Depieted Funds.
Many warrants now due remain unpaid
because of a scarcity of cash in the funds
upon which some of the warrants are
drawn. The police. sewer, park ami library
/ funds are particularly low. the latter
having only about $500 In it, the others
being entirely exhausted.
The fire department funds are low,
while the street workmen are not able to
get their pay, there heing none for item.

boulevard fund that cannot be touched,

made By which some portion of 1t could he
transferred. when it could be put to imlne-
date use.
The general fund is about exhausted.
and it is expected that the council at its
next meeting will take action to tide over
