TO MAKE DECISION ON $5O,0OO HAWLEY OFFER
Board of Finance Holds Special Meeting This
 Evening

With action on ex-Park Commits sioner B. A. Hawley's offer of loan of $50.o00 for park Improvements 10 be acted upon tonight at special session of the board of park com n1issioners, city officials admitted to- day the unusual situation has them, perpleXed and 1t seems likely that the offer cannot be accepted.
 Mir. Hawley has offered the uGe Of S50.000 for five years without inter. est, the loan being conditional upon acceptance by the city of program of park Improvements which he will submit, and also that the Sf0.00e yearly repayments be not included In thc park appropriations in such way as 10 effect reduction of tlgat amount from the budget of current expenses.
 Chairman Edward F. Hall of the board of finance and taxation has been studying the matter for the past week and he said today he ha1 not yet decided on any method he can recommend by which the cit
 might take advantage Of the offer Senator Hall. who directs the f1nanc- ing policies of il,e city, has previous ly pointed out that the city can raisp funds only by bond sales or taxa ton. When the charter amend ments now pending become effective. the city will be allowed to extend payments for important city work over a period of five years. but an emergency must exist and these loans can he made only when pay ment out Of taxation would create great burden. The borrowing limit is S100,0oo.
 It has already been voted 10 build and equip a fire house construct re- frigerating plant at the municipal slaughter house and carry out program of road work with this Sl00,000 and V Sj0,o00 was to be taken for park purposes the pro- gram would be greatly altered. Chairman Hall. Mayor Paonessa and other members of the city govern ment are understood to be opposed to such procedure. Unless some scheme not yet evolved is brought into play before this evening, the likelihood Is that the Hawley offer will not be accepted.
