Aldermen Override
Board Of Finance
Pass Vote Authorizing Expenditure Of $1,000 for ADJ
ditional Electric Lights; Narrow-M indedness

The board Of aldermen took over
as final word In city affairs last
night: that Is, o majority Of the
Republican aldermen. led by Re-
publican Aldermanic Leader George
l.. Kingston. pressed through an
appropriation of $1,000 for street
lights over recommendation Of the
board Of finance that the entire
balance, $4,000, be transferred In
to the reserve contingency fund
where the city's economy items are
being accumulated against the cash
deficit and the unbalanced budget
Of this year.
Criticism Made
There was criticism Of the II.
nance board and Democratic AL
dermanic Leader Thomas p. Kelly
lost q lone fight to have the sum
set ND In the contingency fund af-
ter he had forced committee con-
sideration of the matter, pointing
out TO the board that It could not
vote for expenditure Of money until
II has been referred to committee
and the board Of finance. Alder
manic President Patrick M. Per-
riello and Alderman Kingston were
shown the charter section relating
to this provision and the matter
went to o committee whose report
Savoring the new lights was passed,
The board finally moved trans
fer Of the $685. balance to the con-
tingency fund and, later. $3.50 more
from the street light item to the
same fund.
Alderman Kingston moved that
the public works boards recommen-
dation that the lights be installed
be adopted IN the face of the fl
nance boards request for reconsid-
Grafton and transfer Of the $4,000
to the contingency fund.
Marrow Minded"
'.The board Of finance Is very
naETow-minded in this" Alderman
Kingston remarked. "It is O small
sum and the lights are badly need
ed. They are for sections where 1t
Is pitch dark. would like to know
how the finance board members
would feel If their lights were
turned Off"
He said that the aldermen had
urged economies in February and
that the finance board had not
come around to 1t until June. AS
a matter Of record, the 10 per cent
salary cut Of city employees to keep
the welfare department going was
announced May II and went into eff
feet June /: but by the time the fl
nance board had earmarked about
$4,000 for the contingency fun,
carving this from various city
budgets.
Many other transfers to the con-
tlngency fund as proposed by the
board Of finance were finally made
BY the board. Among them were
some $500 from the welfare de-
partment relief item to three WPA
projects, sanitary sewers, storm wa
