<br /> 5th _ ,A check of out expenditures for this year for Debt _Service discloses that
<br />our Debt Service charg.es for the we.ar will be $24,000. more than was appropriated in the bud-
<br />get. This excess expenditure of 824,000. over the budget is due to no provision being made
<br />in this year's budget for the retirement of $1~,000. of serial bonds from the issue of-bonds
<br />amounting to $350,000. dated December 1st, 1931, and the bond interest of $11,400. on the

<br />amount $91.50, for board for Mary, Edward and Dorothy Kiser~ for the months of October and
<br />November, 1932. As the Oity has been paying board for these children for some time I recom-
<br />mend payment of this bill.
<br /> The budget appropriation for Probation is exhausted. Therefore, an addi-
<br />tional appropriation will be required if this bill is paid. Judge Cuthriell is still hand~
<br />ling toward making a more suitable disposition of these children.'
