New Budget
$18.ll3 Eormorked
for Next Yeor

ROSEVILLE - The annual
budget Of S18l, 1l3 was accept
ed unanimously by the village
council at the meeting Monday
night, after a lively period of
discussion, during which an in
creased budget was urged.
Arguing the need Of an in
creased budget to provide new
fire equipment, especially a
new fire-truck, and more money
for labor for public works de-
partment, to provide adequate
care for streets, green's and
h-basins in connection with
the new sewer, the DIRECTORS to
the budget as presented were
answered by Village President
William c. Harper.
STATEMENT
Explaining his stand in a let
ter read to thu council, Harper
pointed out that an effort is be-
ing made to keep the tax rate
down, that it is not an oppor-
tune time TO purchase equip
ment, that if backs and
probable temporary unemploy-
ment due to close OF the war
with Europe should occur at a
tax-collection period, the vii
lage might conceivably find
difficulty operating on funds
available.
IL and when the state refunds
sales tax monies 10 individual
communities, Harper pointed
out, fire truck will be one OF
the first considerations.
SEEK SAVINGS
Harper explained that he had
checked the need for more labor
in the Pubic Works department,
and found it unnecessary. The
purchase of added equipment,
he stated, might better wait
until such equipment can be
purchased from the Federal
Government at a reduced rate
OF the total budget of $751;
lib the sum Of S62,88 is ear
marked for debt service The
fire department budget is Sl0,-
230; police department, S33,-
645; and department of public
works, SAT $50.

Statistics compiled by the
War Production Board show
that only 20 per cent Of the
