Commission superintendent OF Pub
lie Works to be a member), s3600," re-
ported as follows:
In looking up the report Of the
Auditor we find that $4,000 was appro-
priated, out of which $4,000 was expend-
ed and there was not much to show OF
what was expended in the past only
In keeping up the drives and few minor
improvements and being that the Com
missioners have engaged a landscape
gardener and have placed him in
charge and within the past three
months there is some change noted and
with more liberal appropriation and
a Just distribution OF that fund q good
showing in the future could be made.
I'VE recommend that an itemized ac-
count should be kept to show what is
being expended by the commissioners
$1,000 per month be granted.
