DISCUSSES
 STREET FINANCES
Holds Conference Today With Superintendent of
 Streets SCOtt=Snlith

Mayor Vincent A. Scully and Superintendent Herbert Scott- Smith, of the street, sewer and department conferred for several hours at the City Hall today, the mayor announcing after the con- ference that the discussion had centered about the departments program for the year.
 The conference is one of a series which he will hold with various de- partment heads, the mayor stated.
 It is believed that much of the discussion centered on finences. The departments appropriation for 194O has been cut sharply from what it was in previous years, and every possible economy will have to be made if regular service is to be given during the year.
 The department personnel is much smaller than it has been in the past. The payroll item in the department appropriations for this year was based on the number of employees remaining after the wholesale dismissals made by Supt. Scott Smith following his appoint ment last fall by former Mayor Patrick M. Perriello.
