introduction. nine letters from resi-

Aid Jordan said that Mr.. Blake
had been working Sundays and
nights and this was extra work.
A months work comprises 26
or 81 days. If the bill was
his, he would collect it, for every
laborer is paid for extra work.
Aid Meyer said that when the po-
lice were on extra duty during the
street fair they got extra pay. This
practice is customary wherever labor
is employed. aa
The matter was dropped, as the city
attorney was immovable.

Aid. Meyer took the position that the
special improvement fund ought not to
be run low, as it takes long time to
get the assessments paid in. The recor-
der refuses to use money from one
fund for another. and the council
should not get into the position it did
last summer. q
The bills were allowed, including S73
