SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE de-
felt in the city's finances, together
with the revenue law which will not
permit the use of the money collected
from personal property taxes until APP
portionment in September will keep
the city treasury almost bankrupt
during the months of July, August and
September. If the June salaries are
withheld in order to permit the pay
ment of other claims then the officials
and employees will have their salaries
tied up for four months.
Mayor Phelan said when his atten-
ton was called to the matter, that
some arrangements should be made by
the city officials with some bank to
have the money furnished for the en-
pIoyes at a reasonable rate of interest,
as the rates charged by the brokers
would become a serious burden dur
ing the four months. He said he would
investigate and ascertain what ar
rangements could be made.
