GOP Ready to Call Vote On Sales Tax Referendum
The Republican majority on the Common Council prepared to pass a bill appropriating 8000 for a public referendum on the sales tax. Mayor Corcoran was expected to veto on counsel George L. Richardson's advice. Observers debated GOP plans to adjourn and possibly pass over the veto, sending the measure to the Democratic controlled Board of Estimate for final action. The long term outlook tied to a 2 percent sales tax renewal with varied predictions for 1951 and 1952 budgets. In other action the Finance Committee was set to report favorably on a 34900 fire department truck purchase without bids.

City Workers May Get Saturday Off
MCPRELL K. BREWSTER, Republican leader, planned to introduce a local law to give city employees Saturdays as year round holidays. Mayor Corcoran backs the measure though council passage on Sept 5 is forecast. The proposal would require two week tabling and adds a half hour to weekday hours to compensate. The Civil Service Employer Association backs Saturday holidays.

Draft Board To Send 8d 3 Up for Exams
Draft boards plan sending their second contingents of selectees to pre induction examinations Wednesday at the Chimes building induction center. All three city and county boards have sent initial quotas but await reporting details from Selective Service. The second quotas will be larger than the first, with younger men replacing earlier 14 and 25 year olds. The Defense Department confirms registrants 19 to 26 are subject to the draft within age limits, even if joined organized reserves since the law took effect June 24, 1948. Syracuse induction station notes volunteers may choose their branch before notices of pre induction examinations. Syracuse University will expand its reserve officer training program this fall, and Air National Guard elements arrived at Griffiss Air Base for a two week training schedule.
