City council adopts 1931 appropriation for schools and services
The council approved a 1931 appropriation ordinance totaling 944 425 for the city next year with a 7 665 rise over last year due to police and fire expansion. The budget lowers the tax rate despite higher spending, aided by increased property valuation. Entailed are funds for general, safety, health, services, parks and specific subsystems, with a sinking fund of 42 150 to retire city bonds. A 48 000 carryover balance was noted by City Auditor Alex Schilleman.

New Method of Paying for Prisoner Feeding Increases Cost
Lorain county shifts to contract feeding at 21 cents per meal or 63 cents per day starting Jan 1 1931. Sheriff grants contract to Mrs Adams who has fed prisoners for two years under the old system. Total annual cost rises about 9 000 dollars from under 6 000 in 1930, a 50 percent increase, though commissioners cite efficiency and bulk-purchasing benefits. The plan may yield 12 cent profit per meal to the contractor if volumes match last year’s 43 100 meals. Menu outlines a weekly cycle of meals for county jail inmates.
