name OF Joshua tcoDleS 1Or repairs. OU
the twenty-seeond of May, 1868, the amount
with other unclaimed bills, as appears by
an entry in the Controllers Office, under
that date. The scandalous manner in
which tho books of the city have been kept
for the last few years, makes it difficult to
ascertain whether the claim has been set
tied since that time or not, Ny investiga-
tons lead me to the conclusion that it has
not been paid.
With regard to interest claimed, do not
think we ought to pay it, Sbecause the
money was not called for when it was SUBJ
ject to draft of Mr.. PEBBLES, on the pay roll
1t appears that the bills on the roll to the
amount Of more than $4,000, were paid in
March, 1868, yet on the twenty-second Of
May, 1863, this claim of Mr.. PEBBLES was
transferred to the City Treasurer as not
having been called for. l recommend,
therefore, that the amount of the claim, viz:
$ll3l IA, without interest, be settled by the
Administrator Of Public Accounts by the
to ordinance No. 1877.
JOHN S. WALTON,
Administrator.
Carried.
Mr.. Delassize called up the resolution ap-
propriating nearly twenty thousand dollars
for DR.. Anfoux's smallpox hospital, which
was carried.
Also the ordinance to settle with A.
Thomson & Co. for excess of water rate, and
to pay the Earth Closet Company fourteen
hundred and thirty dollars.

tract was closed

October.
