The Board OF Apportionmenr completed their
work OF passing the estimates OF current city ex-
pcnses for the year 1875 yesterday. Mayor Vance
presided. The other members OF the Board pres
ent were Comptroller Green, Tax commissioner
Wheeler and Alderman Flanagan. One item only
remained to be considered in order to complete
the estmates-that approprating $9,3oo,oo0 for
payment of interest on the city debt. After some
routine business had been disposed OF Mayor
Vance called up this matter. He remarked that
on the statement of the Comptroller and an ex-
animation of figures he was not clear that
$4,000 900 would cover the amount required for
payment Of the interest. He was, therefore, will
ing to change his vote of the previous day. II
there was anything wrong abort the appropria-
ton the Comptroller was responsible.
Alderman Flanagan expressed himself as willing
also to change his vote. He thought the Comp
trollcr from his nanc clal position, ought to be the
best judge OF what was required. At ali events.
the surplus, II any, could not De appropriated LOT
any other purpose, and ne was willing to give the
Iuil amount on this ground alone.
TAX Commissioner Wheeler said he voted Tor the
decrease to S9.ooo,OO0 because he fully believed
that it ought to cover the interest payable from
taxation In 1875. But on examining the documents
Obtained from the Comptroller's office 1t would
seem imp ossible to get at the exact debt ana
seuuently the interest. Under these clrcum-
stances, and with the uncertainty regarding II, he
did not feel like taking the responsibility wne the
Comptroller was so earnest and strenuous IN his
endeavors to retain the So 300 Ooo ana alter his re-
peaied assurances that the amount was the least
Ia COud
the credit OF the city.
A vote was then taken on this appropriation,
and the original amount Of $1,000, 900 inserted.
