through a deficiency appropriation
 The deficiency appropriation Of quested by the fire and police boards represents a S30,OOO.00 shortage in the appropriation for each of these boards, caused by the transfer of these amounts from the appropria- tions made at the beginning of the year to other purposes.
 It will be seen, therefore. that these departments have not exceeded the appropriations made for their sup port at the beginning of the year.
 In connection with deficiencies for which appropriations have been made for the fiscal year 192122, an injunc- ton was secured restraining the City from paying the liabilities incurred Tn violation of the Charter provision re- Iating to that subject
 The injunction restrained the City from paying bills owed to the Bridge port Construction Company. This company was selected for the reason that it appeared that it's officers at the City, which is represented by the vouchers made out in it's name, knew the law relating to appropriations.
 It is unfortunate that shortly after the in junction was secured restrain ing the City from paying the amount claimed by this company another suit was brought restraining the City from paying all deficiencies. This has in jured merchants and others who sold goods to the City or performed Serv- ices for it in good faith, and who were probably unaware of the provision of he Charter.
 It is probably true also. that they were without any knowledge as to whether it was proposed to pay their bills out of a regular appropriation or a deficiency appropriation, as has been the practice in prior years.
 The action was brought under the provisions of the Charter which pro- vide that no board shall contract debts in excess of it's appropriation, and that if any such debt is so contracted, it shall not be paid out of any future appropriations
 Regarding the amounts now used by the City for liabilities incurred up to April l, 1921. which are the sub ject of deficiency appropriations, at tention is invited to the fact that the statement of the condition of the an nual estimate of receipts and expen- ditures as at January l, 1921, else where in this report, shows an unap- propriated surplus as of that date of $16S,312.97, and that in accordance with the same section of the Charter previously referred to, the Common Council may, by two-thirds vote of all the members thereof, make a special appropriation, provided that the un- appropriated revenues of the City are sufficient for the purpose.
 As I have previously explained, this unappropriated surplus is due to the unappropriated surplus shown by the annual Budget of the Board of Aps portionment and Taxation for the year 1920-21, plus the cash on hand at the beginning of this fiscal year which was available for appropriation and which was not included in the es- timate of miscellaneous revenue. less such additional appropriations as have been made since April 1, 1920.
 The amount of this unappropriated
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-05-23
THE TIMES: MONDAY, MAY g. 1921

surplus which may be appropriated should not change, whether the total amounts estimated to be collected at the beginning of the year are collect ed or not.
 In addition to this amount which could have been appropriated by the City Council, and which probably can yet be appropriated, it is prob able that further provision may be made for the payment of the obliga- deficiency appropriations through the unexpended balance of appropriations not entirely expended on March 31, 1921.
 It is usual where the appropriation accounts are properly maintained to balances of appropriations, after all charges against such appropriations have been entered, to another account, which may be used for the payment of liabilities existing at the end of the fiscal year, or if not required for that may be included in the annual esti mate of miscellaneous revenues for the succeeding year.
 Such, practically. is the law in Bridgeport. The Charter provides that where an appropriation is made for any special purpose other than for sewer account, street improvement account, school account and bridge account, the sum so appropriated, if or the unexpended DOT ton thereof, as the case may be, shall not be covered back into the treasury at the end of the fiscal year. but shall, at the expiration of thirty days from the end of the fiscal year, be placed to the credit of a fund, to be designated as the contingent fund, and said board may, at any special duly warned for such pur-
 @hr credit of such contingent fund for any other purpose or may consider the amount to the credit of the same as revenue or assets fo the City, in
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-05-23

1919-2O. as we'll as for the nine months period from April l, 1921, tol December S1, 1920.
 As the present fiscal year had not vet closed, there would, Of course, be 10 unexpended balance Of app-opria- tions as yet in this period.
 The appropriation ledgers for the two completed years mentioned have not been closed, and the unexpended balances of appropriations are not shown.
 As a result of the methods employ ed in handling the appropriations heretofore the uoexpendcd balances of the appropriations have, in reality, been covered back into the treasury at the end of the fiscal year. which the Charter specifically says shall not be done.
 While without information as to tie status of tn appropriations on March

making its annual appropriation for city expenses.
 A qualification follows which ap- parently restricts this power some what by requiring that such unex- pended balances must be represented by cash in the treasury at the time such action is taken.
 Appropriations made at the be- ginning of a fiscal year are only esti- mates of the probable expenditures to be made, and it rarely happens that the actual expenditures at the end of the year coincide with the ex- penditures as estimated more than a year in advance.
 During the course of the year it will develop that certain appropriations made are not sufficient to carry on the work of the city properly and that other appropriations made at the beginning of the year are not neces-
