JF GITYJUDGET?
DIRE RUMORS CURRENT THAT
PRECIOUS DOCUMENT HAS
BEEN LAID ON TABLE
POPULAR BEFORE ELECTION
Voters Now Wondering if "Economic"
Administration Will Make Good
on Budget
Why is a budget?
This is the question which is
bothering a great many Oregon City
people at this time. They are won
dering whether or not the much
talked of Oregon City budget, which
was to be the measure of municipal
expenditures for the year 1915, has
been laid on the shelf, pigeon-holed
in regular senate fashion, or simply
forgotten altogether, now that the
election is over.
Nothing has been heard or seen
of the precious document, which look
ed so good to the taxpeyers about
these parts some few months ago.
Some of the real skeptical ones are
hinting dire things of the budget;
that it has been forgotten altogether
by the city dads; that little effort is
being made to conform to its provis
ions or limitations of city mdeDted
ness, and some have even gone so far
and have become so impudent as to
state that the measure was but po
litical pottage, principally.
It will be remembered that "econ
omy" was the slogan, and "bugdet"
the pass-word of the present admin
istration. In fact some few election
promises handed out during the last
real warm municipal campaign, were
to the effect that some ' candidates
were running on the "budget" plat
form, and would insist on a strict
compliance with the well defined
terms and limitations of the docu
ment prepared about that time by
the. strenuous labors of the city
fathers.
Again, why is a budget?
Oregon City people wanted mu
nicipal relief. The economy talk
sounded good and the budget idea
looked like a best bet. Expenditures
had to be reduced at all cost. The
city must get down to .business.
Anyhow the Jones' administration
succeeded itself and the cuts began.
The knife was sharpened and it look
ed like easy sailing for a week or two.
Then there slowly developed an antip
athy toward the slicing operations.
Wednesday night at council meet
ing Chief Shaw's salary was fixed at
$30.00, a $15.00 raise over that de
cided upon Beveral weeks ago, when
the chief's monthly "per" was cut
to $75.00, pursuant to the general
economy slogan as evidenced by the
budget. It may go back to $100.00
at the next meeting. Such action
would not be surprising to the people
of Oregon City.
It's up to the Jones' administra
tion to make good on the economy sl
gan or a mighty wail will be voiced
by the citizens before the year is out.'
A promise is a promise and a cut
cut and the knife should fall on
political friends and enemies alike.
