There were two separate and} distinct budgets submitted, one by! Councilman Monsalvatge, and the other by Councilman Sawyer. Both, however, were made on a basis of 1 $168,000 for taknig care of the city’s affairs for the coming year. The one proposed by Mr. Mon- salvatge caled for a 20 percent cut in all salaries of officials and oth- ers employes, while the one of Mr. Sawyer’s did not pertain to any cut whatever in salaries. The one carrying the general cut | would call for levying 27 mills ligatieet the tax roll, while the oth- ler would place it at 29% mills. Both of the documents were read and voted upon with the.one sub-} jmitted by Mr. Sawyer being tenta- tively agreed upon. It was shown that it would become necessary to draw up a resolution in conjunc- tion with the final acceptance of the budget, taking care of other matters involved, and this action will be taken at gnother meeting to be held in the near future.
