by booze. A singing nation is a
contented nation, music will

Prospect of Retrenchment
to Make Up Deficit of
S27, 100000 Next Year
Is Anything but Hopeful

The prospect of retrenchment in the
various city departments TO make up
the $27,000,000 deficit in the Board
of Education allowance for 1921 docs
not appear hopeful, in view of the fact
that these departments have already
exceeded the 1920 budget allowances
by about S4,500,000 This is showr by
the excess budget figures compiled re-
Gently by the various departments for
the mptroller's Office.
Salary increases during the present
year account for a material part Of the
amount by which some of the depart
ments have exceeded their 1920 budget
allowances. while the issue of special
revenue bonds has been allowed to
cover certain part of the deficits or
eXcesses.

departments have exceeded their 1920
budget allowances. as taken from the

''POOR RICH" HIT
 HARD BY RENTS

New York, April IS Rent tn- creases levied against Inhabitants of the citys tenements are as nothing compared with those being demanded from well to do tenants of Thigh class apartments. according to a report of the mayors committee on rent prof. teering made public today. The "poor rich," according to the report, are be- ing asked to sign leases in some cases as high as 100 per cent. above their present rentals and are given but a few minutes to make up their minds, Unless they sign on the indicated dotted line the apartments are leased the next day to other applicants, ef- fective Oct. 1. present leases expire.
 J. W. lilly, chairman of the Mayors s Committee, is of the opinion, how ever, that Oct. will be a dark day for the Thigh class" apartment own CTS. He says that under the recently enacted rent laws the tenants can get stays of eviction that will keep them in their present quarters for another year. The landlords are taking a chance, however, insisting that the new laws apply only to tenements.
