Mayor Curtis felt further reductions were possible and at his suggestion, Alderman Paoncssa moved that the tax rate be fixed at 21 mills. With departmental balances and estimated receipts before the close of the f's- cal year, this necessitated collections to the amount of S14,000. Collector T.oon1is was given the entire month Of March to collect that sum, but has round 1t possible to reach his goal in six days.

WILL REMAIN OPEN
 SATURDAY NIGHTS
Mercantile Bureau ReVerses the Recommendations of Committee

The recommendation by the uni- form hour committee Of the Mercnn- tile Bureau of the Chamber of Con- nerce that stores close at o'clock Saturday night during certain speci- fled summer months, was rejected at a meeting Of the bureau this morning.
 The general feeling seemed to be that Saturday night. being the busi- est night of the week, should be the one night when shoppers should have an opportunity to do their weekly purchasing. It also would interfere, somewhat with merchants selling per- ishable goods, If they were required to close at 6 o'clock Saturday nights during the hot weather, they said.
 Instead Of merely remaining open until o'clock for several nights pre- ceding Christmas, as was recommend ed, 1t was voted to remain open until that hour for the entire week, be- ginning December IS.
 Open Until 9 Saturday.
 During the other weeks of the year, stores will close at 6 p. m. every night but Saturday, when they will remain open until o'clock. No ex- ceptions will be. made for evenings before holidays. It was decided to accept the recommendation to close Wednesday afternoons from June 2S to September 13.
 Holiday Obscrvances
 Holidays to be observed include New Years day, Washington's Birth day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. On Good Friday the stores will remain open in the fore noon, closing at 12 o'clock noon No action was taken concerning Armistice Day, it being felt that 1t were better to leave that day for action accord ing to circumstances at the time.
 Cards announcing the action of the loard will be printed by the Cham Der of Commerce and will be distrib- uted later
