New committees will be appointed for the city's business and the new budget will come Into effect. Under the new budget an in crease of $12,695 in taxes will be noted. Running expenses in the city are not responsible for the increase, the budget shows, but the jump lies in bonded indebted ness largely dealing with street improvement and sewer bonds which were voted some years ago. Improvements voted during the past year bring up the millage less than three mills it is stated. A $2000 cut in county road taxes accounts for some of the in crease in the local budget, it is also reported. The budget allows $14,6&5 for running expenses for the year. Of this $4660 is levied by direct vote. The city's total in debtedness stands at $165,399.74, of which $16,000 is due in 1940. Another item which the present city council voted for the coming year was uniformed police offi cers. Each officer is allowed a $60 increase in salary to cover the uniform.
