have no control.

“The new budget," the Mayor continued, “is financially sound, and there are several significant factors which should be taken

into consideration.

“The 1943 budget absorbs approximately $18,000 in emerr cy notes issued by the city 1942, which under the budget laws must be paid in cash out of this year’s budget. Outstanding among the emergency notes issued last year were those for the reconstruction of the fishing pier due to storm damage, and one for the purchase of the new city hall building; the latter, howhas already been paid out

"Another item is $2,500 for auditor’s services during 1937. At that time the state auditors rendered a bill for $0,500, and the city commission, feeling the charge unjustified, has steadfastly refused to pay that figure. Recently, we compromised the bill and the auditor agreed to settle the claim for* $2,600, so that is also in the new budget. Our attitude on this item saved the

city $4,000.

j "Considering all of these things, plus the loss of approximately $125,000 in ratables, most of them non-revenue producing and actually false valuations for many years, I feel that we have a budget which is not only financially •ound, but also overcomes a considerable amount of mandatory • Hems,” the Mayor continued. "Counteracting these items which would normally tend to increase the local operating budget are the fact that during 1942 the city underspent is appropriaions, leaving a cash surplus which can be used to offset some of the increase, and revenue from

Guards Under21 Must

Wear Leggings

Orders have been issued by the District Coast Guard officer of the Fourth Naval District to commanders. of all stations in Cape May and Atlantic Counties, requiring that all Coast Guard personnel under 21 years of age wear leggings while on liberty. The new order was promulgated to assist liquor licensees in determining whether or not a Coast Guard is eligible to be served al-

coholic beverages.

In addition, Coast Guards under^21 will have the word "leggings” inscribed on their liberty cards to further identify them

Certificates alio may be issued to persons whose shoes have been so woni as to be beyond repair, and who do not have access to cnother stamp No. 17. in the ration book of some other member of his or her family. The order provides enough footwear for normal use, the board chairman declared, but imposes upon Americans the obligation of better than normal care for their existing

shoe supply.

The first ration period now in effect extends to June 16. However, delivery can be made on shoes purchased but not delivered, ^rior to the “freeic” order Sunday afternoon up to Thursday night, February 11. Institutions or organizations] which buy shoes for large groups and which retain title to them can get from the district OPA office special certificates for block purchases. Shoe dealers must keep all ration stamps which they receive until farther instructions
