbers.
So great was the below of the noes
thar Representative Ware, on the win
ming side, jumped to his feet with n
demand for a rising vote. Before this
could be called the whole House
shouted for tellers and in II moment

to crowd through and he counted.
Every seat filled, the galleries
joined in the tumult. Guards who had
kept the crowds in order during the
day let them shout as they pleased.
Representative Kelley, as chairman
of the subcommittee which framed the
bill with its provision of a navy with
strength of $1,000 men-less than n
navy under the arms conference trea-
ty should have, opponents claimed
had the last word in the long debate.
Half of the House stood as he started
to speak. AS the gavel tapped the
warning that his time was up the
chairman, swinging away from the
point he was seeking to drive home,

crease came from navy yard sections,
exclaimed:
