is using a great deal of state high­

Some misunderstanding over the
wages to be paid these men arose
and they threatened to stop work If
they did not receive the same salary
which they had been getting from

At the same time the
failure of a tank of oil to arrive left
the men without oil so they couldn’t
work. Gil arrived Sunday and the

BUDGET CHANGES
TALKED BY GUUNGIL
Financial System of City Haa
Not Kept Pace With Other
Changes Says Mayor; Council
Members Meet in Session to
Consider Revising Budget
Drastic changes In the city budget
for the next year were considered by
the members ot the city council In
an informal meeting nt the city hall
Monday evening. A temporary bud­
get had already been prepared and
this was gone over with a fine tooth
comb to find possible methods of
shifting funds from one department
to another without Increasing the cost
of the city government.
No action was taken at the meeting
according to Mayor W. P. Tyson, who
spoke of tbe meeting as an oppor­
tunity for the council members to
consider and discuss various means
of improving the city government and
making the departments more effi­
cient The final action on the budget
will be taken at a meeting this tall,
probably In October when each coun­
cilman will select another taxpayer
and this group will act aa the budget
committee.
Budget Needs Revision
The readjustment ot the budget haa
not kept pace with the other changes
which have been taking place In other
affairs thinks the mayor. Very fre­
quently In the past the city council
aas issued warrants on funds which
had bean budget for various depart­
ments bnt which had not actually
been received. One instance of thia
is the estimated receipts from fines
and licenses which are always in­
cluded In the budget, but which nearly
always fall short about two-thlrda
The receipts from this source have
averaged about 1600 annually for tbe
past several years, while the budget
includes about |1800 from this source.
This Item on the budget Is probably
a carry over from the days ot the
saloon when such sums were received
from fines and licenses, thinks Mr.
Tyson.
Instances Cited
Another instance cited by the mayor
is that of the street department where
the original appropriation was 881.000.
Under the slx-per cent limitation act
it has not been possible to increase
this appropriation as rapidly as the
expenses have mounted. There have
been no surplus funds to shift to
the department so the street fund
has now reached a total of only a
little more than 21700.
No effort is being made by the
councilmen to Increase the income of
the city. It Is their desire to try
to sc shift the funds around ao that
the city can be operated on funds
available without exceeding the six
per cent limitation. It means that
Items such as the tines w ill practi­
cally have- to he stricken from the
budget Other funds will have to be
reduced and the emergency fund will
probably practically done away with.
An effort will be made to appropriate
sufficient operating expenses for each
department if carefully managed and
allow no falling hack on an emergency
reserve when this has been depleted.
The city council have been work­
ing and thinking over this budget
problem for the past three months
and they hope to he able to present
a practicable one to the budget com­
mittee when It holds its meeting.
