From the above comparison OF known
payroll figures. it is apparent that the
strlctest economy must be observed dur
ing the remainder of the fiscal year in
order 10 keep the expenses down even to
the 1906 figures
In addition to this deficit should per-
maps be reckoned contracts calling FOR
an expenditure OF $4,000, which have been
signed. but for which orders have not
peen drawn ] fear these must be re-
garded as liabilities. From this compu-
tatiOn there must apparently occur A
deficit of about s600.000 or as much less
than that amount as may be saved by
reduction Of the pay roll and by rigid
