AIdermRnie Committee Not willing

The aldermanic committee on claims
yesterday turned down the bill of H c..
Sinks, former employee of the health de-
partment, for $3.50, on the recomm enda-
ton Of Assistant Corporation Attorney
Taylor. Sinks claimed that between Feb
Is and April % he had worked over time
in caring for contagious diseases and
vaccinattng people sufficient hours to en-
title him to $190 beside his salary
Aid Bloomquist was of the opinion
that had Sinks been retained in TIE de-
partment no bill would have been pre-
scented. AS it was, he thought the former
employe should take the bitter with the
sweet and be satisfied with what he had
been paid in regular salary.
The corporation attorney said there
was no legal claim against the city and
there was no provision by which en-
ployes could be paid overtime, and the
claim was unanimously rejected.
The bill Of John Johnson for boarding
twenty-one patients at the infirmary
from Feb. q to March "a at 81 Fer day

Johnson for services as cook at the Same

1904, was disallowed. THE claim of Mrs.
Johnson was not approved by Health
Commissioner Ohage. q
There was some discussion over the
bill for gas used at the central station
for the month Of April, the amount being
$4o.34, but the records showed that it was
several dollars cheaper than the bill for
March and it was allowed. Aid. Bloom
quist called attention to the fact that the
gas bill for the central fire hall for April
was less than SIS, and suggested that a
gas-savfng machine be attached to the
meter at the police station

AS the interests of the state and ma

the proposed organization will be very
advantageous.
The new banking law gives the public

argued that it would be to the advantage
