APPROPRIATIONS POSTPONED
NEW SCHEDULE RoBS ST. MARY's PARK OF 75,ooo.

After day of dickering and half dozen sprightly scraps precipitated by the belligerent RottanZ., the Board of Super visors, sitting in executive session, agreed yesterday upon the distribution of the S20O, 900 that has been added to the public funds by the withdrawal of the garbage contract and new hospital project Incl dentally they added $92.000 to the general distribution by breaking their faith with the people in resembling the 900 appro- priation for St. Mary's Park and by with drawing the proposition of opening Lyon street at a cost of s17,0o0.
 ..s All this was done in executive session, and the deal would have been finally passed in open meeting but for the arrlVal of Father Otis and Attorney Chadbourne. who lifted their voices against the robhinS
 of the fund for St. Mary's Park. Rottanzt :. and Clinton took sides with them and
 forced a postponement until clock. this z afternoon. in order that the friends or the
 park project may have time to- use thelr. : inf1uence.:* :.'- .... :..:
 Rottanzi and Clintor's voices were the only ones against the scheme to rallroao the appropriations through. Dodge hao gone over to the majorityf for the consid- s. eration of an. additional appropriation or < -S20OO0 to. the Assessors fund, and Lack /: mann fell in upon. a. promise or SlzoO 10 5rbuild=a a flight of. concrete steps on Joyce

''XVhat become of the previous order! v. Its been passed,'' replied Clinton. :. ''It has heyI'' yelled Rottanzi; well. .: I won't. stand for any such rallroad@ work as this in this board. l didn't near #. read, nor did I have vote, and I'm %not going to tolerate any such crooKeo- ''S;,f 1''.If you'd been. paying attention to business you'd have heard 1t" retorted quoth the irate Rottanzi, "how :.lone. since honest John went over to the gang?

 to say, too, that it doesn't give Mir. Dodge more money than he said he'd need to run his office"
 Dodge jumped into the arena at this with an explanation of why he needed ho -frea1 1u-nT1 fFr rl6 If he was going to buy the taxpayers with it, and was only shut off when Clinton moved to rescind the vote and give Rot * tanzi's amendment a chance.

Chadbourne reminded the board of it's promises and said the people would hold them to account for broken pledges. His eloquence moved Clinton to a motion for postponement until this af- -ternoon at o'clock.
 The apportionment as agreed upon by the board yesterday was follows:
