The WATER
City Flnanciers Confronted
With the Question Of
Paying for the Tenn
porary Supply.
WATER ACCOUNT SHOWS 4 LOSS
Employees Cannot Be Discharged
Because East Jerseys Sup
ply Is Uncertain.

The several city boards have filed
with the Board Of Finance their esti-
mates for the fiscal year beginning De-
cember l. This boards have been modest.
'shat is, the members say they have. but
their estimates aggregate sf.479.2 66.5o.
This sum is exclusive of the monies re-
quired by the Board of Finance to meet
maturing bonds and provide for the sub
stantial interest burden the city is
carrying. The Board of Finance will.
perhaps. require nearer a million dol
lars than a half million. AS a conse-
auence the budget. if the various boards
were given what they ask, would be in
the neighbcrhood of 81, $780, 600. The pres
emit indications are that the appropria-
tons will be about 50, 0,000, of if pos
sible considerably less.
The Finance Board this year. in ad-
dss.on to the regular appropriations re-
CURED for the maintenance of the city
government, is confronted with a new
and important financial factor. 1t is that
of paying for the temporary water sup
ply. The situation IS an interesting one
and the Finance commissioners admit
solve in the preparation of the budget
this year.
They are to be aided to a considerable
extent in their abors by the Tax Com
missioners, who report that ,tfley have
found additional ratables and large
tracts of land which can easily stand an
increased valuation.
In the lower section of the city the
ratables will doubtless remain unchanged,
but in the outlying districts, where thou
sands of dollars rave been spent by the
city and property Owners in making i'm
provements, the Tax Commissioners have
found rich fields for .levying increased
assessments.
What the Board of Finance has to deal
with is shown in the following list Of
