City Councils attempted by transfer to-
day to patch UP municipal finances TO care
for deficits in several departments until the
close of the year. Many items In the De-
partmeut of Supplies have been exhausted
and efforts will be made to find the money
in unused items. II this fails, the blank
temporary loan bill now in the Finance
Committee will be filed in for 100000 and
the debt will stand against 1917 revenues.
Acting under instructions of the Finance
Committee. Chairman Gafrney introduced
resolution demanding that the Sinking
Fund Commission release for current ex.
penses during 1917 a total of 81, 100000 Of
matured funds. II the commissioners agree
to such move, the deficit to be made up by
an increase in the tax rate or by new
sources of revenue would be reduced by
one third at least. Quick action on the
resolution will be asked as the Finance
Committee hopes to settle definitely next
Monday the increase in realty tax neces-
sary to provide for all expenditures during
the next year.
NECESSARY MANIPULATION
The financial manipulation necessary to
carry the departments to the end of the
present year is illustrated by n number
of items in the transfer bills. In one trans
fer the $1,000 to be used in celebrating the
dawn OF 1917 is taken from the appropria-
ton made earlier in the year for the cleo
trio arc lighting OF the city. other trans
fers include $500 to the Mayor for the
storage of automobiles and $4,000 to the
Commercial Museum for maintenance and
repairs.
The special committee on water meter
rates reported favorably upon the new
rates that met with opposition at the hands
of laundrymen, dyers and Il number of busi-
ness organizations. Protests against the
new regulations which have three-fold OBJ
ject of advancing the more general use OF
meters, increasing revenues of the water
bureau and putting stop to costly waste.
resulted in some last-minute minor
changes. but the bill as sent to Councils
was essentially the same as that framed
during the summer by the committee np-
pointed to make an investigation OF exist
ing rates
one of the most important financial
measures introduced today provided for
the transfer of S275.O00 OF loan moneys
to Director Krusen, of the Depart
ment of Health and Charities, to be ap-
piled to the construction cost OF five new
buildings for the feeble-minded at Byberry
Farms. Director Krusen was allowed $780,

asked for estimates contractors bid fully
