Tlic blame for the financial problem Arising out of the necessity ot appro priating millions for badly needed street repairs out of current revenue is placed bv Mr. firuenberg upou city and state officials who ripped out the accounting nnd business financing, scheme originally Included in the charted. Declining to comment upon the adequacy or inadequacy of the S.IOO.OOO for street repairs and the $1,000,000 for repaying, the bend of the bureau takes the stand that the city will be better off in the future if repaying i done from current revenues in order to catch up with time lost by reason of tlh; war. Sir. Oruenberg, who is a property owner, declared today he would rather shoulder an added burden than have posteritv pay for repairs and repaving that would be automatically cared for had the charter tinkers kept hands off. "Had Connelly, Walton and Schaf fer not ripped out sections of the char- ter that would havq allowed the city a modern nystcm of financing, such bh is recognized and used by public corpora tions," hf said, 'depreciation would have rarcd for streetR needing repaving and the work could be done as a cap ital outlay instead of out of current revenues. , "If this system of financing had beeu left intact, provision would have been made whereby depreciated street paving i could nave been written ott tnc dooks as of no value, thus permitting of a capi 'tal outlay. As such was not'the case, '.be chaitcr specifically provides that ;epaviug and all wonc ot a similar na ture must be met by current revenues. The present situation is a serious one nnd probably can only be met by au Increase in the tax rate." Chairman Gaffney, of Councils' finance committee, takes the stand that streets requiring an entirely new pave ment should be paid for out of long term loan funds and that only repairs nnd small sections of repaving need como from current revenues raised by taxation. Notwithstanding this view, Chairman Gaffney has agreed to an ex penditure of .$2,000,000 during 1020. When visited oy Chief Bunlap. of the Highway Rureau, Controller Walton insisted that he would comply with the exact letter of the charter and will not approve any warrants for street re pairs or street repaving from funds other than current revenues. .

SISTINE SINGERS DELIGHT Brlng Music Usually Associated Only With Ancient Cathedrals The Sistine Quartet brought to a large audience in the Academy of Music last night the sort of beauty that one as sociates with the impressive, resound ing, mysterious spaces of a gieat cathe cdral. A male soprano and a male contralto aro rarities to the concert stage of this countfy. However, the mellowness of Scnor Luigi Gentili's 'contralto and the rich vigor nnd bell-toned soprano of Senor Alessimdro Gabrielli proved as delightful as most rarities arc. Tho art of the Sistine Quartet is very striking and very unusual, nnd the numbers of their concert were care fully selected. The program wns di vided into two parts. During the first part the ipiartet appeared in crimson vestments. The selections in the sec ond half were pastoral. 1'alestrina s "La cruua mia nemica, which is the lament of a youth over the coldness of his sweetheart, held within It the grief of all lovers. It was sung with high charm. But the "Mottcto." bv Vittoria. which is sung on Holy Thursday, and which Is a cry of grief of the Virgin Mary before the lifeless body ot Llinst, sur passed the l'alcstriua selection in p'oig nnnt charm. It is significant that the ecclesiastical selections in every in stancp seemed far superior to the lay lyrics. Muller's "II rirorna del gregge," a concluding number of the program, was a tone picture of the return of sheep to the fold. The sound of tinkling bells about the sheep's necks is pictured with delightful color in this poem. A novelty wnien pairca in a tasnion with "II ritorna" was Lasso's "La Canzone del Follonc, a madrigal, throughout which one hears tho beat ing of a worker in felt on the cloth with his stick. The concert ended with "The Star Spangled Banner" sung in Italian, "SANSEVERIA" SHIRTS NEXT Commercial Museum Shows Rota rlans New Yucatan Plber A new fiber which may .take, the place of silk, cotton or linen was brought to the attentlou of members of tho Rotary Club today at their luncheon at the ISellevuc-Stratforrt by lir.-WUlinm V Wilson, director of the Commercial Mu seum.
