Al Quiring was appointed as a member of the library board. It was brought out at the meeting st Friday that financially the city is in -aë", • a bad shape. Expenses during the Yes. : boom days ran high, and with the ex "0, ■ tra police work and other extra ex s’ w X penses of running the city, the city treasurer still has to pay out better Thin than a thousand dollars a month. When the budget committee met last year they allowed more than three thousand dollars as expected revenues ; ft from licenses on pin-ball games, card T ahi . . $ tables, etc. Meanwhile the state po lice clamped down on these devices and consequently the revenue from these hit the bottom. When the next budget committee meets they are al % lowed to increase the taxes only six iit, : ′ ′ .. per cent, but it was brought out that this still would not be enough to meet the rising expenses. Considerable hols - LE) discussion was given a business tax to raise money for city expenses. According to the city attorney, there are only two ways whereby the city can get out of this difficulty, one by i' Bet, a special election to raise the taxes more than the six per cent limitation, or to greatly curtail the expenses of the city. If the latter is undertaken, it will be to the detriment of the city since much street work, water system work ami other things are needed to • %, take care of a city that has more hr than doubled in population during the .7 r, past year.
