BOARD OVER CHECKS
TO SAVE CITY MONEY
Take Advantage OF
Prices for Supplies and Antici-
pate Increases.

CITY Auditor Crenshaw yesterday
istratlve board the fact that appro-
priattons for several departments Of
the city, notably the city home, had
been over-checked for the six months
just closed.
In its reply to the auditor the board
stated that it was fully aware that
the amount Of the appropriation had
been over checked. but that the board
did not take the language of the APP
preparation resolution literally.
The board" says the reply to the
auditor, assumes the responsibility
Of attempting to save the city large
sums of money, and even small sums,
when it can do so" In purchasing
supplies for the various departments
the board always looks into the ad-
visibility of securing such supplies
at the very lowest prices, and il at
tempts to look a little in the future,
with the view of laying UP store
against increase in prices. Fly over
checking on the appropriation for the
first half year. the board has saved
the city not less than 33 1-3 per cent
on prices of foodstuffs alone. says Com
missioner Hrschberg. Past perform
ances have shown that large purchases
of articles which the city must have.
such as oil for the gas plant. and
fuel, have saved the city large sums
of money.
I'VE shall continue to nurse our
resources" said Mr.. Folkes land we
feel certain the people who have to
pay the fiddler Will appreciate our
efforts toward economy"

BOARD WOULD ASK BONUS
FOR EMPLOYEES OF CITY

Under resolution adopted by the
administrative board yesterday, Of
fered by Commissioner Hirschberg,
city council is asked to permit the
board to use all funds remaining at
the end of the fiscal year to the cred
1t Of payroll and salaries. to be de-
livered to a bonus fund and paid the
city employees on the payroll at that
time
The administrative board points out
that a large number of city employees
have been drafted into the service
of the army and navy. and that many
others have volunteered for the pro-
lection of their country, and that those
who remained behind have performed
more arduous services, and have given
more time to the cfty's work. and
are therefore entitled to a part of
the appropriation which may by de
crease in number of employees, have
been unexpended.
Hirschberg, will he forwarded to
council with the request that it re-
Ceive favorable consideration.
Nearly every department of the city
government is being conducted with
short forces. The annual appropria-
ton budget did not anticipate iCE
a contingency, and the money will not
all be expended IN salaries and wages
The idea of the administrative board
is to pay out that money Just as
though there had been full forces. in
every department The city engi-
neer's. the street cleaning, the gas and
water departments. and the depart
ment of electricity, have been going
with decreased forces. due to the war.
It is almost impossible to secure men
for the wages offered by the city.
