This fund the rlvcnlne- l.edgpr advocated re turning to the users of gas. but municipal financiers opposed the scheme on the ground that It was too badly needed for governmental purposes. The action ot Mayor Smith and Chair man Gaffney In advocating the taking nf more than JSOO.OOO for the support ot sol diers' dependents and placing tho expen ditures, of such a vast sum in tlm hands of a counclhnanlc committee Is taken by many to be the opening move In a plan to blnme any future tax Increase on war time needs and expenditures. This, It Is hoped, would give a plausible pretext for advancing the rato or in returning to the old plan of borrowing money for thirty years to pay for soap, leid pencils, etc. Certainly the need for tho fund for cut -rnt expenses Is Just ns great as when the agitation to hae It returned to the gas consumer was under wav. Heforn election the councilman!!' finan ciers face a situation which, although not unusual in municipal finances, would (.tag ger the heads of most private concerns. It is nothing more nor less than the need to nnd at least J2.000.000 to pay bills till the close or the jear. "With only a small surplus axallahlf the task would appenr ne.vt to Impossible. The ji.OOU.OOO or more needed is made up as follows: $400,000 t comply with ditectlons of the .lolm C. Johnson will In taking ocr the art trea sures of the former Philadelphia!!: $1,200.- ouii to meet salary demands not provided for by previous appropriations; at least $300,000 to pay for coal for the Water Iltire.iu. which is now being bought on the. "donation" plan; $200,000 to pav lnteirst on loans alieady floated, and possibly more to cover loans jet tn be floated; $200,000 lor deficiency bills; $30,000 for the continu ation until January of the war relief work, and possibly other Items that have not yet come to light. MAV FLOAT THMPOUAIiV LOAN This situation can be met in a number of v.vs, the most usual of which Is to float a temporary loan of $1,200,000 to meet sal ary needs nnd to provide for the most pressing demands and to let the remainder of the bills run over Into ISIS. Provision. however, under the .Johnson will, must be made to take over the ait treasures at . once or they will pass to the Metropolitan Art .Museum of New Yuri-. The floating of a temporary loan Is merlv a make shift plan that in no way relieves the 191 receipts of the burden of making up defi cits. It merely postpones the daj of reck oning for four months and t licit automati cally becomes a charge on the revenues for the new year. The pay-as-you-go act was given full force and effect n e,-ir ago when. It was declared, the clt.v would In the future live within Its Income. The present muddle Is the outcome of the first year with a higher tax rite and with every effort extended to keep down expenses. The first year, how ever, hardly tells the story, as the financiers to keep 191S expenses within Income at the piesent tasv.rate would have to pare depart mental denfands to a point where retrench ments would result that would leave the departments unable to pioceed with even the most piesslng perm inent Improvements for which loan moneys are available. The de mands lu the shaps of budgets that are dallv being presented to Chairman Oaffney, of the Finance Committee, are far In excess of the approximately $36,000,000 that the city was able to provide this year with the Increased tax rate on realty. In many cases demands for ISIS exceed those for 1917. when departments asked for a staggering total far In excess of any hoped-for revenue returns. This Is du tu part tu increases in the police force and to a tlary Increases already authorized by Coun cils for the closing months of this year That these demands cvjuld not be met. even If twenty-five cents were added to the nl ready heavy burden of tax on realty, Is ad mitted. When the financiers get down to work after their Bummer recess every effort will be made to soft-pedal discussion of tax Increases, and attention will be centered on w tys and means of supplying most pressing needs without tax discussion until after lbs votes are counted In November. In the meantime unofficial estimates of new realty tax burdens range from ten to twenty-five cents, with the alternative of returning within the next twelve months to the old system if long-term borrowing for current needs.

"It Is generally known by the old resi dents of the county that the case referred to by AVeeks was thrown out ot the Media court for the reason that It had nothing to stand on.

The Twenty-eighth AVard llepubllcnn Committee, which Is leading the battle against the Mayor In the ward, has sent a challenge to Smith to appear on the plat form at the meeting and debate the Issues of the watd right with George Kterr. Jr. who has marshaled a strong element In tho ward against tho Mayor, Tho meeting will be held In Students' Chapter Hall, Kusquehanna avenue below liroad street. The letters challenging the Mayor to debate the Issues wero sent by special delivery yesterday to his home In (Jlenstde. to Atlantic City and to City Hall. Should tho Mayor fall to appear, Sterr has promised tho voters of the ward that he will take the platform and tell some "hot stuff" dealing with Smith and the present administration.

This statement Is bo absurd and ridiculous that It Insults tho Intelligence ot the peoplo of tho Twenty-eighth AVard and of Philadelphia generally, that a man ot your potential Influence did not have tho power to light n grievous wrong as you seem to intimate In your various state ments to the newspaper representatives as well ns your personal and political friends. The fact Is that jolt have never had tho courage or the slightest Intention of seeking vindication In a court of Just ca because you have had every oppdrtunlty and dodged the issue. AVA1TKI) KOn TWO YKAltS Sleir then declared that the Mayor, in stead ot giving the two factious of tho Or ganization a "iSO-GO" deal when he became Mayor, "threw down Senator Penrose nnd Mc.N'Ichol, the men who made It possible for him to be elected Mayor." ' "I waited two yeats to open fire and give the people of the Twenty-eighth AVard some Idea of your trenchcry and ungratefulness," concludes the challenge. Spirited attacks denouncing 'the stand taken by Mayor Smith In connection with the transit leases were made at a crowded meeting of the Twenty-eighth AA'ard Repuh llcan Club, 2114 AVest York street.
