new BUDGET SYSTEM
EXPLAINED BY BUREAU
Municipal Research Publication
Shows Advantages to Be Ac-
crued Under Charter
NEW ERA is PREDICTED

In statement issued by the Bureau
of Municipal Research several of the
principal changes effected in the city $
budget by the new charter are set forth.
While deploring the fact that the
charter revision committee was obliged
TO sacrifice some Of its earlier pro
poSals. the bureau believes that the
new budget system will put an effective
stop to tho former practice of borrowing
money for current expenses and allow
the city greater power in tho use Of its
money without increasing the public
debt.
Perhaps the noticeable budgctary
change says the bureau. lis that
which places upon the Mayor the re
sponsiblity of initiating an annual
work and financial program and sub.
'mitting it directly to Council. No
longer will Council receive from the
city controller a mere compilation Of
departmental requests. Except for the
preparation of an estimate of receipts
and an estimate of fixed liabilities.
which the Mayor must include in his
program. and which the Council l.. re
quircd to follow. the city controller is
relieved of all duties now performed b!
him in connection with the annu@
budget.
After this program has been duly
considered the Council decides the
amount of taxes needed for the ensuing
year. levics these taxes. provides for
the fixed liabilities estimated by the city
controller and then appropriatcs the
rest of the city controllers cntimatcs
of receipts for the other needs of the
city These needs arc determined solely
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-07-24

by Council. which. is not in any degree
limited by the Mayors estimate or
recommendations. The inflexiblc for
m Ila by which receipts have been 'esti
mated for the last forty years has at
last been scrapped.
Attention is also called by the bureau
to provision of the new charter which
eliminates the former custom of placing
moral claims in with the regular ap-
preparations. Conccalment of such items
is no longer possible under the terms of
the bill. which provides for ordinances
dealing exclusively with such claims
Furthermore. the name Of each claim
ant and the amount hc is to receive
arc to be specifically set forth and the
ordinance must obtain n two thirds vote
Of Council and be approved by the
Mayor.
As n comparative study between the
new and the old charter. the bureau
says:
The most notable difference between
them is the basis adopted. The charter
revision committee sought TO have tho
city financed on Il basis substantially
similar to that of we'll managed private
enterprises. It set zip minimum pay
as you 60 standard in revenue and ex
pcnsc accounting terms. Tits would
have made II unnecessary to impose
various inncXibIc. complicated and
costly limitations and qualifications.
such as those required by tho cash re-
ccipts and disbursements basis. in order
to obtain the same desirable results.
For reasons that will not be gone
into at this time. the attorney general
insisted upon a continuance of the cash
receipts and disbursements basis that
has obtained for years past. As n rc-
suit. the budgctary provisions of the
new charter are framed along those less
satisfactory lines.

The answer is
"Just enough Turkish "

Until they had tried Fatima, most
of these men had been smoking
straight Turkish cigarettes-because,
of course, until few years ago these
fancy.boxed, expensive straight Turk.
ish cigarettes were practically the only
cigarettes on sale at places like those
named below.
Gradually, however, it seems that
these men have learned two things
about Fatima:
l. That Fatima's famous blend
containing more Turkish than
any other blend) has just enough
Turkish for full flavor; and
2. That the blend is 80 balanced"
as to offset entirely that over.
richness or heaviness of straight
Turkish.
Which proves again that Fatimas
are a sensible cigarette they
leave a man feeling fine and fit even
after smoking more heavily than usual.
Has your present cigarctte-has
any cigarette-as strong claim for
your serious consideration as has
Fatima?

Residents of the village whose
homes are shaded by elm trees and
who are got taking advantage of the
opportunity to secure the services of
the village sprayer are likely to re-
greet their neglect. The elms which
add so much to the beauty of the viii
lage could not be reproduced in less
than fifty years, Many Of the trees
are probably older. Spraying in re-
cent years has helped TO preserve the
Gins from the ravages of the beetle,
as is plainly evident when the trees
that have been sprayed are compared
with those that have not been treat
ed. Not only does the beetle sap the
vitality OF the trees but 1t creates a
ragged and unsightly appearance for
the remainder of the season after its
work on the leaves has ended. The
village government is spraying the
trees at actual cost of operation and
materials and at much less expense
to property owners than would be the
case we're the work to be done at 0
