the whole question was out OF order.
The Chair, In view of the fact,that the
order was not to be drawn in favor OF
the clerk, and that the Board had really
no official knowledge of who the clerk
was, decided the point not well taken.
Mr. Heisler appealed from the decision
Of the chair.
Mr.. Curry, In personal explanation
said he had performed the work before
he was aware of the provision OF the
Charter which had been violated. In
regard to the charge he did not think it
too high, In view of the work performed
which had occupied him all OF three or
four evenings. But still he did not want
TO take anything from the Board or tax
payers OF the city, and he hoped the
Board would vote the bill out of exist
ence.
The question on Mr.. Heisler's appe
resulted, on rising vote, in SIX for t
chair and five against; but as all the m
