, tending an_informal meeting of the commen ceuncil last might, fought back tw-defenso of the council's tax .~ Felluction for this year which, mem-. bers of ‘the board of finance and taxation had stated, was responsible for the two mills increase they are now recommending. “Is it true that the common coun- cil s blamed for the increase?”’ Alderman Johnson-asked Chalrman E: F. Hall of -the-bearc of finance. “It is true that many-of the items you cut out last year are back here in the budget. We had to lay an extra tax of one-fifth of one mill for school repairs after yeu cut that appropriation. Then there's the re- pair item for No. 4 fire station which you cut out and its back this And you put more money in- ed in the budget and we must pay,” Chairman Hall explained. The chatrman agreed that an ex- tra allowance for road work was offset by a transfer from the re- serve fund for liquor license rebate. Johnson Offers Statistics Alderman Johnson produced - a statement signed by Comptroller Hanford L. Curtis showing the city now has a balance of $70,673.39 more thun it had on the correspond- ing'day of last year. Nearly every department has more money now than it had last year and this, the aldermman declared, is to. the credit of Mayor Paonessa and the coun- cil members who voted against the higher tax last year. Chairman Hall pointed out that the funds derived from the extra tax have not yet been put to use since schools are now operating and this accounts for $20,000 of the in- crease while other departments have large expenses to meet before the end of the fiscal year. “Anyway,” Johnson declared, lay- ing down his papers, “it proves that we did well and got along on a rate of 26 mills."” The alderman’s insistence some- what nettled Chairman Hall, who snswered: “Gus, that's not a fair statement, gnd you know it fsn't!" Sal Blames School Board Councilmah S8amuel Sablotsky de- tlared against the high tax. He sharged that the school department has the city fn expense to a point | tion would be advisable. ‘The alderman was of the belief that too much work is being done on the outskirts of the city, and not enough in the center, but Mayor Paonessa disputed this claim point. ing out that many outlying proper- ties are not tenanted because of Jm- passable road conditiona. “Is there any chance of this crowd living long enough to see that main artery, Stanley street, taken care of as was planned when an appropri- ation was made two years go?" Alderman Walter R. Falk asked. “I'm afraid nof was the dis. couraging answer of the chairman. Would Allpw Four Policemen Alderman John F. Maers suggest- ed that no new traffic signals be purchased this year, but that the money provided for that prupose be turned into a clothing allo policemen, Alderman Zapat! with this suggestion. Maerz later suggested that the grant of funds for eight new patrolmen be reconsidered that four be allowed and the re- mainder of the fund constitute a clothing allowance. ‘The likelthood of a saving on the supernumerary payroll was mention- ed by Alderman Nair in connection with the appointment of regulars to 1ill the beats now patrolled by super- numeraries, When Alderman Zapatka noticed an allowance for three lieutenants of police ke sald that there are only two at present. The alderman is leader of opposjtion to the ereating of a lleutenant of detectives, a pro. posal which comes before the cgm- mon councll Wednesday fight. Long discussion attended consider- ation of the police board's request for four automobiles and for dis- placement of four motorcycles. Re- plying to questions, Chairman Hall #ald the motorcycle mén are to be transferred to automobiles and that the other machines will be used in | time of parades or for special work. Some of the council members faver- ed no allowance for new motorcy- cles, Fire Depart; Discusslon Considering the purchase of a new Alderman Nair asked if the Na- tional Board of Fire Underwriters recommends the six additional men for which allowance was made, and he was told that such was the case. This {s 14 less men than the nation- al board deems necessary, - it was brought out. The advisbility of establishing & venereal clinic was discussed and it waa agreed that it is a desirable ap- propriation. The cost is $5.000. Accounts of other departments and. special appropiations were ex- plained by Chairman Hall.and were briefly discussed.
