meet the approval or endorsement of your
committee. rs -,4f
The second scheme, though less obnox-

ttonable features in this That the Council
il kept in ignorance of the amonnt and cha
racter of the work performed and prices
paid for whole month and though thew
may be dissatisfied Herewith they would
be estopped from any inquiry into it from
the fact that they have already made the
appropriation which perchance might be
exhausted by the warrants already drawn
against it before any discovery is made OF
its inappropriateness.
The third and last scheme meets our en-
tire approval and is earnestly recommend
ed. Surely no serious objection can be
urged thereto, at least none have been sug-
gested norh any occurred to us. is.'.
