The mayor said that this didn't appear to be so and John s. Rae of Grihenhagen & Associates, sub- etantiated the mayors contention, remarking that the $14,000 was not included in the controllers esti- mate.
 Military Tax
 Issue was made following the con- kroller'S reiterated request for de- cision on whether the city will take his suggestion and delay payment of the $122,500 state and military tax, thereby mourning g per cent penalty, or about $1,800, payab'- the first of the year. The controller had "estimated" that the city would have @ $38,500 balance if it paid the mil- tary and state tax but let all other bills of vendors hang fire until af- ter JanualV l.
 The board has until December 10 to decide whether to incur the in- terest penalty and the matter was postponed until later as there will be frequent meetings during the next several days.
 "The $14,OoO liquor revenue was something you didn't expect" Mayor Hayes told the controller and the Griffenhagen officials present con- cured.
 In another instance, when $8,000 regular salaries for sewer work was sought by the street department for approved by the board, MT. Rae of Griffenhagen, was asked about the transfer. He said that the street de- partment needed the money and the may r, taking up the financial ex- pert's comment on the reason for this underestimate O. necessary funds to complete the years payroll, told the controller:
 ''The books downstairs are not up to date so you're week short in your estimates of the money needed to carry us to the end of the year"
 References To Trial
 Mayor Hayes made two references to the trial in superior court where he is a defendant. To the ap..- ~ent amusement of sizeable delegation of teachers and board of education members waiting to discuss the school departments budget, and causing smiles among the finance

board members, the mayor excused himself from comment on applica- tion for consideration from two sources.
 When the request of Town Clerk Mary c. Gilmartin for action on a deficit" of $122 in election expenses beyond the controllers contract for printing was read, Commissioner Major w. Judge asked the mayor what he would suggest.
 "The chair refuses to answer" !" Mayor Hayes declared. "He is now on trial before the superior court on charge of creating deficits"
 Commissioner John H. Goss moved that the controller be instructed to check up and report on the deficit" at the next meeting, to explain why the bill is for more than the con- tract the controller let.
 Police Service
 A petition from residents of Fair lawn and Mill Plain sections for as- signment of policeman, instead of occasional visits" of the motor pa- trol, found Commissioner Judge ask ing the mayor agam what he sug- gested be done.
 Tn past years when such requests came in from communities I have arranged to give them protection, !" the mayor answered. Therefore, de- flcits occurred and now we are on trial for creating deficits for doing it. I think we should give them what they ask"
 Aldermanic President Patrick M. Perriello remarked that the budget set up for the police department which, it appeared cut out all re- quests for additional patrolmen, is only tentative"
 The request for the police patrol was from Joseph T. Brophy in be- half of the East End Community club and asked the mayor to fuse his influence to obtain a policeman for the section, citing that one for merly was assigned there but that now the motor patrol was the only protection given the area.
