Low HAS SCHEME
TO PREVENT
DEFICIT
-

Mayor Fem holds the financial fate
of the present board of supervisors
in his hands, according to the outlook
today. -.
If he takes his pen in hand and signs
some resolutions recently passed by
the board .appropriating several thou
sand dollars for public improvements,
the board will be '.stuck" or the city
will be stuck-with a deficit of some
81, 900.
Ii the mayor does not take his pen
in hand and does not sign these reso-
lutions, the board can probably
squeeze through and have few dol.
lars left in the treasury, though vir-
tually the municipal war-chest will be
as empty as Old Mother Hubbard's
sideboards Although the
board has passed the appropriations,
its recent discoveries in the realms
of finance, aided by Chairman Low OF
the ways and means committee and
City Auditor Bicknell, have shown
that there is no money to carry out
the resolutions, and now the board, or
Chairman Low at least, sees way
out of the dilemma. This way out is
for Mayor Fern to withhold his sig.
nature. from the appropriations. -s.-
While it is true that the city has
$3S 900 in school funds, or at least
this amount of tax money set aside
for school purposes, and which is now
handled by the Territory, that is
long way from actually having it III

this morning. The talk about cor.
ryine the matter into the courts is
all right, bat there is no assurance
that the city can get ~ money from
the Territelr. and If we don't get it,

According tC Supervisor Low. the
board has been misled in it's appro-
priations by some discrepancies in
It's figures and hose of the tax office.
We understood that We could get
about $500 900 from the tax office
