from sl95 900 to $4,000. and TIN important item OF
the naval parade in New-Nork HarbOr at T1OoooO
There is total of over $4O0 900, which certainly makes
the proposed 300 900 appropriation look as though It's
underpinnlng had been clean knocked out
But this is not all. said member OF the com
mittee Yesterday: There is one item that has not
been considered at all vet. That is the expenses Oh
the women commissioners who are to represent G,e
State. 1 can't tell, of course, how much these VIII
be- but they will swell the total gwen IN our Ia" ~
