Seven of the usual number of play
ground directors and at least half of
the annual Summer park band concerts
fell victims to the City Council budget
pruning knife at the windup of the
council budget meetings yesterdav
The band concert appropriation was
trimmed from $10,000 for 60 concerts
to J0000 for 30 concerts, and $1540 in
salaries of seven playground directors
was cut off. These "economies" were
put through over the vigorous protest
or Commissioner Baker.
Commissioner Dieck made the move
Bgalnst the park band concerts, savin
that the city"s finances are such that
the usual number of concerts is not
advisable. He said he would favor in
creasing the amount during next year
.i any jjiuney oecomes available.
Mr. Baker Opposes Cut.
"Forget that part of it," said Com
missioncr Baker. "If you cut it out
of the budget you won't have any
J...J.11.-.Y i appropriate, -j no band con
tort is the one thing in my budget
iiiac x positively want left in. The
iiarK Dana concerts are of a great
benefit, thousands of people enjoying
the music during the Summer months.
1 he poor and the people of ordinary
means get more out of this annual
S 10,000 park band appropriation than
from any other appropriation the city
makes. It is the poor people's Summer
musical entertainment."
But the concert plan fell by majority
vote of the Council. Mr. Baker voted
against the motion to cut the appro
priation in two, while Commissioners
JJieck, Bigelow, Daly and Mayor Albee
voted the other way. The Mayor made
puim. vi appropriating additional
money during the Summer If there is
any money available.
Again Mr. Baker told the Council to
forget that plan, because, he said, there
would be no surplus money next year.
IMilTBi-otind Appropriation Cot.
When the band concerts had been
knifed the Council turned attention
upon the playground directors. There
were 42 in the service last Summer,
and Mr. Baker had asked for the same
number for next year. He explained
that, while there is great demand and
need for additional directors to have
c harge of children at playgrounds not
now having an attendant, he had not
asked for an increase beyond the pres
ent year's appropriation.
The majority of the Council Dieck
Mayor Albee and Daly could not see it
that way, and instead of following Mr.
Baker's recommendation, trimmed out
1T.40 in salaries. Mr. Baker savs this
means seven of the present Playground
directors.
"That's bad business." said Mr. Baker,
as the knife dropped on the appro
priation. Finishing with this operation, the
ouncil proceeded to lop oft odds and
'nds of items. The total cuts amounted
to J1925 in small items, which, with
the band concert and playground di
rptcor cuts, made & total reduction of
JS465 in the department.
The Council finished its work yes
terday and adjourned until 9 o'clock
tomorrow morning, when the first
fion will be held with the citizens' ad
visory committee appointed some time
