Upon to Help Matters-ImpOrtant
Ruling Concerning the StrinGinE
of Wires for Telephone Service.
The threatened deficit in the Coroner's
ONCE was the talk of the District Build
ing today The account of the mater
published in The Times this morning was
the first iatimation of the real facts in
the case. even to the Commissioners. The
members of the Board were as much sur
prised as everybody else that the Coro-
ner had exhausted the appropriation Tor
his office, TO the small balance of $4S.
The salary Of the Coroner is provided
for by a special item of 81 500 in each
appropriation bill The expenses of his
office are included in another item of
81 200. while the pay of the Deputy Cor
oner is provided for in each Deficiency
bill, he being allowed 50 per diem for the
number Of days employed. he also re-
ceives pay for the autopsies he performs
during the year.
Coroner Nevitt's explanation is that the
year has brought more than the usual
number OF Investigations, which, with the
payment for a large number of witnesses
in. several instances. has consumed the
amount allowed. 1t is thought that the
--e~t~--SAA 5ANN III VI tllC Dl4S4iltSS VI the
Coroner's Office has been such that the
sum of $1,000 is no longer sufficient to
meet the necessary expenses
Commissioner Macfarland and Auditor
Petty have the matter under adViSement
today and Will determine what is best to
be done under the circumstances. The
COrOnerS office will soon be called upon
TO meet the expenses connected with the
investigation into the death Of Fireman
keefe, ard this will require considerable
more than the balance of the appropria-
ton
In speaking of the matter today, Audi
tor Petty said that there We're two ways
TO carry the COrOners Office through the
remainder OF the fiscal year. One was,
he said, by regular deficiency appropria-
tiOn and the other was to make use Of the
emergency fund This fund of IS 900 con-
tained in each appropriation bill, Mr..
Petty explained, was TO cover the cost of
any sudden emergency which might arise,
such as a food, fire, or an epidemic OF dis
ease BY Interpretation of the law, he
stated, the expenses of the Coroner s
Office, such as autcpsies and the disposal
of the dead We're looked upon as proper
emergency expenses, and in the past ha6
been so paid. Mr.. Petty thought, how
ever, that the regular expenses of the O.
flee would have TO await emergency a E-
preparation by the next Congress.
1t was suggested today that the &C
ner should have followed the actor
other departments OF the Municipal {
ernment and asked for . deficiency
preparation sufficient to carry him tn
