Estimate for 1937 Based on $550,000 Increase in Budget Requests.
SALARIES ARE BIG ITEM
Promise to Restore Wage Slashes Is Reiterated by Boetcher.
BY JERRY SHERIDAN
A city tax rate increase of approximately 10 cents appeared possible today, with the indicétion that budget increase requests ‘would total approximately $550,000.
The Municipal Airport budget was filed today. The amount sought is $200 in excess of the current budget. Walter C. Boetcher, city controlier, who reiterated Mayor Kern's prcmise of salary increases, averaging about 7'2 per cent, said the oudgets were not sufficiently near completion to give a full picture of the tax situation. Estimates based on the budgets already filed would bring general department increases to approximately $315,000. ‘Salaries which last year totaled $3,113,110 are to be increased 7% per cent, or about $235,000. This would bring the total salaries asked in the 1937 budget to $3,348,110. Salary and other increases, including those in the -Gamewell, fire, police, city engineer, plan commission and other departments would total $550,000 in additional taxes to be raised by the civil city.
Replacements Held Needed
Department heads have said replacement is necessary in equipment. Automobiles now in use in many cases have had. as much as 125,000 miles of service, while road equipment is obsolete and wasteful, they said. Police and fire department pay resiorations are now before the council as an ordinance. . Held in committee several months, the measure was kept from vote last meeting. by a request for further consideration. A survey of wages and classifications in ¢ity positions made for Mayor Kern by the Chamiber of Commerce = showed, he said, many esepancles in obs paying similar
The salary increase asked in the 1087 budget is expected to equezlize some of these wide variations, the Mayor said. - Members of the City Council have pledged themselves to reduce. the budgets when they . are presented Aug. 17.. Controller Boetcher invited council members to several budget sessions, but only four members have attended. He plans at least one more session pefore presenting the final budget figures to the council. ‘

Rome Convinced All Truce Efforts Are Doomed to Failure. DUCE MAY BACK HITLER
Mussolini Said to Be Considering How Far He Can Go.
BY STEWART BROWN " (Copyright, 1936, by United Press)
ROME, Aug. 8.—There is growing conviction here that the effort to effect a neutrality agreement in the Spanish revolt is doomed to failure. Diplomats believe that failure will bring the gravest crisis in all Europe’s posiwar his-
Premier Benito Mussolini was believed to be considering today how far to go, in event there.is no neutrality agreement, in aiding the Spanish Fascist rebels.
Italy’s sympathies, so far as the Fascist’ regime goes, are patently with the rebels. Fascists believe that the situation can be clarified only by a quick Fascist victory. A Fascist victory would strengthen the Bostisort of Italy and Germany in the Mediterranean and North Africa. It might also precipitate a European war, and this is the problem Mussolini: must consider. Diplomats believe that Mussolini will support any action that Adolf Hitler may take. The : fear is that the opposing regimes of fascism-Naziism: and socialism-communism - will = be so committed in the Spanish affair that Burope will be lucky if it escapes real trouble.
