EDl W0lAClA 6A1A VAA 6OS,SNO wee lagain tommrow night at 2 o'clock Do complete it's work of trying to reduce proposed expenditures for Ithe new fiscal year, amounting 10 I$536, 1000, to total of $526,621. rms latter figure is the amount that es- Itimated revenues will bring in dur Eing the present fiscal year. The board will meet Saturday at l:SU
 b. m. for final approval.
 The session last night was de- Noted mainly to consideration ol "details of the new budget but It was brought out that plans for new roof for the fire house, which, ac- cording to Warden John J. Snerloaii land Burgess Joseph Nygren IS Daoly lin need of repair, will probably DC provided for in the new budget.
 No definite action was taken at last nights meeting. The proposed departmental budgets as suDmitteo by the individual department heads were as follows: General ad- immigration, $1O6,610.77 for the present fiscal year, it being SUD- 9O5, ,S6 last year; public safety, $U,- 983.9O for the new fiscal year, tnls including 5 per cent restoration TOT Epolicemen and firemen, the appro- lpriation last year being $63,649.2l; leducation, $209, 300 for the new year, Hast years budget being $l96, ,l0o; Ihealth and sanitation, $500 for the !new year, last years being $o'4oO' Ithe $l5o difference being a pro posed increase for the garbage COT, |llector; public welfare, $65,OOo asKeo ! for this year, the same amount as was appropriated last year; pubic works, $75,O0O asked for this year. also the same amount as last year, k special appropriations, $3,000.SS pro | posed this year, being quite a re- E duction from the $7,7ll.l5 puoget
 This makes a total of $536, 100 pro s pofed, but the 24 tax mill tax rate and the other sources of revenue will bring in only $526,621.S3, the war den said.
 Reductions Suggested
 10 as the administration does not want to increase the tax rate, these nroposals must be reduced. Bor- ougil Clerk Charles E. Daly reao | the proposed departmental reduc- tions to bring the total within the S526. .62l figure. The budgets ten tasively proposed for approval Dy the board follow: General admin istration, $106,610.77; public safety S69. .588.9O: education, $2O8,9OU; health and sanitation, $500; pup lie welfare, $57,500; public WorKs' s75.0OO; special appropriations $3, ,422.16.
 As can be seen the major cut frcm the proposals made by the de- nartmental heads is in the welfare l department, the figure propose1 for approval by the board being S7 500 less than the amount Sug- gested by the welfare board for the new fiscal year. The suggested figure of $208,900 for the school department is $1,000 less than that asked by that board. The only other changes in the figures as proposed by the department heads are ln the plblic safety and special approprla- tions departments. The figures sug- gested by the public safety heads ls cut $1,O00 and there is about $4oo added to the special appropriations figure as proposed. Members of the hoard stressed to neWSpapermen +hot these latter figures are only tentative.
 Has No Say
 when the slice on the education budget was mentioned, Burgess Joseph Raytkwich pointed out the boroilgh board hasn't much to say about the figure as the school board spent any amount deemed needed according to state law. Waroe1, sheridan said that if the schooi board cooperate, he believes It can stay within the proposed figures; Last wear the school board asked s199.500, vas cut to 196,lOO ana spent $201 ,973. Indications that there will be no tax reduction this year were borne out when the warden said that U would not be right to reduce the fax rate and probably have a deil- eft at the end of the fiscal year. The s2o8 900 suggested for the school department includes provisions TOT inc $5,OOO deficit of the past year
 in order that the indebtedness ol the borough will not be increased ne
 said.
 For Later Action
 Burgess Nygren said that ne
 thought the reduction of the board of education budget should be lelt

 which the borough board has more
 control. The warden said he nao no desire to interfere with the
