The pro- posed budget was pared to the lower amount, he said, only by sacrificing proper city government sn several instances; in the face Of she storm brewing in the last few days with regard to taxes.
 ; Following up statements by sev- eral property owners present that there is no complaint regarding taxing sufficiently to run the city in a progressive manner-that what is demanded is equable taxation the mayor withdrew the budget he had submitted for further con- sideration.
 . Putting the direst question: .You'd be willing if necessary to pay 20 mills if values are equal ked?' the mayor drew an almost unanimous affirmative response. However. when he declared, T take it that it would be acceptable for us to go back over the budget and put in the things we think are essential he received the eounter- proposal that the tax payers petition should first be ac- eepted by the council.

 Henretta Far Astray
 The meeting was set back on the target by H. L. Faulkner, who returned discussion to the tax petition with the statement that it is the general feeling that Evaluator Henretta had gone so far astray that he can no longer be considered capable of settling disputes that have arisen over assessments.
 The councilmen generally seemed to feel that Henretta should not entirely be left out of future ad- iustments, Councilman John Young rejoining to the effect that Hen retta has said he can and will out disputes his contract calls for him to do so.
 Committee Chairman Charles Naghel, who presented the petition to the council, made the declara- ten that Henretta does not have the background necessary for an that his previous ex- perience had been as an assistant "We don't want him on the re-appraisal group, MT Naghel stated.
