AROUSED ON
CITY BUDGET
Gust Chamber of Commerce
Representative From
Session.
PEEvED AT CONTROLLER
Raise Tax Rate but Con-
slider Other SIasheS.

Majority faction city councilmen
today displayed their annoyance
with them amer in which the 1927
city budget was prepared by City
Controller william C. Buser and
Chamber of Commerce officials.
They ousted Herman L. Smoke, of
the Chambers civic affairs COM
mittee. from a session in council
chamber twere the budget was being
considered by a councilmanic COM
nittee, and scored Buser for alleged
secrecy in preparing the estimates.
Every time we went near the con-
troller's office. we fourtd the doors
locked" said Boynton J. Moore,
council president. "They didn't give
US a chance to see the budget and
now they ask us to pass it,"
Leave 1t Alone"
"Oh, let's leave it at-this years
figure" Councilman Walter r.
Dorsett muttered registering disgust.
Elimination of three fire houses
was assailed as dangerous and taken
from a 1919 recommendation of the
National Board of Fire Under
writer's.
Moore voiced opposition to the re-
duction of intermediate grades be-
tween patrolmen and sergeants to
patrolmen.
Bleeding and battered. the pro-
posed 1927 municipal budget will
face another round at a special
council meeting Thursday night
when the budget tax rate for re.
advertising will be determined.
The budget hardly knows where
it's "at." With the tax rate first set
at s1.O35 by City Controller Buser,
it was expanded~and compressed in
several vital spots by councilmen
Tuesday night, with a tax rate of
$1.04 finally resulting.
$500 Travel Allowance
"Buser made a great flourish of
cutting, but added two jobs in his
own department with $500
, allowance for travelling expenses"
Moore said
Buser declared the $500 is for
travelling expenses of all city de-
partments.
Moore said councilmen hoped to
lower the budget rate to $1.03.
During manipulations Tuesday
night, the general fund rate was de-
creased 1.25 cents and the mainte-
nance fund rate of the board Of san.
itary commissioners, one-half cent
The park board levy was tentatively
2 cents and recreation department
rate one-quarter cent.
Maneuvers Scored
Dilatory maneuvers Of the ma jor;.
ty faction councilmen were scored
by Councilman Edward B. Raub,
Democrat, who charged these tactics
would result in maintenance of the
present rate of $1.o5 for 1927.
If councilmen fail to take final
action on the budget by Sept. IS the
present rate will prevail.
1T seems by these tactics you
want the old rate to continue in ef-
feet" Raub said, after Councilman
Otis e. Bartholomew moved the pub
lie hearing on the budget be set for
Sept. 7, a day beyond the legal
limit.
Bartholomew said he was of the
opinion that Labor day, Sept. 6,
would not be counted.
