The young blizzard which visited this sejqtton of the country early Sun- day morning and remained until Mon- day threatened to tie up traffic 'gener- erally, 'but preparations . bad heen made In the village to eo|>e with such a situation, and there was only a short period on Sunday night In which traffic was suspended.

ASKS FOR $50,000 APPROPRIATION Amount Double That o* Last Year, Which Waa Much Higher Than Average Cost in Preceding Years. / A budget of $100,000 for the village for the enduing year now seems likely. Tlie Hoard ol Village I'ruuteeg are at work making up the budget, and are considering the estimates of the vari- ous departments, bnt have not pro- gressed to the stage In which any definite estimates of the total amount can be made. Tlie budget of last year was 902,000, and It seems quite certain that this year's budget will ex- ceed that of last year by several thou- suutl. dollars. . Oile of the startling features that the trustees encountered in making up the budget was the estimate submitted by Chief of Police llartinunn, for the expenses of the police Department for the coming fiscal year. Be submitted an estimate calling for un appropria- tion of over ffto.OOO. This IS just about double the amount of last year, which In turn was almost''double Unit of the average of the few previous years. The reason for this large police de- partment estimate was that Chief liartmunn planned for an increase of the personel of the police department by ten men. There are now 17 men on the police force and he provided tor an Increase of ten patrolmen. A sliding scale of salaries, providing for Increases for some of the members of the force was included In the esti- mate. He also made provision for the purchase at |l,500 of an automobile for use as a patrol wagon by the de- partment, i -V • '*''' • ' •' • • V v--* .-Y .. -rMh- nieuiiH'i-s of the village board when the recommendation was n-ud. but It seems very evident that the appropria- tion asked will not be Included In the budget us submitted ut the nnmuil meeting. Health Officer Runcie reconimended that the village take up at ihls time the sewage proposition, and also mun- icipal garbage and asb collection. The trustees declared that there was not sufficient time to handle the sewage proposition, but the garbage and ash removal proposition may be submitted to the voters. Village Highway Com- missioner Clarence William, declared that be could give the village such a service as part of the work of his de- partment for 19,600 u year, hut If the work was let out to private contractors the cost would be much more than $10,000.
