again yesterday in the City Hal TO agree upon the
Commissioner Andrews said If it not for the COM
mercia disturbances from which the country was now
suffering he would put the deficiency accoun. for the

these disturbances he thought the deficiency would
probably amount to between S150,00o and S175,OOo.
While these figures could be taken only ss an estimate,
ne thought they were not too low.
Controller Green said that the law authorized the
Board of Supervisors to add to the tax levy amount
exceeding three per cent Of the amount OF the appro
priatons made for the year. TO provide for deficiencies
in the actual product of the taxes For years the
amount added for this purpose had been insufficient to
the annual deficiencies caused by the failure To col
lect personal taxes, discounts renssOns OF taxes, &c.
amounting since 1870 to $4Si5,000. The taxes could
not reduced by the levy OF inadequate amount to
meet the appropriations, but should he reduced through
a reduction OF expenditures by the departments, which
