there seemed TO be a tacit understanding
among the members that the Boards
contingent fund should not be tampeRed
with, as by former Finance Committees
and Councils, but be left TO the Board TO

the Board intended, namely, for repair
ing and cleaning purposes, So by gem
eral consent the Boards contingent fund

The amount appropriated last year for
the paving OF Market street from the
creek TO Tenth street and on Tenth
