be put on record, had not been eDgross-

know the reason. The mayor said the
clerk who had written the minutes did
not properly understand the English
language. That was the reason. 1t
was ordered to record bis position on
the budget.
Kalteyer said his resolution ordering
the message and budget printed, had
also been omitted from the record. This
was also inserted.
