Salient's 1956 Budget Up

Salient is this year budgeted to operate at a loss of £300. This figure was approved last week by the Executive on the recommendation of the Finance Committee after secretary John Marchant had failed in a move to increase it to £350, the amount for which Salient editor Nick Turner had asked.

Last year's loss on Salient, excluding Literary Issue, was more than £300; budget figure was £250.

Mr. Turner will shortly present a publication schedule and policy statement for the year to the Executive. It is likely to provide for eight more issues (making 12 for the year) the majority of which will have six or eight pages. Salient sales per issue this year have been greater than last year's, and the "honesty sales" system recently instituted has proved very successful
