About .$54 900 insurance of city property

men were on hand eager to get their share
of the renewals. The committee, how
ever, decided that this matter would not
be taken up for three weeks, and the agents
departed.
Among the demands presented were sew
eral for salaries on the cash fund. These
demands aggregated about $500, and the
committee was confronted with an empty
fund. 1t was decided to recommend to
the council the transfer of sufficient money
from other funds to pay these de-
mands. The recommendation is therefore
made to the council for the following trans
fers to the cash fund: From the tax fund,
1867, $4,000; from the sewer fund, $1,000;
from the common school fund, $4,000.
The last named transfer is in the nature
of a partial repayment of the loan of $1O,-
