Slash Its Estimates.

Adjustment Board todav, Council last night.

The vote was 5 to 3, with Republicans dissenting vigor-

ously. Fighting budget approval to the last moment, minority members unexpect edly gave ground on other isSes,

They agreed to pass the $125000 Fire Department improvement bond issue and to Kill the tavern curfew ordinance, Councilman Harmon A Campbell, sponsor of the tavern measure, said that police "have the tavern situation in hand.’ Meanwhile. the County Council read over the eounty budgets, item by item, toda) preparatory to making their formal cuts tomorrow Councilmen indicated they many pare the hudgets enough to permit & tax rate nostihly ag low ax 44 cents, 8 cents under the current rate and almost 8 cents under the rate that would be required to finance departmental budget reQuests

Board Meets Monday

After adoption hy the County Council, the budgets will he re viewed further by the County Tax Adjustment Roard, which will meet Monday Consideration of the City budget was the signal for an outburst of partisan debate Mr. Campbell charged that the “City Administra tion has definitely evaded any real and intelligent effort to reduce taxes.” The charge was contained in a prepared statement in which Mi Campbell said also that he believed part of the expenditure in the fire bond issue should have been added to the budget Minority members were halted in an attempt to submit a8 minority report--an official dissent-—on the budget, Such a report was out of order, Democrats explained, since the Council was sitting as a com mittee-af-the-whale

Minoritv's Position ‘Clear’

The minority has made it « it apposex (hiz budget,” Dr. Walt ¥ Hemphili Republican sa.d ‘We're convineed it ean be out even though were not saving how much. We think vou eould cut the balances and take at least a couple of rents off the rate” Council President Joseph G Wood declared he believed the ‘budget, had heen pared enough the Administration before it was submitted to the Council I'he warking balance, he said, would act as a "cushion against amergencies “Tt seems to me Mr. Campbell sommentea, “that there are 100 many cushions in this budget. The County Council did a good job on cutting thers “The County ‘Council recei hudpet that needed (rimming Ransom, Democrat, araued. “Ours dian't.” More Money, Smaller Rate
