BUDGET HEARING
DRAWS BIG CROWD
Petition Bearing Large Number of
Names Presented in Opposi-
ton to Passage.
MANY CITIZENS WERE HEARD.

City Council chamber was crowded
on Monday night by citizens, many of
whom had signed a petition circulated
by Mrs. John Mahoney. in opposition
to the passage of the 1923 budget.
The petition was a protest against the
amount to be raised and requested the
matter be laid over for a public hear
ing on a date to be set by City Coun-
Gil. The petitioners were informed by
Councilman Stephenson that it was
not necessary to set another date for
hearing, as this evening was regularly
set by Council for the budget hearing.
Mrs. Mahoney and others addressed
Council on various matters, ranging
from improvement of streets, better
sidewalks, additional fire protection,
the sewerage question, and a general
controversy over the amounts to be
raised for 1928 expenses. Councilman
Stephenson and President Yates both
informed the petitioners and citizens
generally that Council would gladly
welcome. any criticism of their acts
regarding the budget. and that Coun-
Gil would be glad to make a reduction
in the budget, If shown just where it
could be made. An explanation was
made of the time that had been spent
IN making up the budget and the
items which have to be taken care of
this year.
While many suggestions were made
and some sarcastic remarks were ut
tered by some of the speakers regard
ing past performances of City Council
and other officials, there were no def
mite plans suggested by anybody
whereby any of the items in the bud
get could be eliminated or cut. City
Assessor Reuben E. Adams defended
the assessments for 1928, and Free
holder Clark Adams gave the present
members of City Council praise for
the manner in which the city's affairs
are being administered. Councilman
Stephenson stated hat some changes
were to be made in the budget at the
suggestion of the auditors which
would tend to reduce the tax rate
somewhat rather than to raise it, to
conform to the requirements of the
state department of accounts. The
hearing was continued until next Mon
day night, when the proposed changes
will. be incorporated in the budget.

when approaching a railroad cross

commenting on an urgent appeal of
the Great Northern Railway for full
est cooperation of the public in the
daily efforts being made to assure
maximum safety for employees and
patrons of the trans-continental sys-

"Be careful at grade crossings"
urges Chairman Hill. Nearly every
day large loss of life through pre-
ventable accidents Is reported and
thousands of persons who are not
killed are MANNED and crippled. Care
lessness in crossing railroad tracks
was responsible for more of these ac-
cidents than any other one cause. A
train cannot turn out for the motorist
or pedestrian but must cross the high
ways at such speed as Is necessary
to maintain the service that the peo-
pie need and demand.
