The adoption of a resolution strlldng
out of the loan bill all provisions for In
crenties In salaries and the creation of
new municipal positions, and the Intro
duction of another resolution by Chairman
Joseph P. Gaffney proposing the division
of the money fieeded for present expense:!
and the 1915 deficiency today marked the
meeting of Councils' Finance Committee
for the discussion of the $86,000,000 loan.
Chairman Oaffney's resolution, the first
announcement of, his heralded finance
program, proposed the creation of a two-
year loan apart from the large loan, which
would provide 4,300,303.23 for money
needed at present and nn added Item of
$246,400 to cover the 1915 deficiency.
The curbing of reckless expenditures
without a thought as to the borrowing rcy
pacity actuated the Gaffney resolution, tle
author stated. ,
The resolution calling upon the Finance
Committee to strike out of the loan bill all
provisions for Increase In salaries of city
employes and the creation of new posi
tions was Introduced by Common Council
man Jtobert Smltii, of the 36th Ward.
The need of economy was emphasized
by Chairman Gaffney In n speech before
the committee,' Citing, a recent decision
of the Supreme Court In '.the case of
Schuldice V. Pittsburgh, he said, in part:
"I see the need for great municipal
economy. The corporate authority and
Finance Committee of a municipality ate
just as much concerned with the spirit of
that decision of the Supreme Court, if not
more, as with Its technical legal effect.
"The notice served on municipal au
thority by that decision, as I read be
tween Its lines. Is that a halt must be
made upon unwise and unsound flnanceer
