CONTINGENCY FUND is
SHY; BALANCE 81, 900

The condition OF the city's con-
tingency fund. the fund from which
emergency expenditures are made.
was such as TO brighten City Control
Ter Heineman, Tuesday There is now
but $1,000 In the fund, less than ever
before in the city's history.
Heineman blames the heagh board
for making demands on the fund,
which the board might have foreseen
and placed in their budget year ago.
For the last two years, city officials
say, the board has made fine show
ing in keeping down It's budget, later
that additional funds were
required, the money being taken out
OF the House of Correction fund or
the contingency fund. During the past
year the fire department also ran So,
COO over it's appropriation, the money
being taken out Of other funds.
One reason for the lack OF coin in
the contingency fund is traced back
TO the refusal of the d. U. r. TO pay
$3.50. 900 In taxes on some OF the lines
where franchises have expired. Money
derived from liquor licenses was used
In making up this deficit IN taxes.
Otherwise IT would have gone to the
contingency fund.

u. S. Aviators May
Get Extra Pay for
Stunts In Airships

Army and Navy avtators are to be
rewarded for giving their services TO
the cause of military and naval avia-
ton. Congressman Hardwick's bill for
double pay for army aviators, amend
ed to help the navy f1iers, has been
passed by the House OF Representatives.
It Is believed that the bill will get
through the Senate without any objec-
ton.
Under the bill the aviation school OF
both the army. at College Park, Md,
and the navy, at Annapolis. can have
no more than thirty officers engaged in
aeronautical duty. At present there
are ten aviators at College Park and
Ave at Annapolis.
It is provided, however, that double
pay shall be given only for the next
Ave ycars, II being the belief of Con-
gress that In that time aviation will be
developed to the point where 1t will be
practically safe to fly about But IL at
the end Of that time flying is just at
big a risk as Il Is today. the double
pay Of the men will continue.
As the bill passed the House It vir-
tually means that. once a man is de-
tailed. to aviation duty and spends four
years there. he will not be ordered baci:
to his regiment. The friends OF Capt
Paul w. Beck. the veteran Curtiss fiiUr
of the school. who was ordered back 70
bis regiment after being away from II
four years hope that he VIII be able
to get back to the Army Aviation
School,
Under a standing order at the War
Department after q man is away from
his regiment four years he must re-
turn. This means that all Of the avia-
