Appropriation of 1954 Treasury Income

The Act addresses a government-finance situation where a deficit of P62,497,289.24 was incurred during July 1 to December 31, 1953.
The Act recognizes that Section 9 of Republic Act No. 906 established a quarterly allotment system to prevent deficits by keeping expenditures within income.
The Act determines that applying income collected in January and February 1954 to cover the P62,497,289.24 deficit would have paralized essential government activities for about two months, creating a serious national emergency.
The Act states that it is in the public interest to block the deficit and allow expenditures using collections made by the present administration during January 1 to June 30, 1954 for appropriations previously authorized by law.

Republic Act No. 906, Section 9 is identified as establishing a quarterly allotment system aimed at preventing deficits.
Republic Act No. 1193 operates in the context of appropriations already made by law prior to the approval of the Act.

Section 1 authorizes expenditures during January 1 to June 30, 1954.

The Act permits using that income to fund authorized expenditures during the covered period.
