NO WAGE INCREASE
 FOR CITY WORKERS
Board of Finance Informs Aldermen Necessary
 Funds Unavailable

No money is available to give city employees an increase in pay for the remainder of this year, the board of finance decided at meeting yesterday afternoon. The vote was taken in response to request from the boasd of aldermen for state ment on whether funds are avail- able.
 Aldermanic President John s. Monagan, presiding at the meeting, said that there are no appropria- tions from which the necessary transfers could be made. An 1n- crease for city workers in 1943 seems certain, he said, but there is no money available to grant any raise for the rest of this year.
 City Treasurer Serge A. Belanger reported that the balance in the city, as of September 30, was $2,290,- 44O. Controller Thomas M. Conlon reported that $150,000 borrowed from the general fund by the water fund last January has been repaid.

 Some people have asked if old pianos will be accepted. Raymond Planning, director of the drive, re- ported that the pianos will not be taken because of the difficult task involved in removing them from homes and then breaking them up in order that the metal might be salyaged.
 Serge Belanger is going all-out for the scrap drive. He is trans forming his back yard at 78 Pine street into a scrap metal depot. Belanger stated that he hoped all of his neighbors would contribute to the scrap pile. He added that in discussing his plan with Mayor Vincent A. Scully, the latter was very enthusiastic and hoped many more people in centralized loca- sions turned their yards or garages Into scrap depots. By having many of these scrap substations through out the city, the collection will be greatly Simplified on the day of hte big drive, Oct. IT.
