dent Maris in the chair, all the members ex'
cept Mr.. Green being present.
Mr. Adams, from the Finance Committee, |
read detailed report of the deficiency OF Joseph
L. KiIgore, late City Treasurer, az made out by
James Wooley the expert. The report stated
that there appeared to be deficiency OF S434o.-
49, and closed with resolution referring the ac-
counts to the City Solicitor for settlement by
process of law or otherwise.
Mr. Baker objected to the words 'or otherwise"
in the report, as it gave the Solicitor the power
to cancel the indebtedness, without due process
of law, and moved that those words be stricken
out of the resolution.
Mr.. Febiger also objected to the phraseoogy
of the report, and thought that after the lapse
of go long time, labor and expense. thore
should be something else than an appearance OF
a deficiency
Messrs Hayes and McIntire thought it pro-
per to give the Solicitor the power to colectwith
| process OF law, and the resolution waa therefore
right and proper

the resolution adopted.

pairing Tatnall street below the railroad. at an
estimated cost of $3.50 also to repair Front be-
tween Brown and Clayton Streets but no est-
