BUDGET MATTER
DISCUSSED BY
CITY COUNCIL
RECOMMENDATION M A D E
LAST NIGHT FOR CUT IN
SALARIES; ONLY TENTA-
TIVE AGREEMENT REACHED

The matter of arranging the
budget for the operation Of the
city departments for the ensuing
year, brought about considerable
discussion at special melting of
the city council last night.
There were two separate and
distinct budgets submitted, one by
Councilman Monsalvatge, and the
other by Councilman Sawyer. Both,
however, were made on a basis of
100000 for taking care of the
city's affairs for the coming year.
The one proposed by Mr.. Mon
salvatge called for a 20 percent cut
in all salaries of officials and 9TH
ers employees, while the one of Mr..
Sawyer's did not pertain to any
cut whatever in salaries.
The one carrying the general cut
would cali for levying 27 mills
against the tax roll, while the 9TH
err would place it at 20 " mills.
Both of the documents were read
and voted upon with the one SUBJ
mitted by Mr.. Sawyer being tenta-
lively agreed upon. 1t was shown
that it would become necessary to
draw up resolution in conjunc-
ton with the final acceptance of
the budget, taking care of other
matters involved, and this action
will be taken at another meeting
to be held in the near future.
Councilman Freeman expressed
himself on the cut proposition, and
emphatically stated that he was
unquestionably opposed to any cut
being made unless the councilmen
agreed to make reduction in their
own salaries. saying that he
thought this was just and proper.
Councilman Gwynn stated that
he was not in favor of any cut in
salaries being made unless it could
be shown where the city could be
operated upon a cash basis, saying
that he felt that it would not be
right to make any reduction mas
much the men were not being paid
off now.
Councilman Monsalvatge said
that the only way the city could
straighten out things would be by
making cuts in salaries along with
many other reductions, stating that
it appeared to him that the city
should not incur anymore expense
than it was able to take care of.
Councilman Sawyer said that he
did not see where the proposed
cut would help anyway whatever,
stating that he did not see where
it would be any inducement for
property owners to pay their taxes,
and felt that the operations should
be carried on in the same way as
now exists. He said if he could be
shown where this reduction would
be the means of producing any
more revenue to the city that he
would be heartily in favor of same.
At the termination of the dis
cussion, which was general, per-
tanning to the budget, the meeting
was ordered adjourned as there
was nothing further coming before
the session up to that time.

The committee appointed by the City Council to arrange for the Islands celebration of George Washington's 20Oth anniversary together with the heads of the various organizations, got together Thursday evening to start prepara- tions. It was tentatively arranged that one good program should be put on each month by one of the different organizations, and by eliminating three months during the summer, there would be suffi- cient programs to cover the period set aside by the nation for the ob- servance.
 It was also decided that the pro- grams should consist of two or three ten-minute talks by different speakers, community singing and perhaps play by school children. The City Council, acting with the Chamber of Commerce, will be the sponsors of the first program to be given in February, according to present plans.
