Dispute of Mayor and City
 Govt Over Size. of Budget Has Stopped All
 Funds

Woonsocket, R. T.. May 6.-(UP)l --City employees will go unpaid to- day as result of split between Mayor Felix A. Toupin ana the city government over the size of the municipal budget for the coming year. >3... ....
 At a meeting that lasted beyond midnight, the government voted a tax levy of $2,I60, ,000, which was slO,000 over the maximum that Toupin would accept. He refused to sign the measure, rendering It ineffective and later said he would do nothing to secure funds for the empty city treasury or the ESQ., 900 payroll due to-day
 Toupin, q democrat. said $2.l2b.- 900 would be ample to balance tho city's budget for the coming. year, but that he would compromise by agreeing to a. tax levy of $2,1bo.- 900. The government, predonlin- antly republican, rejected the of- fer and set the tax levy at $2,- 160, 900.
 Toupin said bankers and the Woonsocket Taxpayers association agreed with his estimates. The banks were willing to give him tax anticipation loans on the basis of them, he asserted, and he would not seek loans based on any high CT figure.
