work Of the City Council.
There was a meeting CT the city Couh-
ills special committee on recapltulalioh'
rhoee nresent were Chairman Davis.
and Nessrs. Noble Reeve, and Caskle'
The report OF the ub-committee-coh-
slstine OF Messrs Noble and Reeve
which summarizes the work Of the Coun-
Ill since July /, 1891 was first taken up
and gone over. -
In the absence OF Mr.. Wahersteih pi7
-erort OF work done by him in suntmeriz-
ng the work done by the various com
nittees during the past two years was
aid over.
Mr.. Caskie stated that he had not yet
oeen able to collect the necessary imam
,ial statements which he will need IN
making up his report as to the hnancial
transactions OF the city Council.
Mr.. Reeve thought the reports OF the
garious subcommittee were rather Volu-
nfnous and should be condensed
and put IN shape. so that they would pe
read by the general public.
MIR Caskie took the ground that m
asmuch as the Council had been charged
with having been wasteful not only lls
transactions should be summarized, Du'
is reasons for it's action should also be
property mentioned. lie thought now
ever. that such a detailed report couid
aot be made on account OF the lack Oh
time. Under these circumstances the
committee would only have TO recapitu-
ate the work without any comment OF
abandon Il entirely. II any comments
we're made. they should be made tho
roughly. from beginning TO end.
MIR. Reeve thought that a few com
nents might be made, just for the sake
II giving an Illustration OF the work
actually done. Mr. Noble and Chair
xfau of
<ie After some informal discussion
II the entire matter, II was decided
% hold another meeting next Thursday
at 5 o'clock to finally adopt the report
% the Council, which VIII in the mean
lime be properly condensed.
