Budget Passed For District Use With Narrow Cuts
The House approved a budget of 9 826 158 for district use, cutting only 8 600. The city architect and river land inquiry estimates were struck from the bill. Parsons’ 15 000 playground request failed 123 to 96, while representative Slayden’s amendment to reduce cab fare rates passed. The overall expenditure totals 9 616 852 for the year, funded partly from revenues, with most water department costs kept separate. The playgrounds appropriation remained contentious, with a cut to 10 during the year, and other measures moved through committees and floor votes.
