ROACH WARNS MOTHERS AFTER
 'KIDNAP' SCARE
Advises Against Leaving Babies in Carriages Out
 side Stores

Following a kidnap scare yesterday, Superintendent of Police William J. Roach today warned mothers to exercise more caution when shopping with baby. The chief scored the practice of leaving baby outside in a carriage while mother goes into a store to shop, a habit which might result in a real Kidnapping. Superintendent Roach Sug- gested that, if possible, someone should be left outside to watch the baby while mother does her shopping, adding that besides preventing the possibility of 8 kidnap, the pro cedure would be safety first" measure for baby.
 Took Baby For Walk
 Yesterdays kidnap scare resulted when an unidentified woman took a baby for walk in her carriage, and returning ten minutes later found & frantic mother surrounded by hundreds of spectators. The inci- dent occurred in front of a store at 94 Bank street.
 The infant was the three-months old daughter of Mrs. Carmen Ca- vello, of 27 Platt street, and was left just outside the door Of the store.
 Saw Woman At Carriage
 Mrs. Cavello said she noticed a woman, whom she said she knew slightly, standing near the carriage and touching the handle, but pre- sumed the woman just wished to mind the baby while she shopped.
 When she came out, she found baby and carriage had disappeared, and the cry of "ladnap" quickly went up. It was short-lived, how riage and the baby was soon dis covered on Grand street, and 1t was ever, as the woman with the car- readily established that she meant no harm.
 Patrolmen Joseph German and George Knowles investigated.

 Complete Preliminaries
 The finance board, which has been meeting nightly for some weeks to work on the budget, decided last month to complete all its preliminary budget preparation before taking up requests for appropriations from various groups. To be considered, along with the East End request, is a plea by Corporal Coyle Post, Ameri- can Legion, for an appropriation for the State American Legion conven- ton here next year, and also requests by several other groups for special appropriations.
 Much work remains to be done on the budget, but it is being reported that the finance board will recom- mend a tax rate of B IA mills, if the 10 per cent pay cut is restored to city employees. Otheriwse the tax rate can be cut down to 31 IA mills or whereabouts.
 Recently Voted
 The board only recently voted to allow all those asking special appro- priations to present their cases after preparation of the budget for next year had progressed far enough. notified in advance of the hearings. Reports that the finance board would send the budget on to the aldermen without taking up the East End gymnasium or other proposals are listed as without foundation by members of the board.
 The budget problem has been made more difficult by the fact that the Culhane charter revision act cre- ates number of new city positions, provides salary increases for some board members, and requires payment of salaries to some board members who had served in the past without cost to the city.
