Mayor Archie McTaggart says Butte must cut the 1933 34 budget by at least 50 000 to 100 000 from last year as May tax receipts of about 100 000 fall short. Half of May receipts should go to the sinking fund to retire debt with around 40 000 in claims outstanding. Funds available cover only five to six weeks of city operations.
