C0EIAHGElI EAfEScES t
IN my report to your honorable body. I
have included all account not otherwise
provided for, which accounts amount to
$lI.4e5. 10, which the amount appropriated
for contingencies is Only SLAB 20, and a.
there are several accounts against the city
not provided for otherwise, it is certainly
necessary to amend the appropriation ordi-
nsnce.or make some provision which will
give me authority to issue my warrant on
the Receiver.
At the last meeting of the Second
Branch Of Council q resolution was
passed authorizing the City Clerk
to issne orders upon the Receiver to the
amour. of $500, on account of Assessors
salaries. If said resolution is passed by the
First Branch, the orders cannot be issued,
as no provision has been made for the same.
Yours respectfully
FRASK w. Bowers,
City Clerk.

The matter was Their, on motion OF MIR.
Cruise, referred to the
COMMITTEE ON NANCE.
The ordinance amending the ordinance
in relationl to the centre market was
then taken up, read q first time, and deba.
ted at considerable length. The hour Tor
opening was fixed at 4:30 o'clock in sum-
mer and 6 in winter, and the ordinance was
passed as was also an ordinance in regard
to the lower market.
The report of the Board Of Equalization
and Appeals was then taken up, read, and
concurred in until the clause in regard to
taxing the cars Of the Street Railway Com
psny $25 each wal reached. MIR. Hildreth
said the c~ompany's charter contained the
clause authorizing o license of S25 on each
car, but that Council had released the com.
a for fifteen years. He said the company
vas not making any very great amount Of
money, it had lately been put to consider
able expense in'.putting down o fiat rail, and
he thought this special tax should not be
imposed.
This brought Mr.. Harrell to his feet. He
protested with characteristic vehemence
against releasing the company from the
tax.
The clause was finally adopted.
The next thing in the report was a reso-
luton increasing the salary of Assessor
Ralph Ankle $50. This fa.sed

'ost by an overwhelming vote.
"Rssolved, That the City Clerk be au'
rhorized 10 draw his order IN the Receiver
for the balance Of assessors salaries, now
due"
The clerk announced that there was nc
money available, and the resolution was re-
ferred to the Committee on Finance.

compensation of members Of the board, the
total being $3.50, was referred to the same
| committee.
