to her credit. On the basis Of her
graciousness at yesterdays press
party, she deserves no less.
Miss Horne's time yesterday was
limited. As the central character
in q mob act, she had no real
chance to answer questions. She
tried, and harder by far than most
persons In show business, but there
were too many persons asking too
many questions.
She was swamped by the queries,
most of which had to do with would
she mind having her picture taken
again with her fellow guests in the
Office of Abe Lichtman.
Miss Horne said she would love
to have her picture taken with the
guests. She proved it by having her
picture taken with them, down to
the last fiashEght bulb in the kits
of the cameramen.
Maybe" said Miss Horne, as the
last bulb expired, maybe we could
get together and talk sometime
during my engagement at the

Sure" said everybody to whom
she said it.
And, as she spoke, every one
realized there never was such a
press party in the whole history OF
get-togethers between Hollywood
celebrities and the washington
people who write about them.
Its primary production was MISS
Horne's charm, enough for the time
being, but by no means enough to
satisfy those who want to know
how she has come so close to the
records of Sinatra and Miss Hutton
as a celebrity on a personal-appear-

ing the cost anticipated for the
water and sewer department,
called for $4,000 more than
the new budget.
The 1894 figure, exclusive
of the water and sewer ap-
preparation of S277 ,437, was
S1,220,53S; the total, including
the water figure, was 1,497,-
975.
The lowered budget figure, it
was observed, indicates a lev
cling off in the city's expected
income and expenditure. 1943-
A saw the city experiencing its
peak financial year. The flow
of money into the city's treas
ury was, of course, precipitat-
ed by the booming of war in
dustry and military activity in
the community.
Resources in the coming
year, it is believed, will not
be SO high as in the past two
years. Thus the city is plan
ming ON conservative spending.
The new budget does not al
low for a boosting of salaries
for personnel, and will not in
clude funds for unusual prof.
ects or expansion of facilities.
The budget has received, al
ready, hours of attention at
the hands of the councilmen.
1t is believed tomorrow that
the board will adopt the pro-
duct.
Bruce B. Cameron, tate may
or of the city, led the action
that precipitated segregation
of the water and sewer book
keeping early this calendar
year. Mr.. Cameron declared
that the city "must see just
what is going on in the water
department, whether 1T is pay
ing as it goes" In the firm
belief that, at that time, the
department was. operating at a
loss, water rates were raised.
1t was the promise of the coun-
Gil that if the new bookkeeping
methods, being inaugurated in
this fiscal year, prove that the
department is realizing a wide
surplus between receipts and
expenditures new rate adjust
ments would be made.
The City of Wilmington is
going into the new fiscal year
with a surplus of $4,000.

City Council Will Act
On New Budget Today

A budget calling for $780,
900 to operate the City of Will
mington's general fund in the
fiscal year 1944-45 will be pre-
scented for action of the City
council at a special session
this morning, City Mana
ger A. C. Nichols announced
yesterday.
The new budget is based on
the tax rate of S1.35 per 500
valuation, the same rate in eff
feet for the fiscal period ended
June 80, Nichols said.
Nichols pointed out that the
general fund figure docs not
include the amount to be uti-
lized in the water and sewer
department, for this unit, for
the first time, has been segre-
gated from other city-financed
departments by order of the
City council. 1t will be handled
much in the matter of a pri-
vate utility, and will thus be
financially self-sustaining.

State board of health officials de-

that on the basis of past experience
a general decline in the number OF

LOAN, CLARIFIED

: WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 (ANP)
Seeking to clarity certain mis-
understandings surrounding the re-
Gently enacted CT bill which con-
Germs the $4,000 loan, late bulle-
tin covered the following points:
first, loans, not gifts, are contem-
plated under the CT law. They apply
to servicemen, and equally to serv-
ice-women, to buy homes, to build
homes, to buy businesses, to buy
farms for alterations, repair, i'm
provements, or to pay up back prop
erty taxes, or delinquent indebted
ness or for farm equipment
The government does not make
the loan to servicemen. Loans are
private loans, from banks, savings
and loan companies, insurance COM
panies, other lending institutions or
individuals. The government merely
guarantees the loans to veterans
only if they meet certain qualifica-
tions that are laid down. Every vet
does not get blanket guarantee of
$4,000. The government may guar
antee so percent of a loan, but the
guarantee portion is limited to
$4,000 for each veteran. Thus max
imum guarantee of $4,000, if the
