Past Budgeting
Policies Raise
aint
(Story also on page 1.)
Several Salerft city budget polic
ies of recent years provoked com
plaints from city budget commit
teemen Tuesday night at city hall,
but specific recommendations were
left for a June 13 meeting.
Alderman Daniel J. Fry urged
the establishment of a larger emer
gency fund by pruning the budget
to bare essentials. Then, said Fry.
as unforeseen, needs arise throue.fi
the year, the city council could
meet them by careful allocations
from the emergency fund.
Fry said a $25jfc(K) Emergency
fund would be advisSSir and City
Manager J, L. Franzen, author of
the '$1,658,000 budget, said an even
larger emergency fund would be
preferable. Franzen added, how
ever, that he had already pruned
the budget drastically.
Under his budget proposal, the
emergency fund would be $11,873
if a pending city occupations tax
is adopted and only $3,000 if it
fails.
The $1,658,000' budget includes
for the first time ; this year an
estimate-Df $180,000 for citizens
oaid street improvements under
Bancroft act bonding. Putting this
estimate into the budget will per
mit, under a new law. city bor
rowing at lower interest rate than
the 3 per cent now paid on bank
warrants.
This makes the budget actually
only about $90,000 over last year's.
The general fund is within the 6
per cent increase limitation. Tax
levy will approximate $326,094, as
compared with $307,636 last year.
Alderman Albert H. Gille criti
cized the practice of paying all op
erations of the city park depart
ment from the 1-mill park tax
levy,-"which was intended for
park Improvements when the vot-.
ers passed it."
Alderman David O'Hara raised
a similar issue over the city's
2-mill street tax, declaring that
the legislature several years 2fl
earmarked part of the state gas
tax for cities on the understanding
it would reduce local taxes. "Now
we have both tax funds year af
ter year,' he noted. t
Alderman Fry also brought crit
icism on grounds that the general
form of the city budget permits
indiscriminate transfer of funds.
