SEC . 2. There is hereby created  an  emergency board which shall consist of the Insular Auditor, the Insular Treasurer, the Attorney-General, the Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations of the Philippine Assembly, and the senior member in point of service of the Philippine Commission, with the latter as chairman, whose duty it shall be whenever application is made by any officer of the Government in charge of any work of construction or repair, or by the Director of any Bureau or Office of the Government, certifying that the needs of the work, Bureau, or Office concerned require the expenditure of a sum of money greater than the amount appropriated by the Legislature for such purpose, to hear such evidence as may be presented in support of such application and submit its report with its recommendation thereon to the Governor-General. The Governor-General, with the concurrence of the Speaker of the Philippine Assembly, upon recommendation of a majority of the emergency board aforesaid, may authorize the expenditure of additional funds not specifically appropriated, in such amount as may be deemed necessary for the purposes of the work, Bureau, or Office concerned. The Governor-General, within thirty days after the opening of the next regular session of the Philippine Legislature, shall send to each body thereof a statement of the amount or amounts of the expenditures authorized under the provisions of this section.

For the purposes of this section, there is hereby appropriated from funds in the Insular Treasury not otherwise appropriated such sum or sums as may be necessary to carry out the provisions hereof, not exceeding one million pesos: Provided, That no funds shall be set up on the books of the Auditor under this section until the same shall have been allotted by the Governor-General and the Speaker.

This emergency board shall enter upon the discharge of its functions immediately after the close of the session of the Philippine Legislature in which this Act was passed and shall exist until October sixteenth, nineteen hundred and sixteen.

SEC 3 The members of the emergency board established by section two of this Act may likewise act as an efficiency board in case that the Presidents of both Houses should so order, in which case it shall be the duty of such members, organized as an efficiency board, to investigate and analyze, as minutely as possible, the organization of the Bureaus of the Insular Government for the purpose of determining the utility of each of them, the possibility of their improvement by eliminating all duplication of work, giving consideration to a reasonable equality of salaries, to the methods employed in bookkeeeping and, in general, indicating such changes in the direction and organization of the Bureaus as will tend to simplify the system of work followed, and result in economy and increased efficiency. The efficiency board shall report the i-esult of its investigations, with its recommendations, not later than the sixteenth of October, nineteen hundred and sixteen.

The board may designate a secretary, at such salary as said board shall determine and may be approved by the Presidents of both Houses, and the salary so allowed shall be paid out of the contingent appropriation authorized by this Act for any Bureau or Office, or may be taken out of contingent funds for several Bureaus, as the Governor-General may approve. The position of secretary of the board shall continue until abolished.

The efficiency board may delegate to its secretary, if any there be, such of its duties of investigation as it may desire, but the recommendations to the Legislature shall in every case be made by the efficiency board.

SEC. 4. Whenever the Governor-General shall be of the opinion that there is good reason for believing that the probable revenues of the Insular Treasury will not be sufficient to cover the expenditures provided for in this Act, he shall direct the emergency board to consider the condition of funds existing in the Insular Treasury, the expenditures already made and to be made, and the probable revenues until the end of the fiscal year for which this Act has been passed, and to propose adequate measures to reduce the expenditures in order that they may be met out of the funds in the Insular Treasury and the certain revenues which will accrue to it. The board will report to the Governor-General the result of its deliberations as soon as possible and make such recommendations as it may deem wise. In accordance with the report of the board, the Governor-General with the concurrence of the Speaker of the Assembly may suspend temporarily, or definitively to the end of the fiscal year for which this law has been enacted, the payment of the expenses of any Bureau or Office, to an amount not to exceed thirty per centum of the sum appropriated by this Act for such Bureau or Office.
