PERRAULT EXPOSES A
PECULIAR CONDITION
BIG DEFICIT IN FIRE AND PO-
LICE TELEGRAPH FUND.
Purchased in Small Lots on
Requisition.

Supervisor Perrault handed up nice
little problem for the board to solve at
yesterdays meeting. He stated that as
chairman of the Finance Committee ne
had bill regarding which he wanted the
advice of the entire board.
DR.. Perrault explained that Superin-
tendent Hewitt of the Fire Alarm and
Police Telegraph had been authorized to
spend $20,0 600 for an underground circuit
This had all been spent and there were
now in his hands bills for cable amount
ing to sS227 80, which, If ordered paid
would make a deficiency of S8349 IT, The
cable instead of being advertised for and
purchased by contract had all been
bought by requisition in small lots to keen
within the law. The Supervisor regarded
this as a remarkable proceeding, but as
the cable had been delivered unless the
board created a deficiency by ordering its
payment the firm from Shich it was
purchased would have to suffer.
None of the Supervisors had any adj
vice to offer DR.. Perrault as to what he
should do and 1t was finally decided to
turn the bills over to the Fire Depart
ment Committee for investigation
Supervisor Holland offered a resolution
granting Bateman Brothers an extension
of sixty days on their contract for build
