REDUCTIONS IN

OFFICES LOOMS
Retrenchment in All
Departments Made
Basis Of Plan.

Drastic reductions in the
personnel of every city de-
partment except the police
j, and a program of stringent
Economy which would elm
mate all but emergency ex-
p~enditures were outlined in the re-
port of the finance committee pre-
sented to the city council last night
by c. E. Hofhine.
A proposal that two additional
traffic policemen be employed. to
be allocated one to the eastern and
n to the western section of the
city. was approved by the council,
and the new officers will be placed
on duty at once. Consideration of
the other recommendations was de-
ferred until tho next session OF the
council.
Completion of the bulk of the
city's Improvement work and the
seasonal lull in other projects were
cited as ground for a general policy
of retrenchment during the next
few months. A more efficient ac-
counting system, under the direc-
ton of n full-time city auditor. was
proposed as a necessary method of
eliminating waste and making every
LSaar buy fun value.
The report recommended that the
ofice of park commissioner be tenn
porarily abolished. at least until
warmer weather brought a revival
Of his duties, and that the incumbent
should DO employed elsewhere, a
place for him to be made by the
removal of someone of less senior
ity. The committee held hat three
inspectors were unnecessary and
suggested that the office of building
inspector be combined with one of
the other in~spectorships. and the
entire work be placed under the city
engineer.
Pointing out that the engineering
department had virtually completed
its improvement work. the report
urged a reduction of the force and
suggested that the city engineer re-
port t the council in what way this
could best be effected. A similar
curtailment in the legal department
was proposed. The committee
argued that the services Of the at
torney and one stenographer should
be adequate.
