Claims of j. Root, sos: J. Aldige, $40;
J. Lambert. $64; William Henry, $l9O7, and
J. Root, 1851 GO, read twice last week,
were adopted.
Mr. Shaw called up the ordinance appro-
priating S265O to J. A. Masicot, Criminal
Sheriff, for blankets supplied, and moved
that it be passed and referred to the Mayor
with power.
The Mayor said this suggested reference
was probably a matter of modesty on the
part of the Administrator Of Public Ac-
counts. and he 1.-THE Mayor preferred it
should be referred to the Administrator
himself with power.
Mr.. Cockrem thought the Mayor must
require little rest. He had had long
spell Of investigation recently, and he sup
ported the suggestion to refer the matter to
the Administrator of Public Accounts.
Mr.. Remick asked if this bill had been
approved by any of the Administrators.
Mr.. Shaw replied that it had not. but it
had been approved by the Judge of the
First District Court, and was for cash
which had probably been advanced.
Mr.. Remick expressed an opinion that
the power conferred by the reference
ought to be exercised before the bill was
brought before the Council.
Mr.. Shaw urged that he had particular |
reasons for desiring the reference of this |
clam to the Mayor, and that such refer |
ences in other cases, by atfording means OF |
effecting settlement, had sometimes saved |
the city hundreds Of dollars in one claim |
alone.
The Mayor upon this statement withdrew |
his objection, and the claim was passed and
referred to the Mayor with power.
A claim of Roselius & Phillips for 1929 96
was passed.
The ordinance to facilitate the settlement
of accounts with coroners' juries, read
twice last week, was adopted.
