y The Committee Finance 10 whom was referred
resolution to pay E. D. White such amount as may

that they think the better plan would be TO let the co
lie tractor the city and the parties IN front Of VINO
property said work done for the amounts que nj
thereby saving the city from the necessity Of bring
original suits against the property holders. VIM
suits are in many instances neglected, and the q
