Had the reply been, “Gentlemen, we believe you are right and will adopt your recommenda tions in the interest of economy,” the delegation would have gone home rejoicing that the taxeaters had all been fired and the taxwasters routed. Had there been no fur ther reductions—and the group had nothing to offer along that line—they would have gone home, also, to a $54,000 increase in taxes next year. $60,000 additional had to be raised to take care of outstanding warrants, and the sug gestions for reduction totaled approximately $6,000. The budget committee saw the problem more clearly than did their advisers, and accomplished an effective re duction despite the unavoidable increase in the warrant item.
