MONEY IS FOUND
FOR IMPROVEMENTS
[Continued From First Page.]
which will leave at least $2,600 In the
fund.
The total sum on kand in surpluses
and available balances, is $30,563.10
and with all possible accounts
charged up against this amount there
still remains at hand close to $17,000
that may be appropriated for general
purposes and which C'.uld be, there
fore used to complete the improve
ments. This is mpre than needed.
In addition there has not been taken
into calculation the possibility of a
surplus in the general fund at the
close of the year. The average sur
plus at the close of the city's fiscal
year for a long time has been $7,000
and not infrequently it has run be
tween $12,000 and $15,000.
Gorgas Admits Correctness of Figures
The correctness of these figures was
admitted by Commissioner Gorgas,
who, In response to a resolution adopt
ed last week, submitted a report show
ing the total outstanding Interest fund
since April 1, 1908. The balance was
shown to he $20,885.38 on January 1,
1915. In submitting his report Mr.
Gorgas said:
"In answer to the above resolution
I might state that this is the first time
1 have been called upon since a mem
ber of this Council, to make a report,
[outside of the one made annually and
[ sworn to. I cannot find money on the
'street or pick it up where it is not
lost, any quicker than my neighbor.
If the above resolution has back of it
some such purpose X will utterly fall
in its answer."
, The balance April 1, 1914, was
(shown to have been $45,165.13, and in
explaining the difference in the total
of the first of April, 1914, and the first
of January, 1915, Mr. Gorgaa said:
"On the 14th day of July, 1914, by
lan Ordinance of Council, $15,000, was
taken-from this fund and appropriated
to the completion of the dam in the
Susquehanna River; $5,000 was taken
to complete Paxton creek improve
ment, and SIO,OOO was taken to pay
[the city's share of laying asphaltum
pavements. The change of the fiscal
year from April to January had some
thing to do with the amount entering
into that fund so that with the be
ginning of this year it had $5,885.38
cash, and $15,000 bonds or a total of
$20,885.38, out of which the coupons
not yet presented for payment before
January 1, 1915, are to be paid. It
appears there is a balance of $20,885.-
38, but from a book in the City Treas
urer's office, in which the coupons
paid are entered since the improve
ment loan was started in 1902, about
! SB,OOO have not yet made their ap
' pearance, leaving an apparent surplus
lot $12,885.38."
In conclusion Mr. Gorgas' report
stated:
"The whole amount of the appropri
ation of $12,000 to pay the interest on
the loan of $300,000, authorized In
1913 may not be needed for that pur
pose, as only about half of bonds au
thorized have been issued—this be
cause the Sinking Fund Commission
ers did not deem it wise to Issue the
total amount until the money was act
ually needed, thus saving interest on
the bonds instead of having the money
[lying Idle in bank. But the amount of
j money yet needed to carry on the city
I government should enter Into the
| aniount this appropriation could be
| depleted.
| "The water department, at the be
| ginning of the year, had a cash balance
i of $82,316.64 and SIIO,OOO invested in
| our own bonds. I have been fold the
law will not allow any of these funds
to be used but for water purposes
only."
Balances Available
From time to time both the mayor
and Mr. Gorgas questioned the bal
ances which Messrs. Bowman, Lynch
and Taylor pointed out as available.
The three, however, had Mr. Gorgas'
last annual report right at hand and
supported their statements by the
figures.
Mr. Taylor finally figured out the
total balance available from these
sources: Dog licenses, $448.48; milk
and meat licenses, $1,216.78; fines and
forfeitures. $1,071.26: outstanding in
terest funds, $13,000; State tax re
serve, $1,246.25, a total of $16,982.77.
The amount thus realized will be
a trifle more than sufficient to pay for
the completion of the River Wall In
cluding the gap at Market street.
Commissioner Taylor started the
ball rolling when he suggested that
inasmuch as "we are all of one mind
in this matter, so far as the com
pletion of the work is concerned, if
the money can be found, let us try
to find the money."
Then Item by item Commissioners
Bowman. Lynch and Taylor pointed
out where the necessary balances
could he found. Mayor Royal ob
jected first to the balance in the fines
and forfeiture fund. Then he found
fault with the balance, that remained
in the dog license fund. In the former
fund the mayor pointed out that the
year's expense had not been com
puted as yet and that he didn't know
what the fines and forfeitures for this
year will amount to.
"But the fund is self-sustaining isn't
it?" inquired Mr. Taylor, "I've heard
you say that on previous occasions."
"Oh. yes, I know," said the mayor.
"And you still believe it is self-sus
taining?" added Mr. Bowman.
"Yes, I believe so," said the mayor.
"Then," replied Mr. Bowman, "there
is still this balance available."
Commissioner Taylor next offered
the plan worked out by Messrs. Bow
man. Lynch and himself to complete
the big public improvement nlong the
River Front.
Oppernian Interest Reduced
At their request, Mr. Taylor said,
City Solicitor Seitz had conferred with
W. H. Opperman and company's coun
sel and the latter agreed to charge the
city only SIOO interest on the unpaid
award of $22,767.09 of the arbitra
tors. The total Interest would amount
to about S3OO.
"Now we have tho money," said he,
"why not provide for the completion
of this work? We've all said we want
to see the work completed and you,
Mr. President, and Mr. Gorgas, have
declared yourselves for ttie completion
of the work if the money can be
found."
"Have you known of a time, Mr.
Taylor, when Council figured so close
to its appropriation as this?" Inquired
Mr. Gorgas.
"We appropriated under the old
council more than $20,000 beyond our
estimated revenues." returned Mr.
Taylor. "And In that year we finished
with a balance of more than $13,000."
"Then." grinned Mr. Gorgas, "your
estimates couldn't have been cor
irect."
"We got them from the city control
ller," promptly retortefl Mr. Taylor.
"Well, the only thing to be done
then," added Mr. Gorgas, "is to get
over the ordinance making these ap
propriations."
Ordinance Offered
Mr. Lynch then offered the follow
ing ordinance that closed the contro
versy that has been agitating; Council
for so long:
"Authorizing the payment of the bal
ance necessary for the cost of com
pleting the construction of the in
tercepting sewer along the Susque
-1 hanna river, and making an ap
proprlatlon therefore.
"Whereas, the estimated cost ol
completing the construction of the In
tercepting sewer along the Susque
hanna river over and above the ap
propriations heretofore made ie $16,-
982.77; now, therefore,
"Section 1. Be it ordained by th«
Council of the City of Karrisburrg. and
it is hereby ordained by authority ol
the same. That the balance necessary
for the cost of completing the con
struction of the intercepting sewe*
along the Susquehanna river, to wit:
The sum of sixteen thousand, nine
hundred and eighty-two dollars and
seventy-seven cents, be and the same
is hereby authorized to be paid upon
monthly estimates, in accordance with
the terms of the contract for said Im
provement.
"Section 2. That the sum of six
; teen thousand nine hundred and
eighty-two dollars and seventy-seven
; cents be and the same Is hereby ap
propriated for the payment of the
above stated cost from the following
items, to wit:
Dog licenses $ 448.48
Milk and meat licenses. 1,216.78
Fines and forfeitures... 1,071.26
Outstanding in. fund.. 13,000.00
Reserve for State tax.. 1,246.25
Total $16,982.77
"Section 3. That all ordinances of
parts of ordinances in conflict here
with be and the same are hereby re
pealed."
following the introduction of the
measure Mayor Royal bemoaned tho
fact that he and Mr. Gorgas had been
accused of playing politics in holding
up the completion of the river wall
Improvements. Both Mr. Gorgas and
himself, he loudly declared, had always
been for the closing of the gap at
Market street if the money could bo
found. And since the other commis
sioners had found it, Mr. Royal said,
why of course both Mr. Gorgas and
himself were ready to go ahead with
the work.
Mr. Gorgas offered a resolution ask
ing Mr. Lynch for a statement of the
outstanding indebtedness on all of the
Improvements, including creek and
dam, and Mayor Royal added an
amendment to include the estimated
time for completing the gap job.
