will loda approve this figure, which is
between .S3.000.000 and $1,000,000
lower than estimates prepared by Direc
tor Wilson.
Appropriations to Public Safety this
.ear totaled $10,070,11.7.", and trans
fers brought the total still corr to the
allowances made lij the Mii.vor and
Chairman (InfTiicv, in tlieir original est I
mate for 102(1. It is predicted that when
complete the 1020 budget for the de
nnrtmrnt will be between $rj,(W.UUi
and $1:5,000,000.
The budget taken up today is in
complete in many ways, and makes no
provision of nny kind for increases in
salary or new Places or for other neces
sary expenses. After it has been ap
pioved the overlooked or neglected Items
will be taken up eurlj nct week
si Mali) Increases
The supplemental budget, unhiding
salary increases jmd new places, asks
for incieasid amounts in iuit.v branch
of the department. In the director's
ofllcc salary increases amounting to
$15.10 are asked, while in the clerical
force of the Iturcaii of Police increases
needed would total $,'18,000 more. The
personal service item in the bureau will
be increased $153,810 if needs arc pro
vided for, while increases and new
places on the police force will bring
the total up S700.000 and S(05,000.
respectively.
The needs of the Pmreau of I'iie
arc hardly less costly. Those that have
not been provided for include- S5(i.T20

iii,.u.jm lor increases tor various
classes of ofticers down to tillermen;
$172,200 for increased pay fo" hnvemen

needs greater funds than does the De

Coroner's Inquest Reveals Ferry
Turned, After Signaling Tug,
to Avoid Transport
WANT PRE-WAR RULE BACK
Coionei Knight will mnfer with1
Captain ot the Port C A. Coehian. I
asking that 11 deadline for nnchoragc I
lie ic-established in the Delaware oft
the central part of the city, as in pre-
war ouys, us a resuu 01 111s iiivcsiiku
llon into the collison between the tug
Caspian nnd the ferryboat Atlantic City
on November ll.-
The crash cost four lives, and from
testimony offered nt an inquest, which
began shortly before noon, it appeared
thai the lack of such a deadline was
partly lesponslble.
Testimony offered included a report
into the accident made by the United
Stntes steamboat inspectors, who have
suspended the license of the ferr.vbont
pilot, 11. N. Rond. for tluee mouths.
According to the report the ferryboat,
which was off; Christian street on its
way to this city in 11 heavy fog. sounded
two blunts of its whistle, meaning that
it would turn to port. However, through
the fog the transport West (iauibo.
anehoied near midstream, loomed up
sinlilenlv. To avoid Colliding with the
West llaniho the pilot swerved the
ferrjbo.it to starboard instead of lu
pott, as he hud signaled
As the boat turned, its stem swung
diiectlj into the path of (he steel lug
Caspian, which tme into it. killing
four men who were on the ferryboat.
Coroner Knight points out that prior
to the war no ship was permitted to
anchor in t tin stream off the central
part of the city because of tralnc con
ditions. During I lie war this ruling
was revoked because of the unusunl
number of ships, which otherwise would
have congested the port. The ruling
was never re-established.
Following the presentation of the re
port of the steamboat inspectors. Joseph
Cannon, mate of the Caspian, who was
in command of the lug when the acci
dent occurred, was called to the stand.
