$50,000 FUND IS DOOMED FOR MANAGER SHIFT Council to Deny Money, Finance Chairman Says. The Indianapolis City Manager Leagued request for a *SO 000 contingency fund to meet emergency expenditures in connection with the shift to the manager form in January. will be denied. Edward W. Harris, council finance chairman, said today. Ccuncilmen feel it is unnecessary to create an emergency fund to meet expenditures under the new plan. League leaders asked establishment of the contingency fund to safeguard against a legal ticup of funds which would hamper the proper working of the manager plan. Reminded that the city manager

law permits commissioners to draw not more than $4 000 salary a year and leaves the manager's salary to the discretion of the commission, Harris said: Councilmen have gone along here all right on a SSOO salary. We must work out this budget as if everything was going to continue. I’m not in favor of appropriating money when I don't know who will spend it.” Harris declared. The 1930 budget lists the salary for councilmen, who will be commissioners under the new form of government at SSOO a year and the salary of the mayor, who will be ' jeceeded bv a manager, at $7,500. It was proposed to meet the increase in salary and expenditures for other items not, budgeted from the contingency fund. John P. White, councilman and manager leader, said the council learned the law is flexible, permitting the new commission to transfer money from one department, to another. This would make it possible for the new commission to redistribute the 1930 appropriation to conform with the new set up. Y. M. C. A.
