The City Clerk also pointed out that the Board should establish a policy in regard to minor Items of expense as to whether they should be left to 'he discretion of the city or dealt with by the Park's Board. STICK TO POLICY "If you want to look after the small details In park affairs, then do It. Make a policy and stick to It," Mr. Ixing said. The City Clerk said that the city departments needed the minutes of Park's Board meetings the day after the meetings were held, if park's expenses were to be kept up to date. He added that failure to enter specific amounts in the minutes each time park's money was spent had resulted in the City Works Department undertaking, projects without knowledge of what the Board had allotted for the job: He cited the repairs to the sidewalk leading to Roosevelt Park as a case in point. Cost to date, Mr. Long said was $280, whereas only $150 had been allotted for the job. CITY NOT TOLD "The city did not know of the $150 allotment, until we received the Board's minutes on June 16, by which time $155 had already, been spent," Mr. Long stated. Park's Board Chairman Pat Forman said that in his years on the board, he had never been advised that such procedure was necessary. The City Clerk agreed to draw-up rules of procedure for the Park's Board for future meetings In order to avoid further ir.isunderstandlngs. - -s Income tax will be deducted at source for all members unless a member claims that his total net taxable income is below the minimum taxable and requests p Mishap Settled that no deductions be made.

The looting was discovered 10:30 a.m. Sunday when the safe was discovered on its back with the door blown off. Police here say that the yegg or yeggs entered by the back door of the store. Method used by the safecracker Indicates that it is the work of a professional, police say. The safe was rolled off a box on to its back and had the dials punched out before It was "souped" up with nitroglycerine, soaped over and covered with clothing. Using this method, police say, would produce an almost noiseless blast. . units; "excess" anti-aircraft will i be converted to other types of j 1111s arising from the "f a vamp Miv 10. 1952.
