his echo answered.
The truth flashed through his jaded

wasn't a ray of light in sight. John

its wrangle during February and to
finish its work in six weeks, with the
certainty that councils would tack on
some amendments before the final ap-
proval of the ordinance. Councils now
seem to have reached the conclusion,
and 1t is particularly shared by the
estimates committee, that the less time
devoted to amending the ordinance in
committee and the later the delibera-
tions of the committee begin. the more
general satisfaction will the ordinance
give when IL Is reported.
1t is claimed that too frequent meet
ings covering a long period of time give
councilman Interested in certain appro-
priations too much opportunity and
time to work their schemes through.
The practice among the members has
been to trade their support on items
affecting certain wards, with the result
that the amendments in committee are
constantly being changed
The ordinance is now being printed.
1t will be available the latter part of
this week.
