The city council yesterday made
final appropriations of funds to
the various departments for 1920.
The result of several sessions of the
council on the budget in a desperate
effort to stretch S2,023,000 into ST.
100000 was reduction of the APP
preparations to total of $1,000, 1888.
1--WE will make it that and trust
that we will get enough extra money
into the treasury to piece it out"
said Commissioner Ure, the guar
dian of the treasury.
I'm fact, we are expecting about
$4,000 back payments from occu-
patton tax to add to the amount
we have to spend. If we get that
we will come out all right
Many Cuts Made.
Mayor Smith asked originally for
1882, 100 to run his department in
place of the $l05,000 he had last
year. This the council cut down to
$4,000. It>gave him 100000 to run
the public library this year in place
of $4,000 that he asked. The pub
lie library had only $4,000 last
year. Municipal court welfare board
and judgment funds were left as he
asked to have them His own office,
including the city legal department
and city chemist, was given $4,000
in place of $20,950 on which it was
operated last year.
Mr.. Ure's department was given

Navy Favors Retention
of Brooklyn Supply Base

From Ths 1rtbuxe's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 10.-MurraY
Hubert, Commissioner of Docks OF
New York City, to-day outlined before
tho War Departments special advisory
board on army port terminals the de-
sires Of the municipality for the max
imum utilization Of the facilities In
New York Harbor.
The board took Mr.. Hulbert's recon-
mendations under advisement and in.
formed him that the requests Of the
municipality would be given earnest
consideration.
Tho board. which organized to-day
Will make q thorough survey Of the
port facilities Of the Atlantic Coast
With . view to recommending to the
War Department the retention Of GER
tain properties for War Department
needs. The board Is composed Of Majo,
General Frank 7. Hines, chief of the
Division Of Transportation, chairman;
Thomas Carroll Powell, vice-presideni
Of the Erie Railroad, R. s. MacElwee
first assistant director Of foreign and
domestic commerce; f. T. Chamberlin
United States Commissioner Of Navi.
cation, and H. B. Walker, president OF
the Old Dominion Steamship Company
Despite vigorous opposition by the
House Committee on Naval Affairs
the Navy Department favors the re-
tention of the fleet supply base IA
cilities in South Brooklyn, it was said
to-day at the department.. The House
committee, when officials of the Navy
Department were before it this week
indicated that the appropriation OF
$5o0,o0o sought for rental Of property
in South Brooklyn, from New York City
would not be granted and that the
Navy Department should arrange to
vacate tho property and build storage
facilities at tho operating base al
Naval officials frankly admitted to-
day that It would be more economical
for the government to build storage
houses at Jamestown than pay rental
for the South Brooklyn property to the
city Of New York. Should Congress.
fail to pass the appropriation Of $780,
600 the navy will remove the supplies
stored In the buildings now located on
city property, but will continue In oper-
alton at South Brooklyn the two build
ings Of the fleet supply base there
which are located on government owned
land.

getting some part of the additional per-
sonnel for which we have asked, and
we propose to carry on, doing the best
we can with the means provided, while
knowing that at this stage Of the game
it is probably out Of the question to
get all We want"

Gently by the national Legislative COM

In many respects this conference will
