At the regulur meeting of the board
of city commissioners last night the
quarterly report of the city book-
keeper was read also the annual re-
port for tho fiscal year just ended.
Tho regular monthly salary list was
checked up and allowed and reports
from the heads of various depart-
ments were heard.
The city Is going to have to run
moro economically the coming year
according to the mayor and commis-
sioners and there will have to be
some trimming done In all depart-
ments. Perhaps the first to feel the
effects of this retrenchment move-
ment will bo the police department.
It has already been suggested that at
leaRt two men in the police depart-
ment be let out Chief Booker does
not look kindly upon this suggestion
however as he contends that for a
city of this size it needs every man
It has in order to give proper pro
tection to property. However he
stated last night that if the board
ordered the cut he would make it and
do tho best he could under the cir
cumstances for the protection of the
city.
Just when the retrenchment will
begin was not stated but it seems
certain that it will be soon as the
assessment of tho city as rendered
this year is going to make It neces-
sary to retrench somewhere in order
to make ends meet.
