icctcd to the allowance on the sensible ground
that there was no information before the Board
of Estimate to how it was to be spent He
contendcd that to put such sum OF money
in the hands of the Police Department to be
expended entirely within its discretion was an
improperly, and he suggested that n nominal
allowance be made. as to keep the matter
alive until proper scheme Of expenditure was
submitted.
There was common sense in this. and the
suggestion should have been adopted without
question. but the Mayor insisted on having IN
immediate vote on the larger sum. and when
Controller Mycrs's vote was found to be the
only one in the negative Mayor Gilroy said
that the proposition had been carried. The
Controller at once called up the law. II reads
in these words.
