 Chief William J. Noble of the fire department added his words of com- plaint, expressing fear that expensive apparatus will be damaged by being strained or broken in pulling out of ditches and muddy streets in the outlying sections of the city.
 Mayor Weld does not approve of temporary relief. but favors an at tempt to make more permanent re- pairs wherever possible. Any other program would be a waste of money, he declared.

Other members of the assembly expressed opinions that the rate will increase automatically in sufficient degree without making deliberate jumps.

He pointed out that little in- crease will come in the grand list and that tho tax revenue will in- crease in a proportionately small The only way any depart ment can have more funds Is through . higher tax rate, higher grand list or by economies in other he explained.
 The water departments proposal to boost water rates was explained by Chairman Hatch. He pointed out large amounts of money will be ex- pended during the next five years on extensions to the system, against which the board feels he explained, 1t would be advisable to build up a reserve 50 that the cost would not be too heavy in any one year.
 Chairman Hall drowned on the idea of exacting higher charges at this time and recommended that nothing be done until maintenance costs are higher.

 rival Of French Pliers

Panama, Jan. IS R-The Spirit of St. Louis was in the hands of the mechanics today being groomed for further aerial adventures as Panama prepared to welcome two other air men. ..
 It was expected that the French flyers. Dieudonne Costes and Joseph LebriN, would arrive today from Guayaquil, Ecuador, 500 miles dis tant. In honor of their coming, President Chiari proclaimed a na- tional holiday.
 In army circles in the Canal Zone it was freely said that Colonel Chas. A. Lindbergh would be spirited away to Buquete for two days rest while his plane was tuned up at France field for the 900 mile hop to Caracas, Venezuela.

 The Spirit of St. Louis was partly dismantled while mechanics. includ. ing one from the Wright factory, checked it's motor.
 The visit of Lindbergh and the coming of the Frenchmen have aroused great interest here in avia. tion. President Chiari and Vice. president Duque were made enthud. asts by their ride with Lindbergh. Yesterday the Rotary club appointed standing committee on aviation with James c. Drumm, manager of the National City bank here, as chairman.

 It had been reported that the ex- penses were greatly on the increase. due to additions to the inspecting and clerical forces and improve ments in the system which make in- spectors available in and out of the office at all hours. but this was shown to have been accomplished at little cost.
 An increase in permit fees of s1 thousand is now being considered and will probably be made effective at the opening of the next fiscal year. Rutherford advised.
 The departments represented as- sured Senator Hall they will keep within their budgets for this year. Few have contemplated boosts in 192S-1929.
