Several months ago city depart- ments returned part of theif annual appropriations to the general gov- srnment and the Money received is now in the hands of welfars de- partment officials. Asks Finance Board Action | , Mayor Quigley has negotiated | with Chairman Willlam H. Judd of the board of finance and taxation and asked him to call a meeting of the board within a few days. It is the mayor's intention to ask the| boar dto appropriate $100,000 for street repairs through the sale of bhonds, This money will be used to | replace a similar amount appro- | priated by the city government last | spring. The public works money will | be transferred to the welfare de- partment. Mr. Quigley explained it is impossible to use the street bond money for charity work but it would be possible to use the board of public works finances. Says Dept. Heads Approve Before Mayor Quigley decided on the Christmas fund plan he talked with several department heads un- officially and they assured him of their cooperation, he said today. | Among those who expressed a will- | ingness to contribute more than | two per cent is Judge Stanley J. Traceski. Mr. Quigley explained that only those who have set salar- fes and whose income has not been affected by the business depression would be included. - When he was asked what the estimated fund| would be, he said he could not be- gin to figure it. Under the plan the money will be | under the supervision of Miss Cora | Beale/”Miss Ruth Bristoll and oth- ers who are on official welfare duty in the city. No definite arrangement has been made as vet, the idea being in a tentative state at present, May- or Quigley explained Although the plan is refdrred to | as a Christmas fund contribution | the money will be used throughout | the winter. Mr. Quigley expects| that in December when the city will begin to discontinue its street work the money will be distributed.

An hour later they were passing the entrance to Halifax harbor more than a hundred miles nearer New York and were headed true and swiftly for their goal. Make Patriotic Gesture In reyersing the trail which Charles-A.

That was at 6 o'clock (E. 8. T.) this morning. Their subsequent progress along the coast indicated they would come to earth at Curtiss- Wright field, on Long Island, in New York's eastern purlieus before sun- set this evening. With a spontaneity of enthusiasm for the feat of the successors to the lamented Nungesser and Coli, New York prepared to give Coste and Bellonte a welcome such as it would have heaped on the first French fliers to try the north Atlantie if they had come through.
