WILL BORROW $4,000
bieeting of Board of Aldermen
Will Need Money to Meet Current
Expenses to June 1

Pursuant to the call of President
Marbury, all the members of the
Board of Aldermen were present at
the meeting held at 80 o'clock yes
terday afternoon.
Mr.. Field, Of the Finance Commit
tee, presented preamble and resolu-
ton authorizing the City Council to
borrow SAC, 900 with which to meet the
expenses up to the end of the present
fiscal year, June /, 1913.
Mr.. Field asked that the paper be
referred to the Finance Committee IN
order that they could report on 1t
at an adjourned meeting to be held
this afternoon. He said the preamble
and resolution explained the object,
and that it was unnecessary for HIM
TO say anything.
MIR. Ballenger asked If 34V.Ooo
would carry the city through the fiscal
year.
Mr.. Field replied that it would pro-
vided no extraordinary expense was
incurred. He said the committee had
carefully gone over everything, and
Anticipated aa nearly as possible, all
obligations the city was likely to in
cur
MI, Ballenger called attention to the
fact that the city had been authorized
to borrow $4,000 if necessary. he
did not wish to see the committee
come back to Council for more money
if it was later seen more would be
required. He favored making the
amount $4,000 in order to obvlate
such movement.
President Marbury did not think it
necessary to borrow more than the
committee had estimated upon.
In ansyer to interrogatlons: MI
Field said the city would be unable to
prosecute street improvements any
further until July /, 1913: except
those contemplated on Royal street
where the Electric Railway Company
would meet the cost.
Mr.. Ballenger said it was his object
TO resume street work as early in the
spring as possible.
Mr.. Field thought the city should
proceed slowly in the face of the city
financial resources, at present.
Mr.. Summers referred to the power
granted the city to borrow $4,000. and
asked if certain Improvements which
had been started in the southwestern
section of the city were to be con-
| tinued
It was generally agreed that a
rangemcnts for meeting the cost OF
these improvements had already been
provided for.
Mr.. Field could see no good reason
for borrowing more money than was
actually needed because the city had
been authorized to do so.
Mr.. Ogden said he had intended to
vote for the resolution, but he did
not suppose it would interfere with
an early resumption of street improve
ments, and with such work was not
be started up again until July l. he
said it was contemplated to improve
twenty one squares, and petitions tor
the same would soon be introduced IN
Council.
Mr.. Field explained to the Board
that the money needed Immediately by
the city had nothing whatever 10
do with the improvements contem-
plated next year. The money was -
