Budget for Next Year is Adopted by City Tuesday Reconstruction of Sewer to Add Large Amount to Expenditures Although they adopted the city budget for the next fiscal year, which will be for a period of 14 months, at their meeting Tuesday evening the city councilmen have not yet determined whether an increase in the tax rate will be required.

Organization Founder's Son Addresses Members of Club Here Sunday "The United States is thoroughly modern in every respect except in its money system," Robert Townsend declared Sunday afternoon while addressing some 1400 Townsend club members at a mass meeting in the Anaheim city park. The speaker is the son of Dr. F. E. Townsend, founder of the organization. "Wealth is lying unused in American banks and there is an abundance of money resources in the nation for carrying on the Townsend program for creating and making permanent prosperity," the speaker declared. Townsend told of the plans for the national convention of Townsend clubs which will be held in Los Angeles starting June 19. He stressed the importance of the formation of the Townsend party and urged Townsendites to accomplish this by means of the change of party affiliation method. We estimated that there might be a determination to support Townsend supporters who are now members of some other party and the Townsend party is formed. Townsend suggested that the Republican party lacked leadership and that the democratic party was leading the nation to catastrophe. He closed his address with an appeal to aid in the nation-wide membership drive now being carried on by Townsend clubs.

It was indicated the council will not determine upon a policy until near the time of fixing the tax rate in September. Expenditures Higher Estimated expenditures for the next fiscal year are considerably more than during the current year, due, in the main, to the fact that two months have been added to the next fiscal year and that reconstruction of the joint outfall sewer and repair of property damaged by the recent flood will cost a large sum of money. For the general fund $51,655.52 will be required next year, while during the current year only $9,461.67 was needed. From this fund will be taken money necessary to reconstruct the joint outfall sewer which is estimated at about $600.
