No Increase in
City Budget for
Current Expense
Preliminary Figures Con.
sidered by Council for
Next Year

virtually no changes were made
IN the, city,s budget for the comm,
year in Tuesday evening when tn,
council met for the consideration O
the fiscal aspects of the situation
Under the 40-min limit law, cities
are permitted a levy of fifteen mills
Tor current expenses, which amount
IS barely enough to keep the civic
wheels turning :.
Items for the several city de-
partments have been prlned to their
lowest limits for the past several
years, and while the valuations took
q slight upturn this year, the add
tional revenue Is not sufficient for
the city to do any important Inn
provement work.
Regular operating expenses. SAL
aries for the city officers, police.
firemen. etc., lights and hydrant
rent, will account for ten Of the
e1ty's fifteen mills to be raised by
taxation. Street work will take al
most all of the remainder of the
tax levy. But receipts from other
sources than taxation will raise the
city's income by something over
four thousand dollars and this
money will be used to pay interest
IN outstanding bonds and for the
retirement OF some. This money
zones from licenses, fines, etc.
The several departments Of the
lily. library, park, etc. will have Just
bout the same budgets to operate
N during the coming year as has
,een provided in the past few years.

Off to work to town to market .. or to meet a friend for lunch, smart and confident in this slimming Claire Tilden shirtwaister. A midsummer wardrobe tonic, Pat- tern 876, will be gay in printed li- nen, gingham or percale. If you're over-large at the bust, you'll ap- preciate the clever scalloping that makes the eye travel up and down rather than across. And don't miss the cool neck. You might make the becomingly shaped collar in con- trast and use ric-rac or ruffle trim, with cuffs to match. The tailored skirt has a smart front pleat that makes for walking ease. A useful dress you'll wear almost as uniform into Fall, and it takes just jiffy to stitch up with the Sewing Guide to chart your course.
 Pattern 876 is cut in women's sig es 34, 36, 33, 40, 42, A, 46 and 48. Size 36 requires 3 3-4 yards 39 inch fabric and 1 3-8 yards ric-rac.

 ADVENTURE
 FOR BOYS
 Now we come to the boys books for Charles, 12. There are the RObeen stories by Robinson (Dut- tom, about the boy who turned In- dian, and Hello the Boat by Craw- ford CHolt), about store-boat on the Mississippi.
 I think every boy should read Rifles for Washington by Sing master (Houghton Miffin). Then too, The Story of Buffalo Bill by Garst (Bobbs MerrilD, and Jungle River by Pease Dodd Mead).
 Oh, there are so many that have had to leave out, that think trip to a book shop would help you more than a letter.
 Yours sincerely,
 OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON.
