Objectors Insinuate That Of- "| ficials’ Greatest Consid- eration Is Salary. *, For the first time in the history of thé "Board of Estimate its member wm of- MMctally debate the question of the city's budget with the taxpayers. This was epided upon to-day following a lively {hearing before the board, when several Shundred citizens gathered to protest through thelr spokesmen against creases of departmental estimates and to! suggest at the same time certain re- ductions, As the hearing progressed clashes be- tween the speakers and the members of the board, chiefly the Mayor, Comptrol- and President of the Board of Alder- , occurred. Several speakers pro- \fested against the “remarkable extrava- Bances" of the city administration, and sumed that reckless hands were wan- nly wasting the city's funds. CNarges openly and insinuations that civic pride did not Wholly prompt the efforts of elected of- Acials from the Mayor down in behalt SAfithe city, but rather that these officials 'eparded only the salary of their respec- tve offices.

At the end of the bearing a compro- mise was effected between the officials jand the leaders of the protestants. It ‘was that an entire day next Friday ‘Would be accorded all wishing to present concrete plans and instances showing * fwherein moneys can be saved to the city. Can Save Millions. Many of the leaders present declared they would be on hand witf plans ex- Plaining how millions of dollars can be Saved to the city. “If any of you gent’emen can show Me where the budget can be pruned with advantage to the city. you shall have my three votes in this board,” Said the Mayor. "Me, too,” exclaimed Comptroller Metz, and then there was a cheer. (The Greater New York Taxpayers’ Conference, representing the bulk of @he taxpayers’ associations in the city, fsked through its spokesman that New York be given the best government in the world, “We are paying millions for Bovernment and we want the best gov- rnment possible,” was the slogan. ator Brush, for the conference, urged & business-like management, economic, Dut not niggusdly. bours of work be exacted from city employees, with adequate but not ex- {avagant compensation, Defined by the Law.
