NEXT MAYORS PROBLEM.
Holding Dozen the Lid" VII Be
His Hardest Task, Says Mcclellan.

Mayor Mcclellan said yesterday. when told that
the Travs-Lee debt limit amendment had passed
the Assembly. that the next Mayors hardest task
would be holding down the lid
Assuming that the amendment is approved by
the voters and that General Tracy's computation
Of the city debt will be upheld by the Court Of
Appeals, the city will have a debt margin of ap-
proxinateIy S225.OOoO00 January l next.
MY esteemed successor will have as his hard
est problem the matter Of keeping on the lid 8"
said the Mayor. IF General Tracy's report is up
held by the Court Of Appeals it would seem that
the city will have a large margin for any purpose.
and If the new amendment also is approved, there
will be a large margin from that exemption IT,
as alleged. the city will then have a margin OF
about $500 it strikes that the next admin
fstraton will have a hard time standing on de-
mands for large expenditures
The Travis-Iee amendment, assuming that II Will

citv's debt mourning capacity at least Sl9th""oo
as there are dock and rapid transit bonds outsand-
ing to that amount at the present time which. un-
der the terms Of the bill. would be eliminated from

New York would realize this fact. Assembly
men Ward and Murray declared that they
would vote for the bill simply because they
