District Court Action MAY
Reopen Preference Case

luth district court which may reopen
the soldiers preference case brought
against the city by II ex-service men.
Attorneys for the veterans have
pending a motion in district court for
an order to file supplemental COM
plant in the case, and hearing is
set for Friday, Dec. IL. If the motion
is granted it will in effect reopen the
case.
At the adjourned meeting of the
council Wednesday night Peter Mosca-
telli, city attorney, was directed to
ask that the motion be denied.
In the original findings on the case
the court ordered that the II ex-
servicemen, all world war veterans, be
given 10 days at common labor, or
more if common labor doing similar
work is given more. Various types of
classifications were set up. Men work.
ing in these classifications were later
changed by the council to six days.
Attorneys for the veterans contend
that the city is not abiding by the
courts findings, and are asking en-
ployment for the veterans at full time
and full pay, and back pay from
June, 1910, to the present date.
Requests for revision of its $500
budget were denied the band, which
asked for its original request of $4,190.
The band said the contemplated pur-
chase Of uniforms and portable seats
would now be impossible, but Mayor
Kapsch pointed out that the budget
was to finance concerts and not such
other items. Mayor Kapsch was critical
of last years expenditures, declaring
that $500 went for concerts and the
balance, or about $4,000, for "miscel-
laneous" expenses, according to the
city audit.
The city's half of the recreation
budget was hiked from 1900 to 81 ,795,
as per the original request, after
members Of the recreation board had
conferred at length with the council.
A letter from the PIT. A. council was
presented asking that the increase be
granted, and one from Chief Douglas
Nankervis of the police department de-
claring that the juvenile delinquency
problem would be solved by the rec
reation activities.
During its first two months of exist
ence the department had total at
tendance of 6,311 at it's activities, An
thony Brimsek, director, declared.
Funds available for December's cur
rent expenses total $21, ,616.62, Clerk
A. o. Knutson, reported, necessitating
cut of $1,000 from November's $23,-
546.
The city will appeal from certain un-
outlined mineral valuations set by the
tax commissioner, it was decided in
the committee of the whole.
After a lengthy fight during which
the closing hour of 80 places was
changed by ordinance from 1 a. m. to
IL midnight, the council now faces a
renewal of the controversy. Alderman
John N. Maxi moved that the ordin-
ance be amended to make the closing
hour as originally, 1 a. m.
A comparison of the budget for this
year and next is printed below. Out Of
the band levy $1,000 goes to the Ely
drum corps. A $4,000 balance in last
years permanent improvement fund re-
suited in the small levy for this year.
There will be no balance to carry over
for next year. The park fund has
been abolished because of the small
expenditures involved.
The levies:

Paint Economical

According to the president of a
large writing paper company, it is
the poorest of economy to let equip
ment and buildings run down for
the purpose of saving on paint bills.
Paint not only adds many years to
the life of the property, he declares,
but newly applied paint increases
natural illumination.

Class I Melting Pot

The Baptist Institute for Christian
Workers, in Philadelphia may well
