partment needs Is an engineering director and a maintenance director. The system has to be changed, and we're making study of 1t. I may be all wet; may be all wrong"
 Commissioner Goss said that the economy committee is seeking more facts before taking formal action, but in the near future will file a full, written report on the Street Department, with recommendations for economies and changes. He again pointed out that Street De- partment appropriations for wages will be exhausted by November lst at the present rate.
 He meant no criticism of Superin- tendent of Streets Thomas J. Flem- ing, said MT. Goss, after his lengthy trade against the Street Depart ment.
 Over Reaching
 It is in connection with Mir. Flem- ing, according to the works board member, that the economy commit tee has given an example of over- reaching itself. There is a serious question, he said, as to whether the committee has not been usurping the powers of the works board in giving instruction to MT. Fleming who, under the charter, Is responsi- ble to the works group.
 The economy committee reported that Fire Chief Thomas F. Cava- naugh had agreed to budget slashes of $699.52 for the remainder of the year. and Police Superintendent William J. Roach to cuts of $669.10. In both cases the department head is giving up an appropriation for travelling expenses to national con- ventions.
 The committee reported also that pr. Edward J. Godfrey, health offi- cer, has reduced from $l 300 to $500 request for funds for pneumonia serum, once supplied by the state, but which now the city must buy. The committee recommended that charges be made against all receiv- ing the serum, with the welfare de- partment to be billed for those un- able to pay. It is proposed that revolving fund for serum be set up from the money paid in by those able to buy the serum.
 Pensions Asked
 Requests for pensions under Sem ator George T. Culhane's new pen- sion act were received by the board from Mrs. Henry H. Heitman, widow of the late fire chief; Mrs. Charles McEvoy, widow of the late retired deputy fire chief; and Mrs. James Tyrrell, widow of school janjtor. The requests were referred to the corporation counsel.
 A balance of $l, l,403.87 in the mu- nicipal golf course revolving fund was reported. Hamilton Park pavil- ion reported . balance of $3l3.
 A request by Tax Collector William A. Ennis that 516 names be added to the old age assistance tax list, and the sum of $l,548 charged against this department was granted.
 The board approved a transfer of $624 from the contingent fund to the fire department pension fund to pay a pension to former Fireman James Lynch for the remainder of the year. A special act of the legislature pro- vided pension of $l9.25 weekly for the firemen, who retired 10 years ago.
 Request Tabled
 The board tabled request by Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor for transfer of $l0000 to the claims fund to allow him to settle claims against the city out of court.
 The economy committee recom- mended that equipment not to be used at the isolation hospital be placed in storage at Brookside Home.
