MUST Be MORE
Street Commissioner Objects to Cut
In His Department; City
Short of Money.

Claiming that he needs $4,000 in
the city sewer fund and $4,000 IN
the light fund, marked increases
over money allotted those funds in
the 1922 appropriation ordinance,
Commissioner Frank WITCH, depart
ment of streets and public improve
meuts, voted mo on the consider
alton of the revenue ordinance sub
mitted in yesterdays council meet
ing.
The rest of the council voted for
the budget. Tomorrow morning
the council members will informal
" thresh out the claims of Commits
sioner WITCH and attempt to revise
some items of the ordinance so that
his work may be provided for bet
ter. His adverse vote was one OF
the very few which have rufffed
the calm of the council chamber
during this administration.
Though practically every fund
was cut this year, the other depart
ment heads agreed that the draft of
the ordinance apportioned the
available funds as well as posi-
Bile.
The city's revenues will be much
smaller during the fiscal year
which began last April l than it
was during the year just ended, and
all departments are curtailed. Rev
enues from all sources, including
the waterworks fund. amounted to
SS01 $4,000 last year, while this
year they are estimated to total
only $756, 460.91, decrease of s45,-
37915.
This necessarily means big de-
creases in the municipal expendi-
lures. A cut of $25. 27S.61. from
S465, 9879 90 last year to S440, 709.2 20
this year, comes in the funds pro-
vided for by revenues exclusive of

pend on the general tax levy are
