TRANSFER OF $l6
 RAISES QUESTION
Corporation Counsel Asks for Ruling-Transfers
 Needed for WPA Work

Whether the city's fiscal year ends on December 31 or January 31, is one of the propositions involved in a $16 transfer which may come before the board of finance at an adjourned meeting at 4 o'clock to- day.
 The question is raised whether there can be transfer from the con- tingency fund to salary item for December, the appropriation from which this normally would be taken exhausted during the slicing of the 1888 budget by the finance board and Griffenhagen & Associates. Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor has been asked for a rul- ing by the finance board, on sugges- ton of the controller and his assist ant.
 The finance board is expected to approve various transfers of funds in the engineering and welfare de- partment so that the board of al- dermen can act on the transfers at the latter boards meeting tonight. Unless some of the transfers are made it will mean the stopping of a number of WPA projects with the loss of employment for more than 100 men.
