With Bang-No Decision The lid blew off the so-far serene 1959 municipal budgetary sessions here Monday night when aldermen exploded after nearly four and one-half discussion of the proposed $3,236,519 city school district budget and ended the meeting in an angry verbal row. No conclusive action was taken on the proposed budget as the meeting literally fell apart with Supt, of Schools A. F. Jordan vainly attempting to find out when the session would be continued and concluded. it Ar tr The Council chamber was in an Uproar as the meeting exploded with a number of aldermen loudly denouncing other intentions and receiving ready replies and denials to their accusations.

No date was set for a continuation of the school budget hearing. The planned action, however, is to call for a continuation of the session sometime after Nov. 6 when the city council and county board finance committees are scheduled to sit down together to inquire into each thinking for arrival at similar The big issue is the tentative placing of wage in the municipal government and proposed wage and salary in the school system. The blowup Monday night came when several aldermen began loudly a method of circumventing suggestions as how to lower the school budget, (Budgeting aldermen last Thursday voted 12 to 4 to tentatively place $60,581.80 in the 1959 budget for wage increases for city employes). (That total did not include, however, $18,335 already in the school budget for 1959 increments.

A total $43,048 was in the school budget in increases salary adjustments in the school budget and first considered other operational costs. The increment and adjustments were to be saved for the end. The end arrived with about $15,000 sliced out of the rest of the $3,236,519 budget. (The share of that budget is $2,329,631 or 90.34 per cent. Town of Shelby pays 7.96 per cent and Town of Campbell 1.69 per cent, based upon the respective 1957 equalized valuations).

Alderman Lynden Gjerde than proposed that some $98,625 for items such as school furniture, auditorium seats, lights and stage lights, be removed from the operating budget and placed in the capital improvements budget as capital outlay to be financed for in a proposed one and one-half million dollar capital improvements budget yet to be considered. it it Aldermen Richard Schelbe proposed that about $45,000 be absorbed in the school budget as was approximately $48,000 in 1956, $62,000 in 1957 and $58,700 in 1958. (Aldermen in previous years out an amount out of the proposed school budgets and asked the school board to absorb the cut from other places in the budget). The suggestion brought loud cries from a number of aldermen that an attempt was being made to avoid giving teachers their increment increases. Alderman Emil Schultz, finance committee chairman, loudly disagreed with Gjerdes proposal to remove some items from the budget for inclusion in a bond issue.

Schultz exclaimed that it is ridiculous to finance pay-as-you-go in a bond issue. He ed emphatically that he is opposed to one-half in the proposed one and one-half million dollar capital improvements budget. we the money, cut it he exclaimed! Alderman Hubert J. Schleiter than stated that aldermen recently and approved wage increments for city employes. He said he hoped they understood that the approval was tentative and conditional.

Schleiter stated aldermen should go no further on the subject (wage increments) until the finance committee has a joint meeting with the county commissioners (finance committee) so each may have somewhat similar policies. He added he had considered it with the mayor who agreed. have leveled off. We have come to a turning point in the he concluded. Aldermen who last Thursday verbally favored wage increment increases for city employes voiced the opinion that the Council last August or those increases for 1959 as set up in the newly revised Job classification and wage compensation program worked out for the city by the state bureau of personnel.

Aldermen who verbally opposed the increments voiced the opinion that Fred Young, who directed the program revision, had stated himself that the recommended increment increases should be considered in light of economic conditions and that aldermen had to make the final decision of whether they should be granted. Aldermen this year have a gigantic budgetary task. They began needing a tentative $5,275,341.06 from direct local property taxation which would require charging property owners $50.22 for each $1,000 worth of assessed value on their property. Au The current rate for 1958 is $47 for each $1,000 worth of assessed valuation on property. Aldermen in a number of budget sessions sliced the required amount from property taxes down to $50.03 for each $1,000 worth of assessed valuation.

The picture changed abruptly last Thursday night when voted tentative wage increments sent the required amount from direct property taxes up to $5,316,406.86 which would require $50.61 for each $1,000 worth of assessed valuation; an amount 39 cents higher than the original estimate. Adding to the city budget headache this year is the uncertainty of how much the city will obtain from income sources other than direct local property taxes; especially in form of state income tax rebates, which amount is dependent upon local incomes the past year during an admittedly severe unemployment situation here. it it Aldermen are worried, too, about the impact of potentially! higher city taxes upon local tax-1 payers who may have worked not at all, little, or only part of the time, this year. There is some reason to believe that aldermen are waiting for public opinion to congeal and be expressed on the budget, especially on wage increments. The next budget session is at 7 p.m.
