Out 1931 Budget
Showing Saving
At the council meeting Mon
day night a tentative budget
was submitted and discussed.
The budget as prepared calls
for a total of $11,000, which
shows a decrease of $503. The
budget for 1930 was $11.503.
This is quite a saving over the
previous year.
Nov. 12 the budget com
mittee, consisting of H. P. Jew
ett, C. G. Duncan, J. E. Vin
cent. A. J. Melton, George Wal
lace ai>d S. J. Rchardon, will
meet to give the figures the
oace over. It is thought likely
that the budget will receive the
O. K. of the committee.
When we consider that other
cities are increasing the ex
penses of city government,* it
looks pretty good for Central
Point to operate on a cash ba
sis of nder previous years, ra

The good and the bad are still
coming along, hand in hand, in the
news. Here's a dispatch from Wash
ington that opens with the state
ment that the exports of cotton to
the Far East increased 17 per cent
in the first six months of this year,
over the same period in 1930. That
is very comforting, is it not? " E x
ports of all American merchandise!
to the Far East during the first six!
months of this year showed a reduc
tion of 33 per cent compared with
the same period in 1930.”
