tenn here. Friends of the company en-
deavored to sidetrack the report, claim
ing that there was NOT sufficient appro-
priation on hand to meet the cost OF
such an investigation as was proposed,
They We're defeated, however, an6
money will he obtained from the unap.
propniated revenues of the city, II
/ the appropriation for legal expenses is
, exhausted by this inquiry.
AS soon as the mayor approves the
action of both boards the investigation
will be commenced. The city attorney
said this morning that no expense
would be pared to make the investiga-
ton thorough, and that If the assertions
of ex-Cfty Attorney Davenport were

attorney says, if it is shown that the
city's servants were in collision with
the street car corporation.
