FOR DEFICIENCY BILLS
Temporary Loan to Cover

for a temporary rouncllmanlc loan of
II 100 000 during the closing monlhi of the
present jear Till leRart of debt which

The question of raising imm) by 'trans

and it was decided that a part of the most
pressing bills could be p-ild In this man

until the cltj finance are in a more healthy
condition
An Incomplete list of deficiency bills
show that the Department of Supplies hss

wa made that In the future the city would

Dlnctor MacLaughlln of the Department
of .Supplies is held responsible for the
major portion of the deficiency when In
reality most of his share was created
through Councils' failure to appropriate
enouKh money for coal and other supplies
for the entire twelve month of the year
Tho item for coal for the water work and
other plant I fixed at S275 000 Most of
this coal was bought by th city on the
donation" plan and at unheard-of price
charged by eoal dealers who an ommodated
the city with large supplies of oal at a time
when the city had no rnorie to pay for the
supplies
To make up Items of this size from Items
for salaries and supplies is a shifting of
the burden and only postpones the final sit
tiement until near the close of the yt'tirt
at which time Councils without a tote of
the people, will be able to borrow the
money which It Is proposed to find b trans
