THE TENTATIVE BUDGET
Announced as SI56,I28, ,O21 65 By
Mayor-LittIe Hope of Reduction.

Mayor Mcclellan at the taxpayers hearing on
the city budget yesterday announced that the tenta-
tive budget $f5s 12S,021 65. The total budget
last year s14s572 26s II is not likely that the
tentative budget for this year will be materially
reduced. Mayor Mcclellan said that there had
been no salary increases. but he explained that
large increases were necessary to provide for
mandatory increases in salaries in the Education,
Street Cleaning. Police and Fire departments.
The Mayor announced that the tentative budget
had been prepared with the cooperation Of Henry
Bruere. Of the Bureau Of Municipal Research. whom
he thanked for his public spirit.
William Williams of the Allied Real Estate In
terests. read a statement in protest against the
Increase of the budget. Money saving was prom
ised. he said. in many departments.
The Mayor explained that of the increase $500 600
for the redemption of and interest upon securi-
ties 1850 coo for private charitable institutions made
necessary by hard times. and $254,oo for the De-
partment Of Charities for the same cause.
Mr. Williams declared that the citys bills were
not properly audited.
That's right said Mr. Metz. give help
enough and they will be audited"
H Jones, Of the North Side Board of Trade, pro-
tested against the increase of $4,000 for the Tene
ment House Commission He assailed Jacob A
Riis for making what ne termed false statement
in regard to tenement house conditions. Said he:
Mr.. Ris says there 361 900 dark rooms in
New York tenement houses without either light
air That's false. II there air $1,000 peo-
pie would die in night, every one who slept
in those rooms. That's the man President Roose-
velt calls model citizen"
Controller Metz and Borough President Ahearn
engaged in verbal bout. There are departments
that carry padded rolls. and the heads ought to
know they carry padded rolls and that
going 70 stop said Mr.. Metz
What's that? What's that?" said Ahearn.
You ought TO know what 1 mean said Mr
Metz tersely ana sharply.
Well I object to that said Ahearn Il want
TO know what you mean. Which Department.
Well You know what I mean, all right. You
know the rolls padded well I do. You
have been in office long enough. I have been in
office only three years. and I have found out the
rolls are padded"
In commenting the outlook Controller Metz
said:
The times promise not TO be hard this winter.
The population Of institutions ought not TO
increase Business is getting better all over the
country. I know my own Is, and I don't think
we need to look forward 10 depressed times"

IDEAL SEWAGE DISPOSIL.
n. 7. Z. Lecturer Makes First An
nOuncement of Nezc Snstem.

Osborn Congleton, the consulting engineer, lect-
ured before the Senior Engineers at New York
University yesterday morning the subject of
sewage disposal. The lecturer described ideal
method Of sewage disposal and excited consider
able comment among the students. He said:
A. the of millions. property, the EabitattOn
OF man. IS Systematically protected; him
self. doomed to certain death through preventable
causes. is ignored Millions voluntarily con-
trihuted disease, but not one sou for pre-
venticn Death, the penalty reserved as the last
and crUeest punishment; to be inflicted only In
accordance with due process Of law upon a few of
the greatest criminals among men, is bindly i'm
posed upon countless millions Of innocents through
the agency of preventanle disease the result
Of municipal criminal neglect. Societies are ear
nestly working for the projection of every concey-
able thing-from a tree to yellow dog-yet the
ignorant masses, rich and poor alike, drop like
flies early graves. and call 1t the providence
Of God,
Yet with these facts staring at from the
shelves Of every library In the land, what has been
done? Little has been attempted. Little that Is
practical has bee accomplished
Mr. Congleton then outlined a plan he had de-
veloped of a system of disposal which he had per
fected and announced that It was the first time
it had been made public.
