TO PREVENT RAIDS
|ON CONTINGENT FUND
Commissioner Heating Plans
Provision in New Charter
to Meet Situation

Charter Commissioner Patrick
Heating proposes TO provide for a
sidewalk fund in the new charter,
| the idea being 10 prevent the various
|city departments from helping them
selves out of the contingent fund Tor
| all sorts OF expenditures Every year
the council appropriates certain
amount for sidewalk work, but the
money collected by the city from prop
Ierty owners for this work, goes into
the contingent fund The result Is
THAT the sidewalk fund is quickly de-
lpleted, while the contingent fund Is
inflated Every department banks on
the contingent fund to help out dur
Ting the fiscal year.
"By creating a sidewalk fund, the
proceeds from sidewalk construction
work will go where the money really
belongs. and the taxpayers will not
be asked TO appropriate 100000
every year for sidewalk work eX-
Iplained the commissioner. The con
ptingent fund Is a target for every de-
partment that is unable TO get by
the council with all it's estimates at
the beginning OF the fiscal year. The
sidewalk fund can easily be made
self-supporting
Friday morning the charter board
committee on public safety will meet
In the mayors Office To consider a
proposition TO abolish the indepen-
dent signal system of the police de-
partment and have all the signal work
In the city taken care of by the fire
department. which has large and
highly efficient system.
