| The communication was accompanied
by Rescue Company's certificate of

to be drawn.
After Council adjourned a bill of
1883 fromStannard andMeCloskey for
repairs to the garbage crematOry was
freely discussed. Republican mem.
bers were angry at themselves be-
cause they did not object to the bill.
1t was paid without object and then
it dawned upon the members how ex-
DenSlve lne Work was.
Sometime ago it was announced
that repairs to the crematory we're
necessary, and it was stated in Coun-
Gil that the cost would be about 5000.
Stannard & McCloskey, official re-
pasrers of the slop burner, were given
the job and it cost $9Y6 according
to the statements Of some council.
men.
After the meeting last evening
President Charles Ii. Blaine declared
that the reDairs had cost too much.
George a. Willis. chairman of the
crcmatory committee. replied that
the estimated cost Of repairs. was
$500 for each end OF the furnace, and
he kindly appointed out to President
Blaine that it had two ends. Mr..
Blaine was aware OF that fact. but
showed that even if the estimate was
$500 for each and the repairs had cost
within four dollars of $400 more than
the estimate.

IT is to be hoped that the storm
is over for time at least. Too
much rain is as bad as not enough.
