Amount of cash on hand at close

commencement of year cash on
hand as turned over by the previous
Council $e27.os, although they re-
ported and so showed in their annual
report of the Treasurer S., 094.7O to
be turned over to the incoming
Council, but after the Recorder and
Treasurer had made their annual re-
port, the Council allowed bills that
had been contracted previous to the
meeting to the amount of $46767I
and issued orders to that amount

Treasurer for the present year, so
the actual amount turned over to
the present council was $627.O3 in

the amount of improvements made
by the council the past year with

Treasury at close of year, but the.

not include the brick and labor on
the five catch basins. Total cost Of
cutters including catch basins, was
