was confirmed, although Democratic member Of the

Office and had no recommendations for the place cx
c,t the support of Supervisor Haley who desired his

of the Supervisor of the Ward where the vacancy oc.
cured as was agreed at q Democratic caucus.
Among the resolutions proposed was one for the
granting of an appropriation OF s2oO0 for arranging
the Indexes OF the Registers Office.
Aid BRIsLEy-What is this G., coo for;
Aid SMITH, thought every familiar with
this the same as am. There a similar vote be-
fore.
AID BRrsLEy-There may have been similar vote
made, but do not why we should on that account
90 on paying money bEndfolded. We should know
for certainty what are to pay and what the money
is for Bills should have been presented stating the
amount of work done up to the present time aud then
msy have no objection to vote for the appropriation
AID DRxMAN-I consider il strange that we have
nothing before us 10 show for what this money Is TO be
paid Here we vote appropriation OF $4,000 which
10 be paid by some other body and what it's tobcpad
for we are not told nor do we know. - this rate
we might as wdl stay at home and not give ourselves
the trouble of coming here at all II we have before
made an irregular appropriation that Is no reason why
we should continue 90 on In the same manner to the
end OF the chapter. | confess am at loss to con-
ceye the objects which parties have in thus endeavor
ngto push US and keep on in irregular course
five ought to pay this sum- have no objection to vote
for the payment but first desire ID know what the
money is Tor, and what services have been rendered
Recorder TnLoU-I have said much on this sub
iect before that had almost come TO the determination
Of no, saying any the subject but merely give
my silent vote against this appropriation do not see,
even we make the appropriation, how the money Is
to be got there IL specific fund from which IL Is to
come.
Ala smrru-Certainiy there IL a specific sum Of
$4,000 granted to meet these appropriations.
The REcoRpEn-We are here called on to pass
resolution to appropriate money before We have su'
hority to levy the taxes from which money is to
think we have entirely mistaken our powers here;
we are not legislature, which has authority to vote
away money we are merely auditing body that has
the power OF approprapg certain sunis for certain
definite services rendered.
Aid DE>nAN-I do not think we have right to
make these appropriations without having the au
thority of the Legislature to do sO-and
approprating money which we may not DO allowed to
psy.
Aid OAKLEY-If this work Is 10 90 we have right
10 psy the bills but if it is not let sey and le the
whole business be stayed-and If we don't pay them let
the thing 20 at once BY default but il the thing TO 90
on why let us pay them according az il proceeds II 10
be good measure.
The REcoRDER-It may be a good measure and I'm
properly carried out was for referring IL TO com
mttee at the commencement, and let them report
to Us on IT, There be 5000 volumes printed and
the description OF binding that was shown TO this
Board that for which it agreed that 81 volume
should be given has been changed now and there are
three dollars volume be given. Look at the differ
ence this will make. IL is true, the binding done Is su
peror to what shown here at first but for this there
was no necessity the inferior binding would do as
well There have also been other appropriations made
which have not been proper nor with view TO ecoso-
N.Y. and have been taken here on the subject at
one meeting which have been reversed at another and
the appropriations have for this purpose been going on
and increasing and the votes varying the style OF bind
ing changed every other board Beside do not think
we have yet authority to appropriate any money a. all
for this purpose and, a. for my part am ct loss to
know for what the money Is required. We have no
items before us, no bs-we do not know for what
are votng-po specification Of any kind has been laid
before the Board that would enable Us TO know the ma
ture Of the work done.
