The Consolidated road had hearing be-
fore the board of railroad commissioners

ROARD OF FINANCE.

The DWitt Street Bridge Appropri-
alton Increased to $5,OOO-Monthly
Bills Approved-Other Routine Bus
1ness.
All the members of the board of finance
were present last evening except Alder
man Blakeslee. The monthly bills of the |
various departments were approved as fol- |
lows: Public works, $14,094.95; police,
s12,172.73; fire, ss,559.s7; health, ST.
256.72; sundries, $25, 367.76; harbor,
$3.50. Total, s61, 4s7.23. Sewers, $11,-
369.27.
Alderman Keane of the Fourth ward ap-
peared before the board and made an earn
est appeal for an extra appropriation of
$4,000 for the construction of bridge
over Dewitt street. He stated that the
appropriation of So, 900 made last Decem-
Der was not sufficient to pay the city's
half of the cost of the bridge, as the Con-
solidated railroad proposed to build
bridge over the road at this
point at cost of $1,000 or $4,000.
This bridge when constructed will be one
of the most substantial in the city. If this
bridge is built the city's share of the cost
would be $4,000 or $4,000. In executive
session the board voted to recommend to
the court of common council that the sum
of So, 900 DO transferred from the appro-
priation for the Oak street bridge, which
will not be built this year, to the appro-
priation for the Dewitt street bridge.
Alderman Prince and Inspector Noonan
| Of the committee on lamps appeared be-
fore the board and asked for an extra ap-
preparation of $1,000 with which to pay
| for light during the balance of the year,
but the board tabled the matter until the
| next meeting.
When the bill for $164 for firing off the
cannon on the green July was presented
for approval it was signed by every men,

who stated that he would not sign the bill
| and thus become an accessory to the death
of the boy Clarence White, who died from
heart failure while the cannon was being
fired Monday evening The alderman re-
manned firm, but the bill will nevertheless
| be paid, as it obtained the necessary num-
Der of signatures.
The board voted to pay the page of the
board of aldermen $40 extra for addi-
tional services rendered during the trial
