Comptroller be authorized to receive Nj.
Lnd's check for the sum named, and the same
be presented to the Marine Bank, par funds
to be demanded for the same. The check
thus drawn puts the sum In bank in the city's
own right. Let the check be promptly pro:
tested if payment is refused, and suit be at
once commenced against the Marine Bank
The alderman said be was In favor of the city
realizing only her funds for this amount.
AID Comisky asked if it was not true that
this check had not been offered and refused.
The Mayor said he knew nothing, Of his own
knowledge, on the subject He had heard

from Mr. Lind.
Aid. Myers read Sec. 11th Of the Charter,
touching the dnties Of the City Comptroller,
urging that the whole matter came within the
province and duties Of that officer.
The Mayor urged the clause in the section
that the Comptroller is to act "nlways in sub-
ordination to the Cnmmnn Cnnnril y -
