Mr.. Riner made a report from the
Committee on Streets and Alleys asking
for a further Appropriation of SO, 600. 9s
to cover the deficiency, and in this connec-
ton called attention to the fact that a
great deal of expense had been incurred
and money paid out of the street and alley
fund which is not properly chargable to
thar fund. He estimated the amount to
be about 5000.
Mr.. Warren suggested that this matter
be referred to n committee in order that
they might ascertain what, ifany expenses,
have been improperly charged to the
street and alley fund, and made some re-
marks in support of his suggestion,
Considerable discussion ensued between
Messrs. Warren, Rincr, Mayor Carey and
others in reference to the expen-
diture of money on the public
streets, the Mayor taking the position
that there had been a good deal of money
expended where it ought not to have
been, and on some streets, especially on
Ferguson street, nothing has been done
and no money expended, where it should
have been.
Mr.. Riner contended that nearly IS, 900
has been expended for lumber and
bridges. The amount expended for
grading has not been very large.
Mr.. Warren stated that he did not be-
lieve in filling the streets with gravel and
said that such orders had been issued.
Mayor Carey wanted to know to whom
he referred as having given such orders.
