It appeared certain, however, that the
money would have to come from
source other than the general fund, as
it will be only $4,000 more than the
previous year, according to figures sub
mitted by Comptroller @. e. Armstrong
More than half Of this sum will have to
be apportioned to care for shortages IN
the public improvement branch of the
comptroller's office. The Spring street
sewerage and paving project win cal
for an added appropriation of $4,000.
Armstrong estimates the 1925 reve
nue. at 173,470-nearly a half mil
lion dollars more than the current bud
get totals. But this includes $500,
500 for the board of education and vi,
OO7, 500 for the sinking fund, and Meth
err of these funds can be touched fol
any .other purpose. Thus, the genera
fund will be $685., $40, which only tops
the present general fund by $SO,OOO.

Watson readily admitted the job when

said Wednesday night:
Information in our hands indicate

This information is taken from reports
of robberies in our files laid to Kant
