Even with the budget of $72,600,000 as Curtailed, the City anticipates further tax delinquencies, and this will necessitate the issuance of refunding securities.

With the aid already advanced by the Reconstruction Finance and the authority for refunding provided by the State Loan Commission, City Controller G. Hall Roosevelt Is of the opinion that a solution has been found for the financial troubles of the local Government. Mr. Roosevelt's belief Is based upon the assurances received from manufacturers that they also will assist in the promotion of the sale of emergency bonds In the sum of $20,000,000 next January. The budget as now prepared and upon which taxes have been collected has the indorsement of the, larger taxpayers of Detroit.

These taxpayers have agreed to meet their taxes, due in December, in advance in order to provide financial aid to the City. The committee of industrialists who assisted in the working out of the Mayor's plan are unanimously opposed to the $61,000,000 proposal. The Committee pn Ci'y Finances, which also has been assisting the City officials, has gone on record as opposed to the amendmet, along with the Michigan Manufacturers Association. These groups are satisfied that financial crisis will be averted with the defeat of the amendment. Romeo Chooses Its Peach Queen ft i I College Girl Picked to Rule Festival ROMEO.

a 1 jthe i Disbursement of $443100 among Welfare creditors Saturday resulted In assurance from grocers that food aupplies for Detroit's 21,392 indigent families will continue. Payments were made out of the Welfare Department's portion of current tax collections and are ex pected to bolster the City's credit until tne 9MMMJUU loan irom me Reconstruction Finance Corp. be-comea available In 10 days. An opinion was given by Clarence E. Wilcox, corporation counsel, that the $700,000 of current taxes allotted to the Welfare Department, could be disbursed according to necessity.

Allocation Held Legal In a letter to H. J. Herbst, deputy city treasurer, Mr. Wilcox stated: "It Is my opinion that the City has right to allocate funds and pay liuch debts as good judgment and necessity dictate should be paid ven though the amount is gTeater than a pro rata percentage." He explained, however, that such action must be approved by the Common Council. Previousis Welfare billa have been paid in chronological order.

A total of $2,650,000 was owed for upplies given the indigent. The largest check was given to the Kroger Grocery at Baking Co. for The A. P. Stores were given $40,862.94.

$10,000,000 lian Seen This is the first money thejie firms have received since May 24, when Welfare funds were exhausted. (In only two days, last Monday and Tuesday, have Welfare clients failed to receive their grocery allowances. When City officials gave assurance that grocers' bills wouU be paid promptly the line of credit was re-established. Clarence E. Page, assistant corporation counsel, returned from Washington with a ropy of the contract between the City and corporation for ratification by the Common Council at a special session Monday.

The contract opens the way for the $10,000,000 in Federal aid which Mayor Murphy has stated will he necessary to meet Welfare needs in the present fiscal year. Its provisions are broad and flexible, the principal clause stating: "There will be delivered to this corporation the agreement of said City of Detroit to repay said sum with interest at the rate of 3 per cent per annum, such agreement to be expressed by the Issue and delivery to this corporation of certain bonds of the City of Detroit, known as 'City of Detroit Emergency In the aggregate principal amount of $1,800,000 of an authorized issue of $10,000,000, maturing not more than three years from date hereof, and bearing interest at the rate of 6 per rent per annum, payable semi-annually." Tent Plan (lets Setback The money is to be paid through the Detroit Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. While Supt. John F. Ballenger's feeding problem apparently was solved tor several months, arrangement Tot sheltering evicted fami- lies in tents were given a setback.

Plans had been made to Borrow 300 Michigan National Guard tents. Guard officers discovered Saturday that the City would have to give guarantees to protect the equipment before it could be released. The tents belong to the Federal Government and it may be necessary for the Common Council and Gov. Brucker to complete negotiations for the tents. A general Welfare conference will be held Monday morning in Mayor Murphy's office.

Attending will be V. S. Carptenter, Michigan Welfare director; Controller G. Hall Roosevelt. Mayor Murphy, Mr.

Wilcox and Mr. Page. Topics will In clude arrangements to borrow from local bankers If needs become acute before the Federal loan is paid, and what welfare aid the Stale might give Detroit, in accordance with Federal requirements, during the coming winter. City to Seek Highway Funds for Public Welfare Purposes Detroit may seek to change the State laws in order to divert the millions collected from the gasoline and weight taxes to public welfare purposes, Mayor Frank Murphy announced Saturday. He has asked Corporation Counsel Clarence E.

Wilcox to find legal means of diverting these funds, which are now used for the maintenance and construction of new roads. Mayor Murphy said that the matter of diverting road funds to welfare purposes would he advanced by the City at this time, if legally possible, in order that candidates for State offices may commit themselves upon the proposal. Millions Spent on Roads "Millions of dollars are now being expended throughout Michigan to build new roads and the highway program could be suspended without Injuring the State, and the funds used for welfare." Mayor Murphy stated. "Two or three years hence the State could again resume it highway construction program." Mr. Wilcox.

Controller G. Hall Roosevelt and John F. Ballenger, superintendent of public welfare, will confer with the Chief Executive on Monday relative to plans for the financing of the Welfare Department during the next 11 months of the fiscal year. The City's petition for further relief through the Reconstruction Finance Corp. also will be prepared at this meeting.

Tightening of Iians Seen The Mayor expressed the opinion that while Detroit will undoubtedly obtain further relief from the R. F. that it will be necessary for the Federal authorities to tighten up on loans. The proposal that monies collected from the gasoline tax and the weight tax be diverted to the use of the cities was made several months ago. It was stated at Lansing at that time that this was a privilege tax and that the funds could only be used for road purposes.

Building construction in Denmark continues to be active. Income tax was paid by 4,000,000 people In England this year.

Mr. Edwards wrote: "When you ran that story sometime back of crippled Cornelius and his reactions at the prospect of en- Joying his first bed all to himself at tn'' Air Camp, a few things happened over here at the Sheriff's office.

Boys and Girls, Too "The story played tricks with the emotions of plenty of us. That's the reason for the enclosed check of $100.

Too many shoeless kids, too many hungry families.

That's why we' didn't get the check over to you sooner. "Maybe you know of 10 little fellows who never had beds all their own at home. Not necessarily boys, of course. Girls, too! If you do, perhaps this check from Sheriff Behrendt's men will bring them some happiness." Appeals made through the Free Press during the week for Don and Bob.
