The A Appropriation Bill.

The appropriation bill, which has been
occupying the minds of the city gov
eminent for the past two months. was
finally passed, last night at speciai

Gil and the first question was that OF
concuring with the aldermen in strik-
ing out the appropriation of $500 Tor a
schoolhouse on Highland avenue ana
$4,000 for one at South Gardiner. 1t was
carried by yea and nay vote of ] TOO.
