King Would Cut OfT Councilman Michael 17, King asked it money could not be saved by elim- inating the office of personal tax col- inerease year, wonder week should by 80 n i out lector. The mayor udmitted that this | | would be possible, but said that a charter amendment would he neces- sary. Paonessa On Institute. Alderman A, M, Paonessa asked why a cut could not be made in the Institute item of $30,000, The chair- man explained that $33,000 was given last year and that the income this year had dwindled on account of an investment in real estate. Rice Objects to Cut Councilman Henry Rice moved an amendmend to the proposed budget to have the item of “teaching day schools” increased from $493,5642 to $548,380. This amendment calculated to override the proposed 10 per cent cut. 4 Alderman Gill felt there would be a tangle if such procedurc was fol- lowed out through all the items. He favored adjournment until the budget was whipped into shape with the 10 per cent set aside. Salarics Come up Last Mr. Chamberlain sugested that the go through all the items but then return to take up individually or col- board salaries and those matters lectively. Councilman Rice agreed that this would be better precedure and with- draw his amendment. Moves Budget Alderman R. Gilpatric moved that the entire budget be adopted. He stated that he came to the coundil with the intention of voting against the proposed estimates, but had been convinced that now is the time to economize. He asked that the coun- cil indicate confidence in its finance board by accepting the report. Porter Excepts Salaries Councilman Porter amended that the budget, with the exception of salary items, he accepted. Alderman Gill assured the council that he had confidence in the finance bourd, yet he felt that there were some members who would skin an in- sect for its hide. He was unquali- fiedly against the horizontal cut. Gilpatric Explains Plan Alderman Gilpatric explained that it was not proposed to put a 10 per Adoption {cent cut into effect, but rather to lop off 10 per cent from the salary lists and require the several boards to apportion the reductions. Alderman Puonessa felt it would do no good to cut the school teachers’ pay, and that the wages of police and firemen should not be touched. Councilman Hart Up Councilman Howard S. Hart, leader in the movement for a straight 10 per cent cut, was the next speaker. “A big majority of the voters and taxpayers want a 10 per cent cut,’ Counciiman Hart said. “They are de manding a budget as low at least as that recommended by the board of finance and taxation. The salary com- mittee did. not do its work as it should, or it would have been study-| ing the salary question for the past six months and much of the present confusion might have been avoided. “I have received 705 replies to my letter to first ward voters of which 650 favor a cut in salaries; 36 are opposed and 12 are of divided opin- fon, believing that certain cuts should be made, buta straight reduc- tion should be avoided.

The vote stood 112 to 12, Mayor Curtis asked [that the two members who did not |vote express their wishes in another |standing vote, One member lined up with each faction and the vete was |13 to 13. Mayor Curtis broke the tie by voting against the amendment to |the amendment. On the orfginal | amendment, to hoost the pay to its| present amonunt, the vote was again {13 to 13 and the mayor once more broke the tie in the school superin- tendent's favor. Councilman Rice's amendment to cut the attendance bureau appropria- tion 10 per cent was lost and that item remained at $4,050. Medical Inspection Stands On motion of Councilman Porter, the medical inspection item was al- lowed to stand at $5,000 instead of being cut 10 per cent as was proposed. Councilman King moved that the school census item remain at $500, The recommendation was adopted. The Same for Clerks Alderman Wells felt that the item of clerks should be cut to 87,200 while Councilman Porter was in favor of continuing it at $8300. The larger amount was voted, Councilman Rice’'s amendment to boost the evening school item from the proposed $8,100 to $9,000 as re- quested was lost.

The mo- tion was carried. Bills totalling $41,633.08 were ap- proved and ordered paid. In the claim of John Capewell for damages resulting from a fall on Clark street, the claims committee ad- vised that the claim was not well founded and recommended that the petitioner be given leave to withdraw. It was so voted on motion of Coun- cilman Gardner Weld. Damages of $10 were awarded Mrs. Mary Kramer. for injurles resulting from a fall on Kast Main street. The committee on supplies and printing was authorized to have print- ed and bound, 200 copies of the char ter and ordinances. A communication was received from the hoard of police commission- ers setting forth that the ftire chief's old car is not wanted at the muni- cipal garage as it has lost several “vital parts” and would be a source of great expense. It was voted to give leave to the board to find some other method of disposing of the car. The park commission reported that, in its opinion, a suitable name for the south end park would be. “Willow Brook Park,” and for the playground to be constructed therein, “Memorial IField.” Alderman Paonessa objected to naming the park “William 1%, Brooks which it had been taken. Alderman |Gill favored this proposition.

Mayor Curtis was not in accord | with a move to take up the salary | item as a whole, explaining that there were items which must be taken out in their entirety and others where a reduction has already been made. | As an instance, he explained that there is an appropriation in the burg- let for a second assistant electrical | ingpector although this position has not been created; also un increase for the fire chief, that has since been downed, is contained in the report. 2134 Mill Rate Mr. Chamberlain suggested that the | council fix the tax at 19% mills in | the first district and 21 mills in the | second district, making a tax rate of 21% mills, and that a sub committee be instructed to revamp the salary |items by adding 10 per cent. where | cuts have been made, keeping within this rate. The mayor spoke in an optimistic | vein on the possibilities of further re- | ducing the tax rate. He felt that | this matter should be left open. | Report Back Tonight.

Councilman Porter objected to the site on the grounds that the park is being gradually cut away and at somne later date the comfort statlon plans might be changed; also that it is too far removed from the source of heat.

The estate has been father to son since 1703. “Local and imperial taxes are too much for me,” the Marquis told an interviewer. “Like Jack Sprat and spouse they leave nothing. A RBritish noble lord, with no vote in such matter, is in a class with paupers and lunatics. Times arc changed and we are changed with them,” he phil- osophized.
