Mayor Moore took a vigorous shot nt the councllmanio red tape tied about tlio $30,000 appropriation for preliminary ork on tho 1020 world's fair. And Senator Varc said that Mayor Moore's administration would be sup ported by the organization "so far ns Im plements tire concerned, but when It Mines to politics that ii an entirely dif ferent matter." To Demand Lower Taxes Mr. Vare also disclosed that "lower twos" wilt bo the slogan of the Brown Yare.

Mayor Issues Statement Tbe Mayor's statement follows: "If Council insists on passing the $50,000 appropriation bill for the pur poses of the sesiuiccntennial committee in a manner recommended by the com mittee on celebrations, It will delay the proceedings and may, for a time, se riously interfere with the big work con templated. ' "The Mayor's message to Council jfilnc for a preliminary appropriation of $50,000 was forwarded nt the in ttaiice of the citizens' committee. That committee will now have to be called torcther to decide whether It will accept the- councllmonlc terms or raise the money necessary to begin tho organiza tion work on its own nccount. "The Mayor believes tho great expo tftlon of 1020 should be held, but he dots not bollove it possible to bring the nations of the world together here under the auspices nnd direction of the coun lilmnnlc body. -Urge C(cllIrpad" "This thought was clearly in mind In the make-up of the citizens' committee of 100. That committee was selected carefully with a view to bigness and broadness of perspective. It probably , rould not perform the great tnsk It was willing to voluntarily assume Involving the raising of millions of dollars nnd the bringing together of vast enterprises of a national and International scope, if tied down to provisos In n council -manic ordinance because members of the local Council were not placed on so Important n committee. ''I trust Uio Council Itself will take the broad view of this situation nnd nter into the spirit of the big work on broad nnd patriotic lines. If it does not tho cltizcnH will hnvo to decide upon a future course of action." Veto Fight Itevlvcd Senator Vnre'a assertions were in ipired by tho "harmony pact" publicly pledged last night between Magistrate William F.

In his discussion of the need for economy in munlcinnl Government, the unator parsed over tho Mayor's veto of pin oi tlto Muulclpal Court budget. Mr. Moore based his veto on the ground that the court appropriation was ex travagant. Thu veto wns overridden by councllmanlc supporters of the Varo- unmn-i uuningniim combine.
