STUDY TO Cut
C|TY'S BUDGET
IN 1929 URGED
Slash in Personnel, Mater
iaIs Can Be Made, Be-
lief of Committee.
TOO LATE. THIS YEAR
Chamber of Commerce
Group Favors Tax Rate
of $1.10 for 1928.
TOO LATE. THIS YEAR

While the time is too short before
the 1928 budget and tax levy must
be adopted, by law, diligent study
by city department heads within the
next few weeks would result in cuts
on personnel and materials which
would leave a balance sufficient to
enable a substantial tax cut in
1929.
This is the opinion of the staff
of the civil affairs committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, which
worked with the city controller, in
preparation of the 1927 budget and
with city council in consideration
of it, expressed in 9. report made
public today. The report is to be
considered by Chamber directors.
Urge Rate of S1.10
The report recommends cuts in
he $i.195 levy proposed by City
Controller William C. Buser which
would put the city rate for 1927 at
$1.10. This is cents higher than
the present rate, which Mayor
Duvall, since the council received
the budget, has declared he hopes
can be kept.
'The heads Of several depart
ments during the council interviews
admitted that there are many po-
sitionsN on the city pay roll that
could be dispensed with, but, as the
president of one of the important
boards said, 1--WE are not entirely
free agents and we have no more
employees than they had in previous
years, but if you are going to it on
that basis, there probably could be
a very great saving" says the re-
port.
at is to achieve this very great
saving that we, therefore, recon-
mend that an earnest study of the
personnel of city employment be
made. That the city may obtain
the earliest possible benefit of such
we recommend study, it be started
without delay
Cuts Are Recommended
The report advocates drastic re-
duction and more efficient assign
ment personnel in the engineering
department.
Pointing out that the $272,000
owed by the city for street light
ing an dwater constitutes one of
the most serious budget problems,
the report recommends this be
spread over two years.
"The sanitation budget continues
to provide an item of $1,000 salary
to the two commissioners, whose
Asalaries, by law, are to be reduced
ITO 5000 annually, each, when con-
struction work Of the department.
has ended.
"All construction work is ended,
and has been completed for several
months, with opening of the garbage
plant early in the summer. True,
some construction items are planned
to be built, such as a small sewer,
and there is discussion of additions
to the city's sewage. disposal system.
Advocates Pay Slash
However, the time has arrived
and has passed when the commits
sioners should retire from these
salaries, and these items should be
reduced from the 1928 budget.
The table shows the levies recon-
mended for 1928, in comparison with
the 1927 levies and the levies ap-
proved for 1928:
