Byrnes Calls Flat 10 Percent Cut in 1938 Appropriations
Senator Byrnes quoted strong support for a flat 10 percent cut in all 1938 appropriations with exceptions. He estimated the move would trim about $400 million from the budget, aiming to balance deficits projected under Roosevelt’s revised estimates. He urged department executives to adjust within a 10 percent framework while preserving total department totals.

City and Townships Clash Over Fire Engine Purchase
No agreement on bond issue to buy a new fire engine. Two ordinances drafted for a $6,500 bond, with contracts allowing Wakarusa and Grant townships to pay $700 and $250 yearly for 10 years in exchange for Lawrence Fire Department service. Total payments would reach $9,500 over the decade, with the engine primarily serving the townships but available to Lawrence. The current White engine, 20 years old, is costly to repair and a new unit is sought after since no outside counterpart is available. Salvage value from tires and junk is noted.
