Budgetary Forecast For June
Indicates Highway Fund
Only One to Show Surplus
RECOMMEND ECONOMY

A budgetary forecast of state
finances for the fiscal year that
ends June 80 indicates a deficit of
81 ,391 ,219.46, Desmond "A. Lyons.
accountant for the Permanent
Budget Commission, reported to
representatives Of IA state agen-
les who ended three-day confer
ence in the legislative hall in Do
yer. The forecast, which includes
general, school, and highway funds,
is based on original estimates of
revenue, he explained. According
to the report, the highway fund
with an excess Of S7,792.47 above
expenditures of $4,27O, ,552. .89 is the
only fund that will not show a de-
ficit. Total revenue estimated in
the report is $1O,931, 1858, with
total expenditures of S12,322 ,945.-

general fund is s1,27O ,8O2.O7, based
on total revenue of S2,440, ,333. .06
with expenditures amounting to
50, III, 1913.
Deficit In the School Fund
The school fund deficit, accord
ing to the report, will be SIPS, ,209,-
SO, with expenditures totaling S4.-
341 ,257.07 as compared with esti-
mated revenue of $4, 4,278, ,345.36
Loans of S5O0,0OO from the high
way fund, and 100000 from the
school fund, and the diversion of
S570802.07 in franchise taxes from
the school fund, which We're au-
thorized by the Legislature for the
current fiscal year, were not con-
sidered in the general fund deficit
of $1,270, ,802.07, Mr.. Lyons report
ed. From the expenditure point of
view, all appropriations will likely
be spent, the agency heads were
told, and the only aid in view is
a reduction in direct relief costs
which may tighten the burden on
general fund appropriations by
$4,000. No definite appropriation
was made by the Legislature for

she told that she had visited the

She said she did not have any

Mrs. Neiser has cut out pictures
of all phases of home construc-
ton and decoration, that she could
find in catalogs, pamphlets and

and will be available to Model

If a customer wants to see some

show dozens of combinations;
home owners about to transform
their attics into additional rooms
can see how others have done the
job.
The completed scrap books Will

Neighborhood
Is Important
Use Gore When
Picking Site

When buying a home, there are
numerous points TO be taken into
consideration aside from those
that have a direct bearing on the
house itself. One of the most i'm
portant collateral factors is the
neighborhood. From a resale or
investment standpoint, a home
should not be above its neighbor-
hood. In other words. don't build
a $500 home in a $1,000 neigh
borhood.
Another point to take into con-
sideration in selecting a home Is
the location of schools, stores and
transportation. What protection
have you from the possible inva-
sion OF your neighborhood by un-
desirable elements? For example.
the location of filling station In
your m m diate neighborhood
would greatly add to traffic perils
for your children. The possible
routing of bus or street car line
directly in front of your door
would not only add to the various
dangers that arise from heavier
traffic but they would mean added
noise and dirt.
Also be sure that the neighbor-
hood in which you propose to build
or buy is not going backwards.
One point In this connection is to
find out If most of the residents
are substantial home owners. A
neighborhood made up largely of
rental properties is more in dan
ger of going backwards than one
preponderately owner-occupied be-
cause of the innate pride of home
owners in keeping their places in
spick-and-span condition.
1t is well to look into the future
and try to visualize your property
as it will be in five, ten or twenty
years from the time you buy or
build. Is 1t in the path Of prog
ress? Are there factors which,
in the years to come, may make
your neighborhood a more or less
desirable place in which to live?
To sum 1t all up, remember that
you can't buy just the home in
which you are going to live; you
must buy the neighborhood, too.
