In a phraseology which Is now almost

This change was the result of an ac-rimonious
debate on the money spent

the chairman of the commute offered
an ordinance transferring to tin
department two an ata aggregating
to »nsi.r,n. lie said in explanation
that the former street committee had
"■led all the appropriation for this
year except (48.47, and this transfer
was necessary In order to make the
books balance.
Mi. M. .1. O'Brien criticized the
ihods of the different street com-mittees.
The fnct thnt two different
committees ha,ve the spending of the
appropriation, and each committee
tries to get all the money it can,
makes trouble at the end of each year
in balance Of Ihe street accounts. He
suggested that this trouble could be
overcome by making the year begin
when council re-organizes, thus giving
one committee the expenditure of the'
whole appropriation for thai yew
Therefore when the following report
from the Appropriation Commlttl
guiding the receipts and expeniliiuns
for the next year was offered, Mr. O'-
Hrien's aim inlinont making the year
begin when Council re-organizes in
March, was unanimously agreed to.
