Mr. Grout started the argument when President Ahearn, of Manhattan, ore- sented his budget asking for an increase over the allowance for 194 of more than $1,500,000, such an Increase,” the Comptroller sald. “You would not sign the budget yourself if all the Increases asked for were wranted, Let us get down to facts, and I do not believe there fe ¢. man at this teble who would vote to Increase the | tax lewy $15,000,000, No Increase of Tax Levy. “I do not want any Increase tn th» tax levy."
