Hall called attention to the fact that some
time ago the city engineer was ordered to
re-survey the city. AS the engineer had
been engaged on the Parley's calon con-
dult, he had been unable to carry out the
work Of surveying, which was badly
needed. In order to go ahead with it, it
would be necessary to engage additional as
slstance for two or three months, and he
secure such assistance as he needed.
In response to questions, Mr.. Doremus
stated that it would cost about $500 for
three months.

stand this expense, and he moved that the
matter be referred to the finance commit

self for a final effort and offered another

est bidder. There were two votes in favor
of this, karrick coming to the front with
Penn, while all the others voted against it,
