PROCEEDINGS j..
Being DRAWNUP
AGAINST BOARD
Injunction Against Supervisors
Over $500 Appropriation
Pending, Cristy Says

The city attorneys office is busy
today drawing up proceeding in
which the question will be raised as
to whether the board of supervisors
has the power to Inappropriate money
from special fund. 49,.
The trouble arose over the appro-
priation of $500 by the board at its
last meeting from the Central Gram,
mar school fund TO the Eva school dis
trict fund for the purpose OF building
a school house at Pearl City.
According to A. n. Cristy. deputy
city attorney, the board has no right
to take money from a special fund
for other uses, but when Supervisor
Dan Logan pointed out a section in the
revised laws which says the board OF
school estimates may readjust appro-
priations, the board passed the reso,
luton over the attorneys ruling and
mayors veto. b.
Cristy claims that If the money was
needed, the board could take the
amount from the general fund and at
the end of the two years, for which
time the money was apportioned by
the legislature. refund it.
Cristy says that he is bringing the
question up simply as test case and
a lively fight is anticipated <

BRITISH CREDIT IS
STANDING Strain,
SAYS CHANCELLOR

LONDON, Eng.-Mr.. McKenna, re
plying to criticisms in the house CT
commons as to the treasury's method
of borrowing for the purposes of the
war, said that the Indebtedness at the
end of March next was estimated AT
E2,640, 000, COO, or about one years ma
tional income-not an intolerable Dur
den to contemplate.
The capital wealth of the country
was estimated at G15,0O0, 100000, OF
mere than Six times the estimated
debt. -.
Ideas had radically changed, said
Mr.. McKenna, in consequence OF the
war. The figure of 800 millions.
which was now so startling, was nof
really very startling in relation to the
other figures. BritaiE's total indebt-
edness on March 81 next, he estimated
would be 3440 millions. Out OF that
might fairly be taken the amount OF
our advances to the Allies and Domtn-
ions, which, at the same date, he put
at about 500 millions, leaving our net
Indebtedness at the end of March
2640 millions That was out of all
proportion to anything known or
thought of before, but was it burden
which we were unable to meet? The
rational income now might probably
be put at about $500 millions. 1t had
been estimated by one authority at
2400 millions in 1894, and at 27Do
millions month or two ago. Another
authority had put it as high as 5000
millions, but he thought that was an
exaggeration. On the figure he took,
the national Indebtedness was just
about equal to one years national in
come, which figure was not burden
;ntolerable to contemplate.
British Credit Standing the Strain
If it was compared with our total
national capital wealth, which he estj-
mated at $1,000 millions, the proper
ton of Indebtedness was not really
large. In one year we would have
collected a revenue which would be
equal to 90 per cent of our whole
debt, and we would be able to pay cut
of taxation the interest on the debt
and a considerable sinking fund. and
still leave large margin for redHc
ton of taxes on March 81. He ex-
pressed no opinion as to when the war
would end He was merely stating
what would be the financial position
at the end of the financial year He
had reason to be proud of the man
11er in which British credit had stood
the strain. We were raising gigantic
revenue We had succeeded In OBJ
tanning It at reasonable rates for two
years, and he had not the slightest
doubt that the British public would
continue to show willingness to sup
FORT their country both by paying
taxes and by lending money. However
long the war might last, he had not
the slightest doubt that we would re
able to maintain our cerdit

Rather than risk his boat and his
crew and passengers, the captain told
histseeret. They found the little maid
down in her cabin with the door

she came out, but she still kept as
