Mayor Lee stated, T think we have been spending too much money. I want all of you (Commissioners) to survey your departments and get rid of every unnecessary employee. "Since you assigned me to the police department, I think I shall start there. But this was not Mayor Lees first move in that direction.

Mr. Lee pointed out that he is going to balance the 1960 budget EDITOR: Let Mayor Lees action be a blueprint for other conservatives all over the nation that this is the way a Conservative operates when elected to public office.
