REPORT OF THE CLERK.
Jersey City, May II, 1898.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to your reso-
itemized statement OF the receipts and ex-
pendltures on special street account, from
July !, 1897, to May ]. 1888, also statement
various other accounts from December l.
1897, to May i, 1898.
Owing to the difference OF opinion which
has heretofore existed between your
Board and the Board of Finance as to the
setting aside by said Board of license
moneys for distinct purposes, and the
uncertainty which exists as to whether
the moneys so set aside should be rigidly
used for the purposes designated, or be
taken as a whole and used as the wisdom
Of the Board would suggest, my state
ment has been made to comprehend both
having been done likewise.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE Z. BOUTON,
Clerk.
Received and ordered filed.
