Mayor Anderson began by outling items that might be, and quite likely would be, incorporated in the 1940-41 budget and emphasized, for the information of the audience, the diffic- ulty of doing the many things asked of a council without increasing the amount of tax correspondingly. Mayor Anderson then introduced the recent- ly elected Councilmen, Granger, Werder, Edmonds, and McNulty. n
