LAYING OUT FUNDS.
TIE FINAN0E COMMITTEE APPR0PRIATES
MONEY TO The DIFFERENT WARDS.
The appointment of the General Fund and the
Ten Cent Levy Dlstributed-A Night It Cold
Figures-How the Work Sands.

There was an adjourned meeting OF
| the Finance Committee last night, for
the purpose of making appropriations
| for the different wards out of the gen.
eral fund and the ten cent levy.
The report Of the Committee of the
compromise loan of '73 was received
and filed and the bond ordered de-
| Stroyed.
Then came the matter of the several
appropriations for the wards. At the
last meeting Of the Committee it was
found as has already been printed, that
there was a balance out of the general
! fund of 81, 7s1O3. 1t was voted at that
meeting that the money be apportioned
among the different wards for such i'm
provementS as may be desired. Coun-
Gilman Maxwell foresaw the difficulty
that would attend detailed division OF
/ the money, and moved that it be appro-
/ priated to the Board of Public Works to
use at their discretion.
There was contention on this point.
| The vote stood TO 1, and the motion
was lost. The members then proceeded
! TO the division of the funds. each of the
eight wards being entitled to S222. 90
out of the general fund. Councilman
| Farrell acted as Grand High Tabulator
! for the occasion, and as the representa-
! tiveS of each ward present stated the
urgent needs of the respective localities
| in detail, and had the money divided
accordingly, it naturally consumed
much time, and the session very nearly
approached diet of cold figures. After
dispoSing of the general fund FRO
rata, came the division OF the
ten cent levy, which gives to
each ward s., 1852. In one or two
instances the members who had no spec
ial work that could be done with the
small pro rata of the general fund
Jumped the same with their share of
the ten-cent levy in order to have a
larger sum to carry on some one i'm
provement. The various sums were APP
propriated as follows:

1t was moved that these figures be
sent to the City Solicitor and that he
prepare an ordinance for submission to
Council at the next regular meeting on
/ Tuesday evening, although there was
question raised by Councilman Maxwell
as TO whether the ordinance could be
resolved out of that mass of figures in
that time.
A wager Immediately went on, and
if the ordinance is not forthcoming by
Tuesday night, Councilman Ferrel sets
up the suppers for all present at the
meeting last night, otherwise Council
man Maxwell will arrange the bill of
