M the GU Board. u b devotsd q
paying Increased wages Il the xetorI
house. s.
The Mayor Mac, where is the addi-
tional money to come from?
Mr. Mccormick (candidly) + don't
know.
Mr.. Baird There is no means OF
providing additional money.
Mr.. McKelvey-I would be glad to
vote for it, il could see where the
money is to come from.
Mr.. Waterhouse-It will be time
enough to provide the money when
the Gas Board asks for it.
Mr.. McCormick-The Gas Board has
assured the committee and members
of council that if the money is APP
propriated it will be glad TO pay 1t
over.
The City Clerk-The provision is
not made In the ordinance, and there
is no request from the board in their
estimate
The Mayor-Mr Mac, it would ap-
pear that you should provide for the
other end of it.
Mr.. McCormick-Oh council can
provide that
Mr.. Williams think the money
can be found.
Mr.. Baird agree with Mr.. Will
liams, but the committee made no ar
rangement because it found no means
of getting the money.
The Mayor-And the works are,
even now, $4,000 short.
Mr.. Williams moved to refer the
r1,<@I%
Committee. for report lat the next
meeting. This was discussed at con-
siderable length, and the motion was
finally Withdrawn. Mr.. Mccormick S
motion was then put, it being to add
$4,000 to the Gas Board estimate, and
it was carried: ayes, s; noes, 3. MI.
Waterhouse then moved 20 refer the
whole matter back to the committee
to find the cash, and this prevailed,
and council adjourned.
The situation is simply that the FL
nance Committee, in making up its
estimate of receipts and expenditures,
exhausted every means of increasing
the available receipts of the city, and
yet was short of what should have
really been done, as the B. P. w. Or
ders were not touched at all, and but
one-half of the Gas Board overcheck
was provided for. With $4,000 addi-
tional money to raise, under the Nc
Cormick resolution, the only thing the
committee can do is to kite esti-
mated receipts from taxation, which
will simply result in more orders out
standing and drawing interest. The
alternative is to fatty refuse the in
creased wages asked for at the gas
works. Neither horn Of the dilema
will be pleasant.
Between now and the next meeting
of council the restraining ordinance
will be resurrected from its grave,
and there is every prospect of lively
and interesting debate.
