Executives ot the 60 government

relief population in 143 cities had
declined 1.4 per cent during April
from March.
The decline was estimated to in-

the final figures to show a similar
decrease throughout the country,
saying the "figures usually hang
pretty close,"
He declined to say, however, to
what extent the decrease was due
to pruning relief rolls.

The South, formerly the producer
and provider of cotton for practical-
ly all cotton-using countries, now
has several competitors countries
which heretofore have furnished
little of the world's cotton but now
increasing their cotton acreage. Bra-
zil which shipped no cotton to the
Netherlands In the first quarter of
1934 was the third largest supplier
of cotton to Holland in the Janu-
ary-March period of this year, ac-
cording to the Department of Com-
metre. Most of the increase in im-
ports of Brazilian, Egyptian. Argen-
tine and Peruvian cotton by the
Netherlands was at the expense of
lint from the United States Re-
ceipts from this country dropped
Irom 8,940 metric ton. In the first
quarter of 1934 to 3,834 sons. Total
imports of 9,122 tons represented a
30 per cent decrease from the 1934
period.

the employables, the unemployables
and the child labor set The sta-
tistics start off with the population
of the United states 124.000 000 and
deduct from that those eligible 50,-
000,000, to the Townsend plan pen-
■Ion. leaving 74.000000 From ahm i
figure those prohibited under the
child labor act and those working i
for the government, 00,900.000. are ,
deducted, thereby leaving only 14.- ।
000,000 Then the figures show the ,
unemuployed as 13,900.000. Subtract. ,
ing them, the balance is only two,
which, according to the statement, i
leaves that many to produce the ।
nation's goods. "You and me." it ,
says, "and I'm all tired out"
Heard on the campus! "How did 1
you get to this dance" a student was 1
asked. “On my room mate's ticket."
eame the reply. "Well, where's your
room mater and the answer. “Oh.
he's back in our room looking for
che ticket."
The request, filed by letter, did
not specify Just what buildings were
contemplated. It pointed out that
application for that amount was
endorsed recently by unanimous
tote of the school board, and asked
the city's co-operation in furnish-
ing data to Preston M. Geren of
Fort Worth, architect, who is to be
here Friday collecting information
relative to filing the application
The school heads also requested the
city this year set the school portion
of the tax levy at its maximum al-
lowable figure, 75 cents on the *100
valuation.
The matter was referred by the
commission to City Attorney Reg-
inald Gambill to rule on legality of
the question if granted 70 per
cent ol the total PWA fund would
have to be repaid by issuing city
bonds.
Budget Items Amended
A number of other matters were
before the commission, which failed
to reach the two topics it had called
the session tor— 1935-36 city budget
and empaloyes' salaries.
A list of amendmenks to the
present budget, which runs till June
1, was passed, adding $25,853 to va-
rious ety departments where un-
anticipated items have arisen to
push expenditures past thwir al-
lowances it was thought, however,
that the balances which will be left
June 1 in other budget divisions
probably will offset the additions
and that the city's total will not be
exceeded for the year.
Includes Improvements
Biggest of the items added were
610.000 for permanent improvements
—the cross city water main and part
of the new well coot—and engine re-
pair totalling $6,000 in th* water and
hgn department budgel increasing
rl oil costs and several other items
ran the total amendments of that I
department to above 820,000.
it aas pointed out by Superin-
tendent W N. Harris that despite
those e i oenditures, inchuding the
permanent improvements and also
despite a recent transfer of about
$53,000 to other city funds, the util-
ities department fad a bank bal-
ance of $46,720 on May 1 and will
probably end the fiscal year June
1 with an approximately $50,000 bal-
a nce.
Other amendments added items
to divisions in the general, legal,
police, fire, health, street and bridge,
cemetery and park departtments
budgets, and small* amendments
were required by the equipment I
store-room and reler cannery pro J- i
ecta. I
