If from this, however, are deducted the following "reserves," the margin is reduced to $30,000,000. The Planning Commission desires to affirm its belief in maintaining a general General reserves for assessment bonds, $20,000,000; sewage disposal, $8,000,000; Harlem "cushion" of funds for unforeseen emergencies.

The Comptroller has Avenue elevated Removal, $12,500,000. The only implication the Commission wishes indicated an amount of $40,000,000 and the Mayor has felt that this sum is satisfactory. to draw from this is the difficulty of fixing a budget on a carefully planned basis while It is clear that a cushion of this size would nearly preclude any capital budget either for forces beyond the control of any official are changing the governing factors.

This figure aggressiveness and intelligence, enlarges the expense of life here and at the same time is $36,000,000 less than the budget presented herewith. On the assumption that during makes it difficult to find the revenue with which that expense can be met. These qualities the coming calendar year not more will be actually spent than was spent on the average have determined at least partly that most profit-producing enterprises shall be reserved for in the years between 1924 and 1936, which seems reasonable in view of the equipment private exploitation.

This is done by setting up publicly owned bodies chartered by the states appropriate at this time, however, to point out one interesting fact of this sort—one to take over such functions as bridge and tunnel building, for instance. This is a method which, incidentally, tends to support the concern expressed by the Comptroller regarding of getting on with improvements needed by the city without involving the city's finances the deterioration of the City's plant. As he pointed out: "We have a stupendous invest- directly—an excellent example of that ingenuity which was mentioned above.

This creates a special problem of instability. For new regions are con- costs of operation and maintenance." Preliminary and tentative figures indicate that stantly being developed within the city (not to mention those outside of it) which attract (exclusive of land, parks and rapid transit facilities) the assessed valuation of buildings population from old areas. This leads to the obsolescence of housing in the old areas ; and structures used by the City for public purposes is about one billion dollars. A certain but it leaves the city with the same obligations to give service as it had before. Streets, portion of this improved property, of course, will depreciate slowly and a certain portion sewers, schools, parks and the like do not decrease in cost proportionately with the more quickly. We have not been able to make even a rough estimate of the proportionate decline in tax-paying population. But the new areas have to be completely equipped with rate of this depreciation. If a depreciation and obsolescence rate of 2% is considered new services to serve the same population as it moves from area to area. The city ends conservative, these figures indicate that each year the City must spend at least $20,000,000 up with services which are much larger in size (and cost) than is really necessary to merely to maintain its present physical plant without regard for increased services and accommodate its people. It seems never to catch up. It seems necessary to say, in this increased population.

Many changes in the traditional recommended by the Commission as future PWA projects which can be authorized by the pattern are needed which will display themselves, it is hoped, in the master plan which Board of Estimate, it is believed, without amendment of the budget. This is a matter this commission expects to produce. But there must come a time when stability is not only of getting public works at a bargain but of co-operating in a national effort substantially reached or the city's dilemma of demand as against the cost of services to relieve unemployment.

In addition to the redemption of term debt, the Commission believes that some There are certain wider considerations which the Planning Commission feels that all increase in assessed valuations during the five years 1940-1944 will also expand the those interested in the City's future should take into account. They are considerations City's debt margin. Using the Comptroller's figures for debt retirement and deducting much more general than are usually included in a fiscal forecast; but they seem likely to the Comptroller's most recent "reserves" for assessment bonds, estimates conservatively be the most important determinant of long-range capital budgets in the future. It must be based upon past experience and current trends indicate that future assessed valuations admitted that on balance there seems to be reason for pessimism. New York's greatness will probably expand the City's debt incurring power to about $330,000,000 by the end has always been based solidly on its magnificent harbor.
