COUNCIL PLANS TO REDUCE PAY OF HIGHER-UPS Hogue Declares Strict Economy Necessary to Avert City Bankruptcy. JEWETT RULE BLAMED Cuts in the wages and salaries of the more highly-paid city employes and officials are under consideration by the city council and department heads today as a means of paring expenses to avoid municipal bankruptcy before the end of 1922. Corporation Counsel Taylor E. Groninger is under instructions to prepare a list of salaries and wages that might be cat to be submitted at a series of conferences of department heads and eouncilmen. The financial sltnation was laid before the eouncilmen and principal officials by Controller Joseph L. Hogue Thursday evening. The situation is not grave, but it is such every department must practice strict economy in order not to exhaust the treasury before the end of the year. It has been the custom for many years to let bills for the last one or two months of the year lay over until appropriations for the following year are available. Mr. Hogue said he desires to avoid this and pay bills promptly, in order the city may take advantage of discounts. PROBLEM IS TO MEET PAY ROLLS. The immediate problem in the finance department is how to meet pay rolls until the April advance of tax money is received from the country treasurer. Mr. Hogue said. There is about $130,000 in the general fund. April 1 a pay roll of about $92,000 mart be paid. Other expenses will cut the balance in the fund to about $15,000 after that rate. Another $02,000 pay roll is due April 15. If the tax advance, which probably will be something over $200,000, comes in before April 15, the emergency will be met. If not, it will be rather difficult to tide over, the controller said. The situation would not have been quite so bad if the Jewett administration had not left so many unpaid bills to cut up the $136,000 balance which it left In the treasury when the Shank administration came in. according to the controller. Financial comfort during the rest of the year might have been more in evidence, tio, if the Jewett administration had c >t cut the budget to a point where maty necessary expenses are absolutely unprovided for, the controller said. For Instance, he pointed out that no provision was made in the budget and the tax levy for the SIOB,OOO interest on Memorial riaza bonds, which must be paid this year. WALKER POINTS OCT DIFFICULTY. John F. Walker, superintendent of street cleaning, pointed out where the Jewett administration provided SIO,OOO for maintenance in 1321, it appropriated only $27,000 for maintenance and SIOS.000 for salaries for the Shank administration this year. The street commissioner’s department felt the Jewett budget knife even more. Commissioner Martin J. Hyland said. In 1921 the Jewett administration allowed itself a total of $32,000 for new equipment in the unimproved street, carpenter and sewer departments, but left this regime not a penny. Iu addition, the unimproved street maintenance fund wascut from $85,0 O to $50,000. This will be exhausted by November, the commissioner believes. Among unpaid bills left by the former regime is one <*f sl.soo for architects who screw plans for two new fire stations, fchtoh were not erected. The p! ins were ftavn before >lte- were selected.

4 Panther Men ’ Spring Upon Victims in African Province PARIS, March 24.—“ Panther men.” who sprang upon their human victims, tearing the throats of men and women with their teeth and eating portions of their bodies, have been found in the Conakry district of French Guinea, in West Africa, according to reports reaching here today. The report stated twenty natives have been sentenced to death in the courts at Conakry and Forecariah after having been found guilty of this rare form at cannibalism. Priests and sorcerers among the natives, it was said, worked themselves into a frenzy and then slew their victims, imagining themselves to be panthers.
