was held by council members.
It was noted that expenses!
in three departments of the
city for the past fiscal year
had increased, considerably,
over last. The three depart
ments cited were the police,
water and sewer and main
tenance to city equipment.
Earlier this year the city
council raised the wages of
all city employees. It was
further noted that most city
equipment was in “run down”
condition.
The present city assessment
is being made according to
the program now employed by
the City of Anchorage. The
Rev. John Marshall is now
employed by the city to make
the assessment. He earlier
spent a week in Anchorage
receiving instructions in
assessment work.
A decision to increase the
present millage rate within
the city will not be made by
the council until the assess
ment and the new city budget
are completed.
The council also discussed
holding a city election regard
ing the levying of a city sales
tax. If the council decides to
ask for a sales tax an election
must be held, Such an election
would be held at the time the
city holds its regular election.

Cubs, stubbornly continue
their struggle to stay in the
sun.
On the othe hand the Cardi
nals and White Sox, after a
slow start, are making their
long-awaited move. Both have
begun to put added pressure
on the pace-setting Brooklyn
Dodgers and New York Yan
kees.
During the first half of the

the Giants. The Cards and
the Philadelphia Phils, ex

The Phils, under new man
