OF Estimate for appropriation out of which
salaries OF 1900 each may be paid to Civil Service
Commissioners Appleton and Talley. 1t said
yesterday that one reason the Mayor had for cut

all the commissioners and make them give their
fun time TO the duties of their Office In Mayor
Van Wyck's term. IL said yesterday, none OF
