Anderson, who manifestly has something up his sleeve.
relative to cost of equipment for the city treasurer's department, today issued a public statement in which he denied the delay of the aldeimen in passing a proposed order had cost the city $700. The statement is as follows: agree with the mayor that a public charge that the Board of Aldermen by unneresaary delay has cost the city $700 is a serious matter, because it tends to undermine public confidence in its representative board. It was charged some 10 days ago in our newspapers that the Board of Aldermen by Voting not to rubber stamp immediately, without adequate information, a financial order which would huv payroll machines for the department of the city treasurer, had cost the city this sizable sum because of a rise in ceiling price. WAS prepared last night publicly to clear the board of this charge by proving that it was a false one. However the city treasurer failed to make his appearance although this same order WAS on our agenda of business.
number of counts, the accusation 1 maintain could not have substantiated, and it, furthermore, would seem that the Board of Aldermen in its insistence on having adequate facts before it approves a large disbursem*nt of the city's funds has, in all probability saved money for our city. "Since the city treasurer was apparently unable to attend last night's Council meeting. and since all of US would like to sep our city adopt upto-date payroll methods (it was some three years ago that I urged at a budget hearing that the city treasurer modernize obsolete pay- roll procedures). I am requesting the mayor arrange a meeting of the city treasurer, city auditor, and city purchasing agent, and representatives of local payroll machine companies with interested members of the Board of Aldermen, as soon as possible. Since there have already been statements to the press on the matter, AS has been statd above, I suggest the press be invited also."

The Navy originally asked approximately $6.000.000,000, including contract Authority and reappropriations.

The proposed fund is $8.118.928.879 below current year propriations.
Original Budget Bureau estimates, the committee said. were "insufficient" to insure A Navy "that may be expected to meet any contingency reasonably foreseeable in the future."
