purpose Of final consideration Of tho Appro-
rriation bill. Mayor Coivin and Comptroller

requested to address tho Council, giving their
opinions as to tho oiroct upon tho credit Of tho

mllla as decided by previous resolution.
COMPTROLLER HAYES
Baid 1t was matter of solno dccacy for him to
appear mud express bis yiowB of tho probable
effect OF the action Of tho Council. It was his
opinion that tho Council was tho true source OF
power and Authority i'll the City Government.

rulings for thia roason. uo lad always felt
that, where he might differ, lie should yicd luis
opinions to those Of tho Council Much con-
sileration was due to tho fact thnt the Council

subject to grcat pressure.

csts stepped in. Nowhero could better popu-
lation bo fou;sd thau in tho city OF Chicago; no
city enjoyed 30 many advantages. Yet we had
been subjected to two great calami.ics. QUO
local, tho other national.
