CHICAGO, July 6—Announcement that Chicago's new administration has effected economies in city payrolls, amounting to $6.000.000 a year, causes the comment here that politicians can save money when put under pressure. | This initial lopping off of jobs in an effort to make both ends of city finance meet, Involves a saving of nearly 10 per cent in the salary roll for purely city government. It is just & fraction of the $50,000.000 & year which J. L. Jacobs, Jocal efficiency engineer, believes can be gaved in the many governmental units functioning here. ‘The successful attempt of Mayor Anton J. Cermek to squeeze the water out of city jobs bears out the conten- tion of the Tax Relief Committee se- lected by Gov. Louis L. Emmerson that the first essential to tax reduction in these times is strict governmental| economy. | ‘The mayor points out that his first| efforts to bring down the cost of gov- ernment are only a taste.

This tremendous total involves $170.000.000 in uncol- lected taxes. While reflecting an un- usual local situation, due to a tax re- volt, it 1s somewhat typical of the whole country. A growing number of cities are finding it necessary to go to extraor- dinary lengths to find money with which to operate. Chicago just happens to be one of the first to have its machine break down from the weight of the expense of expansion in recent years. Local officlals emphasize that many other cities are approaching Chicago's situa- tion and will be tangled up in financial troubles while the local government is revamped and functioning normally again.
