Phoenix Schedules Meeting Tomorrow , On Budget Election Phoenix A public hearing will be held tomorrow at 8 p.m. In the Phoenix Community club hall concerning the city budget election Tuesday on exceeding the six per cent increase limita tion by $10,370.91, according to Mrs. Curt Fisher, city recorder. Exactly the same budget which was defeated June 6 by a vote of 85 to 33 will be re-submitted to the people, Mrs. Fisher said, by order of the city council. She said this decision was based on the conviction by the mayor and council that "if the people fully understand the budget they will pass it." The recorder said that most people don't realize that "failure to allow the money asked for will mean loss of the city's fire truck, which is being purchased on a lease basis of $2,000 a year, plus depreciation, and no police department." She explained that the state law governing budget matters will only allow a six percent in . crease unless a special election f Is held for any amount over this. Because the city's tax base is so small, the allowable amount for the last fiscal year ($269.14) can only be raised to $285.29 for 1952-53. The amount over the limita 614.46 in 1951-52 down to the tion has been cut from $18, $10,370 asked for now by means of raising minimum water rates from $2 to $2.50, and by increas ed revenues from the state liq uor tax which is general through out the state. City councilmen have pointed out that the proposed business tax is not included in the bud get and that salary increases ap ply only to the police and water departments, where a $25 month ly increase is asked.

"Bill" Alexander, na tional chaplain of the Republi can Party, has been sued for di vorce by his wife, who charges that he treats her more like "a J servant than a wife and com panion."

Personality Subjugated She said that during her mar riage her personality was entire ly subjugated, and that the normal considerations a husband has for the expressions and opin ions of a wife are absent. The petition stated that Alex ander's temperament Is such "that plaintiff's status more near ly approaches that of a servant than of a wife and companion." Mrs. Alexander asked for cus tody of their children, Ralph, 14, Don, 13, and Ann, 4. She asked for reasonable child sup port and maintenance.
