City Council Smooths Budget Wrinkle at Special Session
The City Council met in special session with President Sennett at the Chicago Democratic convention as the sole absentee. The $44 017 appropriation for street construction must appear in the 1940 tax levy, not 1939, with $22 017 from the reserve fund and $22 000 from WPA. A loan of 178 000 for public welfare was advanced to second reading after explanation, and the auditor’s letter indicated banks would endorse the loan plan.

1940 Tax Rate To Be Announced Soon
City Auditor McKenzie says the 1940 rate will be released shortly. Assessor Jas J Casey and Mayor Lyons met with Casey and Fallon to discuss a message from Tax Commissioner Long about deducting preliminary and supplementary 1939 appropriations of about 343000 from the 1940 levy.
