tory to do so as soon as possible.
The drive closes Monday, the 10Th.
Persons who have delayed their
contributions to this opportunity to
lend hand to the first-to-be-called
organization in time of emergency,
are requested to send or bring it
to their neighborhood worker, or

The need is urgent.

Happy Birthday, Rapid Transit.
Today Rapid Transit is one year
old. The first run on this long
hoped for and planned for exten-
sion of Cleveland Transit System
service was made March 18th, 1903
IT'S first section extended from
Windermere Station to Terminal
Tower in downtown Public Square,
a distance Of II miles. Within this
first year the service has been ex-
tended to West 117th ST., another
five miles.
Ever since the Rapid became
effective, there has been talk OF
evanston. Pros and cons on such
possibilities as eastward extension
TO the county line; westward ex-
tension to the growing southwest
developments ;and for bus riders,
eliminating of much seemingly
unnecessary transferring at Win
dermere Station and better park

the passengers.
Well, another birthday. may have

ride you to their convenience.

City Budget Boosts
All Salary Levels

Increase in salaries for all city
employees is provided for in the
1856 appropriation ordinance
enacted by the City Commission
Tuesday evening, March 18th. The
measure was presented by Finance
Director G. T. Apthorp.
The budget calls for a General
Operating Fund expenditure of
81, ,131 ,460, which is about 100000
over and above the 1866 actual
expenditure of S1,031,03O. Only
actual expenses are met from the
appropriation.
The salary increases total
S72,115 of which $4,000 goes to
present personnel and $4,000 to
additional manpower. This addi-
tional manpower includes a $4,000
in the police department where
three new patrolmen have been
added so far this year, and an
equal increase is anticipated fol-
lowing the current examining
period.
The budget calls for the 100
percent payment of uniforms for
regular police and firemen. Up to
now the city has paid so percent
of this cost; plus the cost of all
heavy duty wearing apparel for
both departments, and 100 percent
for uniforms for motor cycle
officers.
Balance Of the increased budget
is due to the usual "up" in costs
of supplies, equipment, etc. which
comes along regularly each year
for taxing units as well as in busi-
ness and personal living in all
fields.
