The city, however, will be, able to meet a $10, 000 payroll] on that date for employees! who are on. an hourly wage basis, | The Mayor blamed the legal de-| partment of the last administration for: failure to obtain :a temporary loan of $1,100,000. He pointed out that the outgoing City Council-had-voted-on Dec. -16 to obtain a temporary loan of $750,000 for the general fund, $250,000 for-the park-department-and-$100,~ 000 for the firemen’s pension fund. Blames Bobbitt’s Oversight He pointed ant, however, that the legal department, then headed by Arch N. Bobbitt, apparently through an oversight failed to prepare newspaper legal advertisements as required by law which would have authorized the temporary loan. The ads will be printed tomorrow | "and a week from that date and 10 days after that the city will be permitted to seek bids for the loan. Asked for a statement, the Mayor ipped: . . “Do you think I need to make any t § comment?” 2 f adits Controller Philip Bayt said that : 8s far af he can learn from the Btate Tax Board of Accounts, the tity has about $50,000 in its cash balance, part of which will be used to meet the hourly wage payroll for such employees. as street cleaners Md stneod:

Mr, Bayt explained that the reason the sanitation and board of health departments will be able to meet payrolls is that the outgoing legal department did prepare proper legal advertisements which permitted the deartments to obtain temporary loans of $200,000 and $236, 000; respectively.
to meet its payrolls by Feb. 1 when the temporary loans will have! been secured. Not daly will city employees such 8s firemen and policemen go pay- | less, next ursday, Mr. Bayt said, : but fire department pensioners and widows will not receive thelr regu- | . ) lar checks on that date.
